Haste Question

[ineubis]

Interesting....

So I have a Belt of Iniquity (only 16% - but has stats too) and a Rod of Lamentation 25/36.

For grins I calculated what DPS would be on that and if I changed to a Mithril 2H (21/40) for example with 31% haste on it +16% from my belt... based on those calculations:

with 16% the Rod goes to 25/31 (36/1.16 = 31)
with 47% (31% from M2H and 16% from belt) the 2H goes to 21/27 (40/1.47 = 27)

25/3.1 is 8.06 dps
21/2.7 is 7.77 dps

I would have assumed 21/40 with 47% haste would be better than 25/36 with 16% haste but assuming the calculations are correct (same as what's on the haste guide) it would appear not.

and don't make fun of my belt :P ... I got it on my very first ever trip to Sky, and since then have lost rolls on 4 diaphanous globes and have never seen a Spiroc Lord drop the NO DROP piece in maybe 25-30 Sky runs :cry:
