Haste ability for warlock spells?

[jkil]

<DIV>Wondering if Haste that increases "attack speed" is going to do me any good.  So, now that I've went through the trouble to get my FBSS, is it actually going to help me?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-42 Warlock</DIV>

<P>As long as youre using your melee weapon you'll get an increased attack speed, but dont expect to speed up your casting. I think that would be a bit "unrealistic" because casting a spell is a thing of mind and concentration, a certain pattern of moved, words and gestures.</P>

The funny thing would be the reaction of the non mages classes... <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Increased spell range items would be sweet to have again too. Planes of Power had some sweet spell focus items introduced to the game.

I expect we'll get focus items in a couple of expansions time as part of the third attempt at caster balancing <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. <div></div>
