Lets talk about haste

there are 3 primary classes that get haste in this game

Encs- have the best haste with Goe(77 lasts 1 hour) and Emp(60 last 3 hours) for tanks
Shamans- Ancient (50 but last an hour base) and swift like the wind (60 but last 16 mins)
Bards- Blademaster 60 but is sung and only last while the bard is around

I was thinking maybe they could balance this out alittle more maybe giving shamans a 60 percent haste that lasted longer as one of their runics or or maybe even upping the haste to 65 or 70 percent if the devs see fit. I hate that you must rely on encs for certain buffs while raiding i guess this is the same for Jaylas Boon but haste seems more reasonable because other classes get it.

anyways i was thinking maybe runic1 could be replaced by a group/raid haste or single target of something similar to emp but doesnt have the positive tanking effects but has a longer duration.

anyways just a thought

honestly i would be happy with just upping the duration of swift like the wind because it is comparable to emp haste wise

Remove First Aid, make it give innate 75% haste.

Fixed everything and you get a free buffslot. Fuck i a ma genius.
 
I need runic 1 to heal my exp group as there's never any druids or clerics to exp with. I cant give it up for a better buff that I'd still just load an enchanter to cast anyways. I think shaman haste should suck less tho.
 
random idea -
make swift like the wind longer and give it + AGi and DEX cause if i were swift like the wind id be quickhanded and nimble on my feet.
 
Imo set the ancient haste to 65% haste, and just ignore swift like the wind.

This wont change the need for Empower. Tanks still use Empower even though they could run GoE (for obv. reasons).
This wont change the need for Blademaster, as it does more than just haste (and is usually not sung for the haste, but for its other effects).
This wont change the need for GoE, as its still the top haste.

All it would change is that when your grouped with a Shaman, you now have a decent alternative to loading an enchanter every 1-2 hours for new haste if you run GoE, and if you lost emp, you might not even bother going and getting it refreshed.


p.s.
Also what class can give you the most haste alone?
Bard, 60 blademaster and 20 overhaste. (obv ench + bard is more, but bard vs ench, bard wins)

I always thought ancient haste WAS 60%....but yeah making it 65% would be awesome in the absence of an enchanter.
