Which adept 3 for level 24 troubador?

[Danthina]

<DIV>I was so lucky to harvest a rare, so now I can get an adept 3 song.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Whats the best choice for adept 3 in the 20-29 range?</DIV>

I chose Gerard's (group attack speed) Adept III. Not sure how much better than Adept I it is, but it says 24% increased group attack speed.

<DIV>I took Haste Adept3 and Power Regen Adept3... Bad choices. Looking back I'd take either a buff adept3 or a damage song adept3.</DIV>

<DIV>I was about to have the haste buff  ( Gerards Resonant Sonata ) made to Adept 3 but you dont think it's worth it?

<DIV>It isn't terrible but there are better uses for a rare. Here are the circumstances I feel it's worth using haste</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>- In a melee heavy group - 3 or more melee types</DIV> <DIV>- When fighting mobs over white or lower con</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Remember that haste only affects non combat ability DPS increasing it by 24%. So if the group was doing 1000 DPS (for argument's sake) and half of that was being done by the melee, so we're down to 500DPS. If 30% (from parses) is non-combat ability DPS (down to 150), that means you're actually increasing that 150 DPS by 24%. That's a whooping 36 DPS! :smileyvery-happy:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm not sure what adept1 or app4 of the spell gives in haste percentage but say it's 18% then really you're seeing an 8 DPS increase for that rare. Now, my math might be off completely but if I'm right then I think you might be better upgrading Dissenting Cantana which still packs a mighty (for a troubadour at least!) punch at level 36 for me.</DIV>
