Haste Cap Questions

[Catharz]

At what percentage of haste do you hit the haste cap?Do all of our haste giving abilities stack (I remember reading in patch notes at some stage that they do)?I have Adept 3 versions of Everburning Blaze, Halcyon Blessing and Calm Tranquility.  From memory, they added up to 81.9% for all 3 (I can't remember the exact haste of each, but I remember them adding up to that) and in addition, I have the haste from the FBSS.  Now, if I'm hitting the haste cap with those abilities, SOE will either need to increase the haste cap for KoS (when they give us upgraded versions of those abilities) or some of them (Everburning Blaze in particular) will become totally pointless abilities.<div></div>

I forsee some sort of over-haste ability to raise us above the cap ever so slightly in some form or another. That, or some other effects added to the haste spells to make them worthwhile.But also, think of it this way.. if our own haste spells were more powerful, you could drop certain sources of haste and still have the same level.. forexample you could use a belt with better stats instead of an fbss. Or you could have more haste while in our mixed or defensive stance. Or you could drop the everburning line to preserve hp.</span><div></div><p>Message Edited by x0rtrunks on <span class="date_text">01-15-2006</span><span class="time_text">05:37 PM</span></p><p>Message Edited by x0rtrunks on <span class="date_text">01-15-2006</span><span class="time_text">05:38 PM</span></p>

Personally, I'd like to see the KoS version of Everburning not, how should I say this...KILL ME to use. The first time I saw that Rangers got a haste I was infuriated. I believe it was about the same level as the and about the same ammount, but I don't recall it draining the crap out of their health. I'm going to look into it again, but that's what I recall off hand.<div></div>

<div>Everburning Blaze is level 60, so there wont be an upgrade for it in KoS, the upgrade will be at level 74 when/if we get that high.</div>

the game will get that high.  i'd bet your last dollar on it.  i'm curious as to what they will do also.  they're kinda rolling with the punches on this whole deal.  look at our concentration.  /shrug  i'm sure they'll come up with something.  that's what they do.<div></div>
