Hello all,

My rogue is level 40 and is about to acquire ragebringer. My initial thought was sweet that will be my haste item and wont need to buy a 3rd spiked seahorse hide belt for my toons. But from the reading I’ve been doing the haste from epic wont shorten cooldown time on backstab. Soooo I have a velium swiftblade in off hand (I actually planned on replacing this weapon) it has 36% haste would this do the trick at shortening BS cooldown and be a little more effective then a spiked seahorse hide belt 34%? Any insight or suggestions on other affordable options would be appreciated?

Ragebringer has 40% worn haste on it. Worn haste doesn't stack (the game just uses the highest % haste item), so none of those items you mentioned will help you at all.

I believe the only way to shorten the Backstab cooldown is to get a total of 41% haste or more. In this case you have three options:
1. Start raiding. All of the 41% haste items are raid items.
2. Now that Plane of Sky quests are MQable, you may be able to buy an MQ for the 41% Haste Plane of Sky belt https://wiki.project1999.com/Renard%...t_of_Quickness . I am not sure how often those sell, or for how much. I would imagine they are in high demand when they do sell.
3. Get https://wiki.project1999.com/Eyepatch_of_Plunder , which will give you 20% spell haste. Then you will have a total of 60% haste with that and your epic.

Sadly none of these options are cheap or easy.
