Ancient Constructs -- Cast, Attack, or Bug??

So with my summoner I tested between Faster Attacks and Increased Cast Speed with Ancient Constructs to see which would help more and it appeared that Faster Attacks (now this is visually.. nothing definitive) made them shoot more which would imply that their attack is an actual attack like a wand projectile or bow projectile. The problem comes from when I use my ranger and shadow toons which specialize in Evasion and Dodge to include spell dodge and dodge projectiles. When I go to the Vaal temple and ruins these things ALWAYS hit. I went to Normal A2 to test it out and stood in front of one of them with 6000 evasion (supposedly 12k against projectiles w/ passive) and Spell Dodge (so if its a caster it should misses 20% of the time) and it never missed once.

So is this supposed to be a regular projectile attack in which I should be evading it with Evasion and projectile dodge, a cast in which I should dodge it with spell dodge, or is it completely bugged to never miss?

Thanks in advance!

Ancient Constructs are spell casters so evasion has no effect against them. If faster attacks actually works on their spectre form, then it's a bug.
Ancient Constructs cast spells, they don't use attacks. Faster casting will increase the speed of spectred ones, faster attacks will not.
Ok so if Ancient Constructs are spell casters then how come I cannot dodge their attacks with Spell Dodge? Thanks in advance!

A rare one had precise mod and extra cold! This is only seen on attacker mobs, not spellcasters! Is it bugged or has it been changed?
