Proposal for Update of Catastrophe Haste addition

[Demonjustin]

The boost over cap would have to be fairly small. If it were put to cap at 93.3% like you are talking about before then you would have a DRK with roughly 1/3rd of the delay of every other DD at capped Haste, which it should go without saying is vastly overpowered. About the best thing would be 2~2.5% cap break, bringing its delay to about 92.34~89.775 from the current cap of 102.6, an overall reduction of about 12% of the current delay it caps at. It would end up being just a bit slower than Ragnarok(86.2).

I didn't say i wanted it at 93.3% . I said make Catastrophe's haste go past haste cap which is around 10% which I think is reasonable considering the buffs of Sam and Monk with their gear + abilities. I want to clarify this and it's meaning as 93.3% isn't what I meant. I might be living in a pipe dream about the 10% but it should be at least a 5% gain considering my next paragraph.

The reason stated for Ragnarok is exactly what you are missing about scythe. The scythe WS by all means isn't very strong by other WS standards, however, if you look back years ago the scythe was a zerg TP weapon. That is why it should be faster than Ragnarok considering the weapon skill is much weaker. I don't think you can get anyone who has both scythe and great sword to disagree with that on a average basis. I can make mine triple attack every so often but that doesn't make it the norm. I would be fine with them decreasing the healing capacity of the weapon to increase the damage DPS potential of the haste.

I mean that is what dark knights do right!!! We sacrifice all our powers so that we can be on par with other DD but get 1 shot dead... WOOOO. Seriously though the healing/haste sacrifice falls in line with what dark knights do.
