haste vs dps mod

[Aull]

<DIV>Ok this question may have already been asked, but can anyone explain to me which is really better Haste or dps mod. Also does haste just make a toon attack faster, while dps mod makes a toon hit harder?    Plz reply when possible.   Thanks</DIV>

<P>Haste makes u hit faster, like 100% haste measn u hit 2 x as fast so a 4 sec weapon now hits every 2 secs. It will also effectively mean any procs u have on you from spells or items will hit more often as procs are normalised for the non hasted weapon value.</P> <P> </P> <P>DPS mod make u hit harder, so 100% dps mod measn u hit 2 times as hard each hit.</P> <P> </P> <P>Both DPS and Haste only affect auto attack and not CAs</P> <P> </P> <P>DPS is slightly better than haste of an equal value because with high haste figures u can start missing auto attacks due to casting CAs.</P><p>Message Edited by Illustrious on <span class=date_text>11-14-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:22 PM</span>

Couldn't have put it better myself, except to reiterate, the difference is small.  I tried switching a 50% haste set up with a 50% DPS set up, and saw no difference.  Fights took as long, either way.
