haste advice for a 72

[Terabithi]

<p>As the title suggests, I'm level 72, and thusfar I've put a ton of stock in haste. I've got a great haste item, and I run my haste song 24-7, and I've also put 8 points into the haste-booster in the INT tree.</p><p>My current Bard Achievement Setup is this:</p><p>WIS: 4-4-8-6-1</p><p>STA: 4-4-8</p><p>INT: 4-4-4-8</p><p>I have 9 points more to go for bard achievements.</p><p>I'm noticing that my combat has slowly modified, so that now, at 72, I tend to be streaming my spells and combat arts straight together, and being much more defensive-minded. My melee attacks seem to simply fall in between them, when they can.</p><p>I'm starting to suspect that my haste factor is becoming more and more irrelevant. Do you agree? I'm contemplating keeping my 4 int points, but then dumping the rest of that tree into the AGI tree. I'm not sure the poison proc is much good to me though, for a similar reason....I'm not going to be melee-hitting all that much.</p><p>So, I'm left not really knowing what to do. Any advice?</p>

<p>Really depends on what you plan on doing.</p><p>If you are raiding, soloing, grouping ect.  This is mostly for a group set up</p><p>I would add 2 to your wis line where you have 6 so your spell casting is increased.</p><p>I'd dump the int line all together</p><p>In sta I'd take the next one fortismo, 8 points will up your double attack.</p><p>Basically my dps comes with spaming spells and CAs, I do get some auto attacks in there, but not enough to primarily focus on haste.  My current lines (I raid):</p><p>Str: 4-8-4-6-1</p><p>Wis: 4-4-6-8-1</p><p>I am working on the shadowline at the moment but once I get enough points i am also going:</p><p>Sta: 4-4-4-8</p><p><img src="http://kyrainetheranger.tripod.com/starsigone.gif" width="432" height="130" /></p>

<p>I appreciate the input. I'm currently primarily soloing, and expect to raid MUCH more at 80.</p><p>I've recently pulled some of my INT line and put it into the AGI line, not sure if I like it yet.</p><p>I'm now,</p><p>AGI: 4,4,4,4</p><p>STA: 4,4,8</p><p>WIS: 4,4,8,6,1</p><p>INT: 4</p><p>I might fill out the AGI line a bit with my remaining points, or perhaps add that next tier in the STA line.</p>
