Druids
I'm currently in the process of leveling a druid to make sure the tips are up to date, you can follow the progress on theese pages.
[Iron Counterweight] and [Enchant Gloves - Minor Haste]
currently you need 10 haste rating at level 60 for 1% speed increase, using the formula: Rating/(10*(level-8)/52) (source) with level 1-10 counting as level 10.
From this we get that our 30 haste rating will count as:
- 0-10:78%
- 19:14%
- 29:7.43%
- 39:5.03%
- 49:3.8%
As you can see the benefit declines quite rapidly, but especially at the lower levels it's helpfull and the best thing is it works in forms reducing attack speed to
| Bear | Cat | |
|---|---|---|
| base AS | 2.5 | 1.0 |
| 10 | 1.4 | N/A |
| 19 | 2.19 | N/A |
| 20 | 2.21 | 0.88 |
| 29 | 2.33 | 0.93 |
| 39 | 2.38 | 0.95 |
| 49 | 2.4 | 0.96 |
Update
Quite a few people expressed doubts that the weapons would affect the form attack speed, so here is the proof;
(on both images I have 20 haste on the hammer, and 10 haste on gloves) Bearform - level 19
Catform - level 20
Do note that the 20 haste rating on the hammer has an anoying tendency to not get displyed in the haste budget on the paperdoll - this is how ever not a druid issue, as it happens on all chars I've tested it with.
Once your ready for kitty cat pvp action the effect of the hastes arent really that good anymore - atleast it seems not compared to what else you have available at that time. You should be eligble for +15 str ( outlands enchant ) on the gloves, and +25 agility is properly better for the weapon.
Ofcourse if you are on a tigth budget ~7.5% dps increase is not bad at all, and it remains to be seen just what the speed increase is equivalent to in str/agi at that time.. I'll update this section once my druid gets there *grin*
