Spirit Quickening is presently awful, do not use it. Its haste is only half that of Alacrity, for barely more than half as long. It's a false economy. You end up spending nearly as much mana per hour for much less effect.

doesn't spirit quickening stack with haste?

The spell effect itself stacks on account of the stat portion stacking, but the haste effect does not. Can't tell you whether that's correct for the era or not, didn't play a Shaman back then. Right now, today, on P1999 the spell's not very good.

Regarding stacking, pretty much every clicky, spell or song is haste v1, none of these stacks, only the higher haste % is used despite if the buff "stacks" for stat reasons, the only haste v2 in game are the two ervaj line songs, which had low% haste that stacks but can't break the cap... And there's no haste v3 on p99 at all, so you can be pretty sure that haste never stack there.

Lowest root and keep clicking. I usually slow as well so you can send your pet out to speed up the killing process.

Going that way, if root breaks on a JBB cast the mob will run up to you and likely not have recycled the attack round (since it was attacking the pet). Usually you can re-root and step back after taking one (or no) round of attacks. This gets much easier with Turgurs since it lasts over 5 mins.

Fight spectres and spectral keepers,just sick pet and use cazic fear undead clicky

Posting to agree with those above who said just use the pet. I soloed with JBB and pet held aggro just fine. L45-55 I didn't cast root once whilst soloing with JBB.

Reading comprehension...

There's 4 total types of haste. Each type stacks with a different type, but not the same type.

EX. Type 0 + 1 + 2 +3 stacks.

Type 0 + 0 does not stack, and only the highest haste% works.

Type 0 = worn haste (no buff icon).
Type 1 = most casted hastes (regular bard song, all ench and shaman hastes, and any item clicky that gives a buff)
Type 2 = Bard extra haste, in P99 only ervaj
Type 3 = Bard over haste, not in P99 (luclin+).

In general, you will only ever have 2 hastes, a worn (non-buff) haste and a casted (buff icon) haste.
