April 2002 posts. These are closer to classic era -- still looking for pre-Luclin evidence.

Pardon me but you are incorrect, haste DOES effect the refresh rate for backstab, as it does for all other special attacks, bash, kick, flying kick, etc. The base timer without haste is 10 seconds for backstab, with a FBSS it's roughly 8 seconds, if you are rage equiped it's 6 seconds.

I am not 100 percent sure, but I think that haste does in fact effect Backstab refresh times. I just checked with Ragebringer equipped and then without it equipped, and the refresh on the backstab button was almost 2 seconds faster with Ragebringer equipped. I believe that RB has a haste of around 40 percent. This was a short little dry run, and I'm gonna do several more tests to get an average to make sure I didn't get a bum sample. If anyone else has done an exhaustive study of this, please post here and maybe save me some time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
