You know, I must say I am pretty tired of hearing everyone argue about who gets this cloak casters or tanks?

Let's evaluate who would benifit the most and for the sake of this arguement I will omit the saves because everyone can benefit from saves.

Casters: INT

Paladins: STR WIS Haste

SK's: STR INT HASTE

Rangers: STR WIS Haste

Warriors: STR Haste

Rogues: STR Haste

Monks: STR Haste

Pretty obvious which classes benefit the most from this cloak.

Karati you have to be the biggest Idiot I've ever seen. If you knew ANYTHING about eq you'd know that haste doesn't work with your little 3rd grade formula. The way haste works is that 100% haste corresponds to getting 2 attacks in the time it would take you to normally make 1 attack. so therefore, 100% haste would cut your weapons delay in half. If people would think before they start spewing garbage out of their mouths then maybe I wouldn't get so pissed at some of these posts.

Clues abound.
Unfortunately eq does not work in your level of physics.
This guy is not to far off on his posts..
Because. When a haste buff is cast it is effective against the persons egsisting delay. You can never attain 2 attacks at once. you will always have a delay min of 1.
And to you telling people they are morons.
Please grow up.. get used to not being right. or consider feeling the anguish of ignorance for the rest of your life.
As you might note.. I have attempted to offend you. Not to prove im cool and not to prove your uncool.. But to point out.. as you might be thinking now.. There is never a reason for it when your responding to a post.

100% haste would cut the delay of a weapon in half. 100% haste means 100% faster attacks, which is twice as many...so the 28dly weapon becomes a 14dly weapon.

Formula for figuring new delay of weapon after haste.

(60 / (( 60 / ((dly / 10) x 1.xx ))) x 10 = new dly.

XX is the haste percentage in decimal. so if 50% haste you'd multiply by 1.5 if 100% by 2.

Nathus, sweetpea, I'm no rocket scientist but I think if I use your calculation my delay gets worse.

What's wrong with a simiple Dly/1.xx?

Strength of Grodan = delay of 51
Runebranded Girdle = haste of 27%

So 51/1.27 = new delay of 40

#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 05 2002 at 12:14 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Okay, I did your equation using a Wurmslayer as the weapon (delay 40) and an FBSS (haste = 21%)... so the equation would read:

This is without doubt a fantastic item for a Paladin. Who's as Pious as a Paladin, depending on whether you role play or not. Unfortunately, greed is the most common characteristic encountered. To all those Paladins out there - greed will turn you to the dark side!! - - on a serious note, equipment of this ilk is best given to the most deserving character in the group, who ever that is.... In my humble opion anyway..
what do you do when no one knows who should get it?

Consider who benefits the most
# Jul 28 2001 at 11:34 AM Rating: Decent
I see alot of posts that people make saying an item should be able to go to all that are listed as using it. I agree in this only when everyone that benefits the most from the item has equal or better.

This item benefits rangers,sk's and paladins more than any other class. The combination of haste,int/wis,str and location mean that they can add some ac and some int/wis to a very nice haste item. Hybrid classes have a hard time finding gear that will allow them to maximize ac and still broaden their mana pool.

Yes all classes can be considered for this item, but if you have a paladin with an fbss and you give this to a wizard then something is wrong. It is simply a matter of who benefits the most from it, and by giving stuff to those who can use it to maximum effectiveness you are thereby increasing the overall strength of your guild.
Haste vs. Caster Stats
# Jul 22 2001 at 7:34 PM Rating: Good
26 posts
You can get WIS, INT, and mana in a lot of different slots, a lot of different ways. You can have many items in may slots with WIS/INT/Mana and they will all add together. However, you can only have 1 haste item contribute towards your overall haste. For that reason, haste is more valuable than wisdom, int, or mana. You can have two 6 wis ring to make up for not having this cloak. You cannot have two 13% haste items to make up for the haste on this cloak, because two 13% haste items only give you 13% haste, not 26%. That is why haste is always more important than any other stat on any item, and it is why haste items go to melees first.
Tough Call
# Jul 17 2001 at 12:51 PM Rating: Default
People say this isn't Caster loot, and that tanks deserve this... well, lol, obviously the tanks are saying they deserve this simply because they ARE TANKS.

