			 +1		 +2	        +3	        +4	       +5
Vampiric Touch	   10.00% (0220)   30.00% (2588)   50.00% (4956)   70.00% (7324)
Shadow Word: Pain  08.34% (0024)   25.00% (1996)   41.67% (3969)   58.34% (5943)
Devouring Plague   06.25% (0000)   18.75% (1256)   31.25% (2736)   43.75% (4216)   56.25% (5696)

The %s are the amount of total Haste you need with Mind Quickening and Darkness factored in. The number in parenthesis is the amount of haste rating you need when you look in your character sheet to get to that level.

Hey New, slightly off topic but is it actually possible with the current gear to get to +4 (or 5 for dp) extra ticks?

Top geared Priest in the game is Rivah from Ensidia. He has 2223 haste according to his character sheet. So maybe after trinket procs and such.

I have 19.46% haste (2492) and I am not even BiS geared yet, I even passed on a really nice haste helm last week ^_^

With this current tier, not statically no. As Regennis said, with procs, specifically Heart of Ignacius, it could be possible, but probably not unless you neglect the hit cap as well. However, I think the idea behind getting the extra ticks gets more attention than it deserves. I believe it's Destruction Warlocks (maybe the wrong spec I'm quoting) who are going to be the only class that get a noticeable increase by reaching a certain haste plateau, and that is for only 1 of their spells.

Its good to have the numbers and understand them, which is why I provide them to people in multiple threads. I in no way fully support the idea of reaching these levels as a way to drastically increase your DPS. They have the chance to slightly increase it if you play near flawlessly, but personally, I just like to be in the know about my class.

Thanks I was just curious because I am by nature a curious person I believe it is Affliction locks you were thinking of.. but it has been ages since I have even touched my lock so I could be wrong

<3 Dark intent nom nom nom

In the case of Dark Intent and getting 4 additional Devouring Plague ticks, you would need:

1.4375 / 1.05 / 1.03 / 1.03 = 1.290458685
x/128.5701 = 29.0458685
x = 3734 Haste for 4 additional ticks

So it starts becoming more easily attainable.

Also, I think it is Destruction as once they get their Immolate to 8 ticks, Crit and Mastery become better for them than Haste. This is just through what I'm told about Warlocks and can't really back that up with my own study.
