So I put on haste gear and I don't notice my casting going faster. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug?????

I'm being very sincere when I say this, so bring on the tough love.
I've been playing this game since the release of the NA ps2 release (off and on). In times past I use to gear swap, but as I got older and took on more responsibilities, this game turned more into a leisure thing and I do what the capacity of my brain will let me. :P
So I don't gear swap anymore, I sorta try to find that happy medium, and i have varying sets of gear I use for one job based off a situation but I don't change them that much to count as gear swapping. And I'm in no way in disagreement over fact. Math doesn't lie. But does that make me a bad player? I'd like to think skill vs gear can find a happy medium.
Educate me. Thanks

03-16-2011 02:17 PM #5To be honest it's really not that bad to set up basic macros, and the Improvement : Effort ratio is enormous. It may take 2 minutes to change your WS macro to include going from Walahra Turban to Varangian Helm and back, and each time you WS after that macro is set up you are reaping benefits from it. Obviously that's only a single slot being changed, but even just that one slot makes a huge difference in your damage output. Doing that even for just a couple slots is tons better than not doing it at all, and really isn't much work.

Yeah you're right man. lol. I'm being such a lazy ass. I guess if I'm paying for a game and invest time into it, no matter how tired and shot my brain is at the end of the day, I should try to make the best of it. And it'll only improve myself as a player.
/sigh better start working on some builds. And as for my pld, Haste is a god sent because as for the moment we wont be used for anything but what little Dps we can offer. (I say that realizing I have no grounds on which to back that claim up.)
Thanks again GG.(0)

Yea probably lol. I didnt follow this thread step by step then saw this same bs about not gear swapping elsewhere and read this one. Jus saw a lot of the posts and the brag sigs and had to laugh. Finished cop the hard way and started playing in 2007? Okay, i need some of w/e they are on. A sack and shell holder and doesnt know that haste improves dps output? And doesnt swap gear to improve said output? this has nothing to do with being an elitist, this has to do with common f***ing sense.

Does gear haste effect casting times as well?
