Spell Haste, a face melter’s dream
Actually, not only the shadow priests, but spellcasters in general would benefit from this combat skill rating.
Cyberdemon over at the WoW Forums asked the question: what does spell haste do? Blizzard CM Tseric answered the question, “decreases cast time” or makes players cast spell faster. At level 70, it requires 15.8 points to get 1% of spell haste (or a 1% reduction of cast time). Trinkets and other items provide spell haste points for a number of seconds and there seems to be some confusion regarding it.
Some players argue that having 1580 points would grant 100% spell haste. There’s a confusion on what it does exactly. Does it allow players to do instant cast? Or does it reduce cast time in half? With all the confusion, Tseric said that he would clarify it with the powers that be when they come in on Monday.
Anyway, here are the combat ratings conversion values at level cap from Eyonix. Hopefully they will all be clarified within next week.
