Post your best Haste/DPS

[FlameingInfer]

<div></div><div>This was in a differnt forums about the berserk ability being broken, and as u can see, I am not broken by any means. LoL, Post your best haste, I have made it to 132%haste and 132% DPS  and remember guys WE ARE NOT BUTTON MASHERS!! you must pay attention to your haste and DPS and lay off the CA's till u come back down from being Berzerk/Hasted. you will get much more DPS that way.  Haste is how fast you swing in AUTO ATTACK ONLY, DPS is the amout of Damage you do PER SWING ONLY ON AUTO ATTACK,  with the cast times and recovery times you loose alot of DPS.</div><div> </div><div>Say im doing the 100+ as the pics below show, If i end up casting all my CA's, by the time im done, i will be back down to 20%-41% haste and maybe 26% dps, then i am auto attacking while waiting for the CA's to come back up. see how much DPS you just lost?  Everyone tells me that Zerkers cant DPS untill they see me. LoL. anyway, enjoy the pics, i will post 132%haste and 132%DPS as soon as i can catch a Screenshot of it, Enjoy~~</div><div> </div><div><img src="http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/5843/eq20013054wj.jpg"></div><div> </div><div><img src="http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/9077/eq20012826ru.jpg"></div><p>Message Edited by FlameingInferno on <span class="date_text">02-27-2006</span><span class="time_text">08:07 AM</span></p>

Nice man.  I just gotta ask yah i have never gotten my haste or dps up that high while in defensive stance.  How did you do it?  I agree with you tho zerkers are definelty not broken in fact i have notice that we are now very close to neck and neck on the consistent dps ladder as the brusier.<div></div>

<div></div><p>While I am not certain for haste I can tell you that DPS caps at 100%. I've had something like 170% DPS with Death March, Consecrated Aura, and Fury Berserk, but I hit no different than if I had just Death March.</p><p>I believe haste also caps at 100%, but again, I'm not sure. I do know there is a cap for it though.</p><p>(Former 60 SK of AB now 30 Berserker on RP-PVP)</p>

I noticed you're using a 1h and shield? Wouldn't it have been better to use a 2h to get the most out of that dps and haste?

[FlameingInfer]

<div></div><p>no, the one hand weapon i am useing i think is much better than the two handers i have access to,  If i had the Capt. Evershifting Vogue then i would go with the 2h.  But as it turns out the 2h cobalt great sword, 2h ironwood bowstaff, and the 2h ironwood pike are just above the 1h i have, by 3 points in damage rateing. So i think i get better stats and more avoidance useing the shield and 1h.  check out the weapons below.  I will however switch to the 2h T7 Katana that i have at lvl 63 so my damage will be VERY nice with that, It has a higher damage rateing than the Evershifting Vogue.</p><p>Morningstar of the Guard and the Crimson Rock Targe is what you see me useing in the pics above. posted a few of the same weapons on the same pics so u can compair.  Yeah im a weapon [Removed for Content]!</p><p><img src="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1984/eq20013336rs.jpg"></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/7057/eq20013345go.jpg"></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://img499.imageshack.us/img499/9779/eq20013351zw.jpg"></p><p><img src="http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/6684/weapons1jp.jpg"></p>

<div></div>Where does the Katana come from? I saw one on the broker but can't seem to find out where it is from. :smileysad:

[FightGame]

<div></div><div></div><div></div><p>The katana drops from the second to last named in the nest..I forget it's name.  I picked one up a few days ago.  It's damage rating is a little higher than the captain's, but the captain's has better attributes.  As far as procs, I think the captains is better.  So all in all, imo, they're about the same.  I might end up giving mine to a guildie or selling it.</p><p> </p><p>As far as haste/dps mods, some very knowledgeable guildies told me they both max out at 100.  Tis why I don't cast open wounds when others in my group already have large haste buff(s) on me.  I'll take a quick look to see when it comes off, then cast open wounds, to get the most from the spell.</p><p>Message Edited by FightGame on <span class="date_text">02-27-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:38 PM</span></p><p>Message Edited by FightGame on <span class="date_text">02-27-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:39 PM</span></p>

[FightGame]

<div>When soloing, the buffs you can give yourself, from being "berserk", or getting armor/weapons/jewelery with haste buffs on them, will never max them out, so use them whenever you feel it would be most beneficial, which to a berserker, would be when fighting more than one mob at a time.</div><div>In my previous post, I was talking about the buffs that I get from others in my group, which at times is over the 100% cap.</div><div>As far as I know, you'll never reach this cap when soloing.</div>

[dremtak]

i'm still fuzzy on some of this...................what does your haste max at and if it does max at?......and if you go above max is there still a benefit but at a lower rate or none at all?also is your attack rating a true number or do you take that and then calculate it to your current haste or is the haste all ready calculated into that number allready?i was duel wielding the other day and had a pair of t6/t7 wepons on both at 44.0 dmg ratingi also had a set up with one t7 duel wep of dmg rating 44.0 and a t5 fabled baton with a dmg rating of 33.o but it had 20 percent haste on itthe first setup i had a higher  attack rating but the secound setup i had a higher haste rating and my attack rating was only a few points lower.if haste is not reflected in theattack rating then i will definately then i will definately use the secound setup.......but im still not clear on thisany help appreciated thanks guys<div></div>

[pera]

With both Dps and Haste now being displayed on the persona window is it also possible to show Hit point and Power regen per tic?   Haste and dps only mater to melee classes and mean nothing at all to casters,  But the Hp and Power regen would help everyone.the hp/Power regens should show both inate, ratial trait, and spell regens per tic.   Not sure how you would define "per/tic" or normalize spells that are fasters regens, but it would be nice if it was possible.<div></div>

[ke'la]

<div></div>The 100% haste cap is why noone should try and haste a Monk.  As self buffed(for DPS) I can pull down 84% haste(with Everburning Flame(wich trades Health for Haste)).

<div></div><p>Ok, so at which level can I see some nice DPS increases?</p><p>Because right now at level 21 I can only get a mere +17% <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Are there any tricks to increase it?</p>

[morningmists]

<div>and if so why does Harclave give you 200% dps mod?</div>

[Fumbles]

<div></div><p>example to the benefit of +100 mod would be like this:</p><p>buffed Haste 150% player is debuffed by mob for 50% player is still able to to utillize100% haste, same person gets hit with a debuff of 100% now would only have 50% haste applied.  Breaking the cap allows you to be able to maintain a higher haste when debuffed then would be possible if it were hardcapped at 100%.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

[FlameingInfer]

<div>I cant find anything on what the cap is.  Maybe we can get a Game Designer to post here?  or someone from SOE that knows how this works.  Would be a great help on how I play my toon.  The more i understand how things work the better i can play my zerker.  Just from controling what and when i cast i have doubled my DPS</div>

[Fumbles]

<div></div>Um Moorguard posted in this very thread that the effective cap is 100%.
