Default 3 backstab attempts with duelist?

I never even remotely saw this possible before with self haste and vog, not even with bard song/ervaj or whatever. I have been unable to do it without Claw of Lightning equipped, With it equipped however I find myself able to get off 3 backstabs per duelist timer. Is that extra 1% haste off claw making that much of a difference? I have seen it take anywhere from 1-2 extra seconds after the 3rd backstab goes off for disc to fade. Log parse of one of the fights with an example. If this is only possible with Claw equipped or something then I would think it beats out deadeye for sure?

So no one seemed to even notice this on red, or even know about 3 duelist BS's they thought(as did i) that you could only get 3 bs on deadeye.

blue? no idea how many claws you guys have, so just curious. Obviously makes up for a lot of the dps gaps on certain targets if your hitting hard enough. Slashes for 170s about.

I always get 3 backstab attempts on the Duelist timer.

I do have a claw of lightning, but technically i've never hit duelist without a 41% haste equipped. I had sky belt for Kunark premier, had Silver Bracelet of Speed early into Velious & now Claw.

I'd be very curious to find out if the 1% haste over Ragebringer's 40% is the reason we get 3.

Did worn haste ever start effecting skill timers? If fleeting quivers are working properly they should, but my gut tells me they never got around to fixing it. Think something got broke when they removed the visible haste % from gear.

I did some tests awhile back showing that only spell haste had any impact on bow delay, and presumablely anything else timer related.

Fleeting quiver is def not broken. 100% active and working.

2 duelist backstabs opposed to 3 doesn't matter? yeah, sure, an extra chance at double 1k+ if good hit, not at all useful.
