    I actually debated on whether or not to put it at 25% or 26% because technically the cap IS 25%

    The haste on gear that add up to that are not all accurately displayed. (As you stated)

    The discrepancy is in the gear, not the cap.

    Btw thank you all for the input, I read this over like 30 times and fact checked my math and stuff.. But it's hard to get everything. I appreciate it.

    This is correct.

    The cap on haste from gear is 256/1024, or 25%. However, because the actual haste value is in bit form and the values of haste on gear is in %-form, rounding tends to occur which can cause discrepancies between your visible haste value and your actual haste value.

    An example:
    1% Haste on gear would round to 10.24/1024, but because the game floors values you're only actually getting 10/1024 of haste from that piece.

    In most cases, a visible 25% Haste in gear translates to 250/1024, which is less than 25%. In order to truly get 25% haste, or 256/1024, you need to have 26% of visible Haste gear. However, because you were only missing 6/1024 while you had 25% visible Haste gear, that last 1% of visible haste is worth about half as much as each of the previous 1%'s of haste.

    I think this is an excellent resource, by the way. I don't see anything wrong with your numbers in the OP, I just thought I'd clarify the 25/26% gear Haste bit in case anyone was interested.

    Haste is essential if you are a Warrior who uses one of the big, bulky weapons (Scythe, Greatsword etc.). Thanks for the guide, it was an interesting read.

    I think your statement remains true with a bit of pruning:

    As someone who (still) favors Dual Wield on Warrior (though I use two-handers as well) I find that Haste is the single most important stat once you cap Accuracy. Doubly so when soloing on WAR/dnc.

    Adoulin is installed but still not lighting up on your title screen? Here's what to do:
    Go to https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/login?cont=account and log in, then Select Service >>> PlayOnline / FINAL FANTASY XI >>> Add a service account (blue button) >>> input expansion software registration code.
