Haste Stacking

Supp · 11-22-2006, 10:23 PM

Hi Everyone. Ive done my research, but find nothing definitive. It seems that before the expansion, all haste everywhere stacked. But then I heard, post expansion, that the 10% haste cloak doesnt stack with a standard 23% haste item like the Forsworn bracelet. Now I could care less about the 2% haste adornments, so this is straightup a question about regular items with 20-23% haste. Has anyone tested post-expansion whether they stack? My FBSS is pretty inconviently located from my character, but I will test it personally if I have to.

It is my understanding, and my experience, that no haste items stack. The only stacking haste I have seen is bard & enchanter haste spells. I think these stacked on top of ONE haste item for a total of 3 haste effects, however i never took a direct look at this situation, as i've never had the luxury of grouping with a bard and an enchanter at the same time.

I used to sport the FBSS and the ancient slayer ring untill I took a close look and realized they didn't stack. This was months ago.

Ill have to agree that not all haste items stacked pre GU#29

no equipped item haste effects stack. only procs and spells will stack along with the 1 haste item equipped. also it will only use the higher haste item equipped.

Sorry, I wasnt clear on one point. When I said all haste stacked before the expansion, I meant on EoF test.

So you're saying in EoF Beta/Test all worn haste items stacked? (Or perhaps Adornment Haste stacked with item haste?)

I didnt play beta myself, but yeah, I was told all haste stacked. Not just adornments. So before I get all excited, I was hoping that someone had personally tested it because I heard that the cloak didnt stack, so maybe none of it does.

That's a great question. I assume since the haste on adornments is very small that it's meant to stack with worn item haste. Adornments aren't really designed to fill the entire role of a dropped item, but rather to accent and augment it.

A 2%-5% haste adornment should turn that 15% FBSS into some 17%-20% item haste.

On beta yes all Haste items did stack, so the DT bracer, the 10% cloak and the 20% adornments (yes adornments could haste 20% up till about 2 days b4 live when they nerfed down to 2%)

I believe that was not intended though but i believe adornments should still stack with a haste item.
