The Haste effect isn't that big of a deal anymore, its easy to hit the 80cap with a number of different setups. Making LR last 3min like Zerk would help the job tremendously. DRK is sitting at the bottom of the DD pool, not the middle, it could use a couple big boost and not be broken.

No only DRK can get to the 25% job ablity haste cap(other than 2houring DRG).... and because haste is exponential that extra 5-15%(you can get 10% from hasso and 10% from a DNC but almost never have a dance so 15% is more notable) is huge when capping or close to capping equipment and magic haste...

With the enormous and glaring assumption that you aren't already hitting 80% total haste cap?

Strike back with logic not insults..

The fact that i CAN and DO reach the 80% cap is why i can spout off on what it amends to.

the absorb speed idea allows us to not "need" as much support, eg magic haste, plus as kirshy has shown on another forum, slow on mobs doesnt cap at 100% adding another tool to a repertoire that can be seen as value. i mean how often are u getting full marches/haste in an abyssea style xp group atm? From what iv seen most ppl just come as war/mnk etc rather than brd as the v.smite or ukko spam makes up for the spot taken by brd. Just a thought.

haste cap from gear is 25(26) ja 25 and that leaves about 30% unspoken for so add a whm or buffer that actuaully remembers haste (spell) that adds on what 15%? still leaves another 15% where absorb speed could be tossed on to help out, blu can get a haste type spell, dont know what its called but why cant we since we're both magic using dd.

as i said previously, my ideas are more or less icing on a cake whereas the cake itself would see our ws's modified to be more damaging and something that allows us to use them more, like unnerfing abs tp, hell im sure u all remember the sheer joy of that spell when it first came out lol. maybe not bring back to that level but least let it absorb tp the mob does have w/o so much 1/2 1/4 1/8 bs (though it was fun guilly spammin on decos when i first got it lol)

on another topic entirely, can somebody plz direct me to the maths for the whole delay reduction thing with dw+haste? i saw it some where on bg awhile ago but didnt get time to really read through it, asking cus i might trade in abyssal ear for suppa since i might be lvln nin

i'm in the minority but the group that i run with always has a bard in the main party (there's only around 7-10ish of us) hell we got our bard the empy harp, i better have friggin songs! lol
