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

2) 80% haste isnt a 400% increase in attack rounds, at 240 dly you have 15 /min, with 80% haste you have 75. Thats a 500% increase. You had the right calculation when you translated it to hits.

Incorrect. It's a 400% increase.

Let's look at 100 delay.

80% haste

100 x .2 = 20 delay.


Ok, Now, 10 attack rounds before haste.

100 delay x 10 attack rounds = 1000 delay.

How many attacks does 20 delay get in 1000 units of delay?

1000/20 = 50 attack rounds.

50/10 = 500%. 500% isn't the increase. It's 500% of 10.

10 is 100% of 10. The increase from 100% to 500% is 400%

50 is 500% of 10, but it's not a 500% increase to 10. It's a 400% increase of 10.


I don't like how I worded that, so I'll try again.

Let's say 50 = 500%. Let's cut that into 5 equal slices.

10 10 10 10 10. Each slice is 100%

100 delay has one slice of 10.
20 delay has 5 slices of 10

4 slices is the increase. 4 slices is 400%.


Edit:
To make it really simple.

Let's look at 10 and 5.

5 x 2 = 10. 10 is a 100% increase of 5. (because you double 5 to get 10).

10/5 = 200%. It's 200% of 5, but the increase is 100% because 5 is still 100% of 5, which is our base point.
