Haste Items - Worth it?

[Korb]

I am now 38 and was looking at the FBSS quest and was wondering if it's worth it? I do the majority (if not almost all) my damage through our CA's, so would a 15% increase really help for the in between fights? Thanks for any help!

it hastes your bow, too, which is never bad you can have one item haste and one spell haste active at any given time, and the FBSS is the best available haste for your level don't pass it up (i'm still wearing mine) <div></div>

I can honestly say my 58 Lvl Guardian is still wearing his.  My ranger is not quite to the level to start it yet but it will be one of the HQ's he will do.

<P>It certainly can't hurt! I wore mine for a long time till I obtained my Fabled belt (with speed boost). Plus, if you are in a guild..well those HQ status points are going to be a boost for your guild. :smileyhappy:</P> <P>I have lots of HQ items that are rotting in my room (or sold LOL). I did the quests for the guild, even though the items were useless to me.</P> <P>Back on topic (lol): yah Haste items/spells are a great thing. I'm a DPS machine..and anything that's going to give me extra DPS makes me extra Happy. :smileywink:</P>

Sounds like I'll do it then! Need to build up my harvesting skills though... <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I just joined my first eq2 guild and I'm having fun with the quest, this should be a good addition. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

FBSS has also nice stats (imo) besides the 15% haste, so yes worth to do it.Haste stack rules:1 haste from your items (the highest)1 haste from different spell lines (so eg. honed reflexes DO stack with Veil of the forest)The cap is 100% ++Xan<div></div>

Haste will affect both melee and ranged autoattack. Like any other proc, you can only have one source of "Haste" that will grant its effect. And yes, the FBSS is most definitely worth it. Now that autoattack damage is more meaningful, I'm finding myself <DIV>using it more often, especially on raids where I want to conserve my power for the long haul.</DIV>
