Haste Cap

[TOTTFIROOB]

Im wondering, is there a haste cap? cuz guildie mentioned that u cant attack faster then 1.0 sec, so im wondering if this is true or not?

They are wrong well for white hits anyway)

[Grindfreak]

the only haste cap that truly exists is when your swings reach 0.1 attack speed, which causes the server to
fail registering procs.

As far as I know there is no haste cap for white hits, but for specials you have the Global CD issue. However, just doing a SND with most current gear setups usually brings your OH below the 1second swing timer.....I've seen my off hand with all the 25man raid haste buffs around .5 second swing timer.

The 1 second he is referring to is the cap for how often you can use specialy abilities (sinisiter strike, mutilate, rupture, ect.) No amount of haste will lower this for a rogue.

the only haste cap that truly exists is when your swings reach 0.1 attack speed, which causes the server to
fail registering procs.

I thought it was .01 seconds?

You're right :P stupid 0 button fails me again.

[TOTTFIROOB]

Ty all, i was refering to white attacks

You're right :P stupid 0 button fails me again.

And .01 requires like... Warglaives, speed pot, heroism, blade flurry, snd, and a few of the hyjal mobs mc'd. Heh.

That still won't even get you close to 0.01 speed AFAIK.

just ask any druid dude a feral will tell u that most will have SOME haste on their gear and will thus have an attack speed under 1.0 secs

Yes it is the rogue forums, but the mechanic is still the same.....if it is capped at 1 second attack than cats won't be able to drop either so even though it is in reference to rogues...mechanic is still the same.

[Funkyjunky]

There is no attainable cap

[mystogrigen]

since we got offtopic here. How about the soft cap?
for you stupid people, that means when it stops being a viable stat choice.

when blizzard stops putting it on gear? Its not something you gem/enchant for, so it really just comes with the gear.
