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

I hate to be pedantic (ok so I don't), but learn what D.O.T stands for!

So... your base delay is first reduced by Delay reduction gear or Dual Wield/Martial Arts. This value is used to calculate TP gain. Then Haste is applied, and the new value is used as your attack speed (delay/60 = time in seconds between attacks).

So using this formula, can a 2H user (aside from drk during last resort) reach the 80%?

(1-[10% Hasso + 3% Sword Grip])*(1 - 76.5 haste) = 0.20445

OK, it's close, but not quite there. Bolter's roll would need to be added with anything but a 9 (unlucky roll) for 2%+.

I don't see any other weapon delay gear on wiki, but there is probably some that isn't linked to the delay page. Not sure if SAM gets any bonus to hasso for extra weapon delay-, but I'm mainly interested for my WAR anyway.
