[dev1010] Dark Knight's Adjustments

[Dart]

Without Soul Voice the 80% haste cap can only be reached for 30 seconds out of every 4:10

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.

Magical haste cap is 43.75% but you can't reach it with a single BRD without Soul Voice. The best you can get is 36.5% (12.5+9+15) or 61.5% haste. the difference between 61.5% and 80% is nearly double the DPS.