As a Druid, I am only level 36, and I have stopped meleeing about 20 levels ago. You are right, the haste is totally worthless for me. In case you guys haven't looked around though, their definately is NOT ALOT of + Wis items that fit on the back slot, and definately not any that drop that can compete with a +12 Wis.

I am not saying the Tanks should not get this, however... Druids, Shamies and Clerics and probably (speaking hypothetically, because I don't know much about Pure-Casters) any Pure Caster would benefit from having this item on their back just as any tank would.

We should have a right to have our fair shot at it too. Just plug in a search here for +Wis items that a Druid can use. This is the number 2 item, beaten only by a Cloak... that gives more AC and only +5 to Wis.

Agreeed, as a lvl 53 mage the best cloak i have got my hands on is a Cloak of the Ry'Gorr oracles with 2int and 10mana. I dont do much loot hunting but if i was in a group and this dropped and they said I should not roll and to let a pally loot would tick me off. With the +10 more int i would get from this cloak i could scrap my +8int necklace and get a +65mana +65hp necklace, or many other items.. This cloak is AWESOME for ANY class, I dont think its class specific in any way and should be rolled by anyone that helped kill it with no pressure to eliminate a roller for increased odds.
Caster loot
# Jul 07 2001 at 1:12 AM Rating: Default
I'm not saying that I think this is caster loot, but that my server generally considers it caster loot. By the time anyone's on trakanon, YES they have pretty damn good gear. SO: we assume that everyone has GOOD gear on this raid. tanks all have dragon haste items (rbb, CoF). and all the casters have 200+ wis/int. this item would get defaulted to casters BECAUSE if frees up other slots to do more things. very few back slot items reach 12 wis/int (aegis of life/lodizal takes 2nd at 10 wis, I think, could be wrong) plus this adds nice resists. to a tank, it mearly is the same haste, with slightly better resists and str. so, even though haste is MOSTLY useless to casters (I melee as a cleric, and with a theurgist, Meleeing clerics could use haste) they do get more end game use from this item than tanks. Hybrids are a different story. *Thinks this is a hybrid item*
RE: Caster loot
# Nov 29 2001 at 11:53 PM Rating: Decent
I'm sorry but CoF and RBB don't drop enough for every high lvl tank to have one. The haste on this would be worth the trade in for a lot of tanks that would fight Trakanon. Not saying you couldn't maybe use the stats on a cleric or other class but a tank would know if they needed this when it droped and more often than not they would. And a lot of time the resists on an item like this are put to more use on a tank not to mention the ac. Although I mention resists without ever haveing been to ToV or Sleepers Tomb myself. I could see everyone useing the resists vs dragons but not a lot else if the tanks are doing thier jobs right.

If you truly are that ignorant in the who should get this item respect then YOU should delete your char. Not all people can reach quite 200 wis/int by 50, thye may be a few points off and the haste is very usefull for druids and shamans who solo. With the meleeing at the end they need to be able to finish mobs quick. I speak from what my friends have told me, and you can ask any higher end druid/shaman about it.
Haste
# Jun 22 2001 at 11:23 AM Rating: Decent
Hmm, from what i have gleemed , this item at 34% haste is the second best Haste item in the game.
For all u non-melee types that rant that high lvl melee are prob maxed at haste, let me correct you.
Haste items DO NOT stack. one haste item will stack with one haste spell only. I do not know of any Tanks that can cast a Haste spell.
The platinum value of this item for the haste alone will far out distance what a caster will pay for wis & int. I think!
So i agree with the earlier posts, that a guild leader Or Raid leader will seriously roll this item out to the Tanks. If not, Wow , i would really question the logic for one, my availability for the next raid, this person leads.
Not a flame, just my 2 cents worth.
(ps I would be choked if casters rolled on this item, assuming there were some drops better suited for them.)
I believe strongly in reward for risk, so if an uber caster item drops & this item. The casters will roll on the other item & the Tanks on the Cloak. Simple. If no caster item, well risk for reward. Let the dice roll as they may.

