Haste and You... A guide to the misinformed.

[Arcon]

The OP should be modified and include two facts:

- 50% haste is not 2x damage, 80% haste is not 5x damage. Why? because there is a (huge) delay after every job ability and weapon skills you use ( 2seconds+); this is not modified by haste, and your idle time is all the more important that you have high haste. 2 second delay when you take 8 second to get 100 TP ( SAM) means you're idle 20% of the time for example.

Up to 2x damage. Up to 5x damage. That's like saying "Haste doesn't even give you 1% extra damage if you're not facing the enemy!"

Edit:
WS damage in itself has to be regarded seperately, because you would swap gear for that. But you're right that WS frequency isn't increased as much as people sometimes make it out to be, since you can overshoot the 100% TP mark sometimes (obviously same with Triple Attack and OAX weapons).
