    SPriest soft cap question

    Hey guys Ive been trying to find out what the soft cap is for haste as a SPriest. I keep seeing conflicting answers so I figured I would just make a post and get everyone opinion on it.

    There's certain haste plateaus, no real soft cap. Aim for one you're comfortable with depending on your gear.

    The plateaus should be covered in multiple posts here on the forums.
    I'd recommend 2589 for an extra tick of VT for you, with a few upgrades it should be reachable!

    Go to Index number 13. That should help you with your haste caps.

    It's not so much about soft caps as it is when does mastery become a better stat due to being between haste plateaus.
    Go to the link ^ above and scroll to near the bottom of Kilee's guide. There are graphs and the considerations of race and whether or not you get DI in raids (it DOES make a difference).

    For goblin it is 2435 due to racial.

    Soft haste cap is 50% haste like it is for every other class in the game. This is because at 50% haste your GCD becomes 1.0, which is the lowest you can get. If you're refering to the most beneficial haste breakpoint you could always check elitistjerks

    Anyhow, Both Links are the same guide, just in different places.

    At your gear level, don't worry about trying to reach any specific Haste points. Just focus on upgrading with higher ilvl gear which means more Int.

    See my Azgalor Priest which isn't too far ahead of you gearwise.

    BTW - quit reforging into Crit...

    Thanks for all the input guys, I do appreciate it. And the 2 pieces that I reforged for crit was because the hit on those items put me over the hit cap, so I reforged out of that for crit. And those 2 pieces already had haste so i figured what the heck.

    Shoulders doesnt have haste, reforge for that.
    Chest doesnt have mastery, reforge for that.
    Reforge cloak crit to haste.
    Reforge legs crit to mastery.
    Reforge rings hit and crit to mastery instead of crit.

    You can use this link, just press "optimize" in the bottom and it will show you what to reforge, the stat weights are on spot.

    When you get better gear you can put a haste cap of 2435 in there too and it will calculate it nicely.

    2.5k one is the only one you can really reach. So you either get it and swap to mastery or keep stacking haste, depending on fights you are working on, your trinkets and even simply your preference.
