The truth about haste and weapon delay...

<div></div>I could have sworn it was .8 as well, mainly from a dev post many many moons ago. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  (no, not from Gaige :p )

That would rock.Hey Gaige, what contributing Spells/Gear do you/we as monks have that will boost Haste, I believe I'm pretty sure of the spells, but I'm trying to figure out the combination in getting 100% haste. Just a related question that would relate to attack rate.Masuimi</span></div>

<div>This is exceptionally well-timed news.  I was about to order an ironwood great staff because it has the higher delay, but was very sad I would be stuck with lousy combat animations.  Now I can safely get the ironwood bo without fear of wasting haste <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>

<div></div>The only "easy" to get haste item would be the flowing black silk sash. I still use it because I can't find anything else with haste that would be appropriate for my level. :smileysad:
