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

[RaenRyong]

I'm normally not an ass to people but when someone takes their time to write up a guide about the most important melee stat in the game, clearing its misconceptions and clearly explaining its use to players who perhaps were not convinced before and then you come in with the whole "you don't need haste, hitting harder > hitting faster, opinions > facts" view, I have to say something.

This is a guide thread - an informative thread. Everybody decides at what level they want to play (for instance, I don't play WAR even though it's technically the strongest DD - but I don't go around telling everybody that WAR being strong is just an opinion). If you don't want to swap gear, that's entirely up to you. If you never want to weaponskill, that's entirely up to you. Just don't advocate such styles of play in an informative thread.

Why not? Why can't I advocate other styles of play in an informative thread? This all started because the original poster said I was naive. I wouldn't be partially trolling/defending my style of game play otherwise.

Because your "style" of play is intentionally gimp. it does not even attempt to perform at an acceptable standard.
