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

lol, I found an even easier way to explain it now that I did the math w/ smaller numbers.

Compare 6 to 5, a 20% increase.

6/5 = 1.2. x100 = 120%.

The .2 is the actual increase, that one in front of it is a place holder.

Do people actually still think haste is pointless after 31 pages?

It's not that people think it's useless, it's that the players arguing against it are just lazy to properly gear their jobs.

10 posts per page would make me cry.

Almost as much as i am already because yes, people still think it's useless.

For about four years I had no idea haste on gear made you attack faster, so I never used any of it. I thought it was just for when a mage cast haste ON you that it worked. I was completely naive, but at least I wasn't debating the fact afterwards. I'm now a NIN with a good amount of haste and -delay gear. I do have a piece I gimp myself on purpose with instead of a suppa out of sentimentality. I'm sure I'll trade it in some day. If FFXI had more lines in the macros, I'd probably swap even more gear, but I do swap gear constantly. I also have a macro for every weapon skill for different gear swapping based on its mods (Evisceration, Hi, Yu, or something else).

If I had more time to play, I'd probably have capped my haste gear, but real life wins.

See, you I have no problem with. Natures on the other hand continues to argue that she is right and everybody else is wrong. Her stupidity level has risen far beyond my expectations in the last few pages.
