With this change you will now be able to hit the hard cap for haste 72% of the time without Soul Voice. So yes it's a huge, huge upgrade.

And haste is *not* like double attack where adding more is a linear progression. It's a curve. An additional 5% haste adds much more damage when you already have 75% haste than it does when you have 25% haste.
as I said if you have a bard fulltime this isn't as earthshattering as you're making it out to be. I am in no way saying that it isn't a nice addition.

25% from gear

(I can never remember which) 43-44% from magic status. Basically i'm getting a boost of 12% in haste for that duration. its nice but not gamebreaking and certainly doesn't make up for how weak our ws's are compared to the other mainsteam jobs.