ok..
# Jun 16 2001 at 1:21 AM Rating: Default
well, what about a human caster? i know a lvl 58 Human Wizard with 184 INT so id say this might be good for human int casters, or any other caster with less than 200INT, as for the haste, most tanks high enough to get this prolly already have the haste cap
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 15 2001 at 5:59 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Sorry to all the low level people who only dream of fighting trak one day but you will not get to random on this. Loot at this level is AWARDED OUT by a competant guild leader. Any guild leader with the right mind would hand this out to a tank.
Tanks Only? I think not!
# Jun 06 2001 at 1:26 AM Rating: Default
Sorry to burst your bubble, but tanks aren't the only ones who want good resistance. Oh, and the fact that it has 12 intelligence frees up some jewelry for more resistance gear for big raids. Tell ya what...I won't tell ya how to play your tank, if you don'ttell me how to play my cast -- Deal?

Don't forget that haste has a maximum anyway...so once you reach 75%, this item becomes a lot less valuable to a tank =P So take the roll and suck it up!

p.s. - I am tired, so despite the way this post may be taken, it was not meant to be a flame.

You obviously are forgetting a few things here.

1: above 200 int, 1 int gives you 1 mana.
2: priests get no double attack. no dual wield either of course.
3: not every player 50+ has dragon level haste.
4: i'm laughing really hard on the monk cloak and SK belt comments

Haste! no drop! and weight of 1.5 and all that bad...true it isnt quite the epic but not every one gets to play 5 hours a day so the epic is not something i realy want to work at right now. thats just my 2 cents - this cloak is decent for more then just hybrids. oh and as for as str goes yeah casters need it too...trying carrying sruff with a 60 or what ever casters have for str. i am sure any caster would love to carry 12 more pounds. so how about we just leave it at this robe is for good for all that are in need of the stats. so every quit your whinning.

This IS a caster cloak. I don't mean that warriors, rogues and monks should be ruled out of consideration, but the stats are there to be used WITH the Haste. Maybe Rangers, Paladins and Shadowknights should have first shot at it, but if those classes at the raid have as good or better from any item or even a COMBINATION of items, then the chance should be open to everyone. I have a Druid that would have a ton of fun with this thing.

Comes off Trak eh? lemme think bout this.. Hell of alot of haste items.. with pretty much same hastes as this.. some are easier to get.. ALOT easier.. Trak drops every body's BP.. and a nice robe..
Damn.. I think he covered everybody with his other drops..
Lets see Hybrids could make complete use of this.. Oh.. so can them pesky casters..
Basically I say this.. if you have a 35% or greater haste.. Dont roll on this.. wow.. look at all the melee who have high haste already..
ONE other thing to note.. it is NO DROP
which means if you get another haste item that you prefer.. are you gonna stop using this.. and bank it??? damn.. that necro would have loved it.. just too bad it's a bank Trophy now :(

This ROCKS for casters, especially when its a BACK slot. I would love to get this for my Dark Elf necro, because (1)+12 damn int is alot. (2)Darkelfs are so incredably weak, they need all the STR boasts they can get, and 12 is great. I have no need for the fire resist ;) But the magic resist is great too, especially for when your dueling those damn wizzies in arena, and they keep stunning you and enthralling you. This is a gift from god for my, and most anyones dark elf necros ;) ...and casters too ;)

I dissagre. Once again I think that just because an item has haste, doesn't mean casters should get ruled out. 12 int and str is great for any caster, and its even better on sk/pallies, but I am sure some monk will say it's a "monk item". There are alot of items that have haste now, if you are in the high lvl ranges, and alot of items with high int, so I'd say its pretty even between casters and melee classes saying they want it.

This item should be based on NEED BEFORE GREED. Just because someone is high level doesn't mean that they are all equipped in Uber gear. Some people aren't in a Huge guild that can take the time to twink out all their members.
To assume all high levels are either majorly equipped or stupid /lame for not being that way is asinine. All classes think this item should be rolled for by JUST them, and several can make a legitimate case for this item.
