Ultenth I couldnt have said it better my self. And Wow 35 Ac is Pos? +10 str and +7 to all saves is Pos?! Wow Id say someone needs to get their priorities straight.
Oh yeah it has haste as well? Ok let me group with the other guy when it drops I know he wont roll on it.
Everyone keeps going on about how wonderful the haste is but in my opingion, that is NOT the most valuable quality of this belt, there are many items with comperable haste by the time you could aquire this belt, the AC (obviously) is quite nice too but to me, the 7 to all saves is what puts it over the top. For high-end zones such as ToV, VP, etc. you are dealing with alot of AoE mobs where saves are really important. Not to downplay the emmense value of AC but in such situations, the AC only benefits the MT most of the time while EVERYONE there needs to be concerned with the AoE thus saves become the overwhelmingly most valuable stat; it doesn't matter what kind of damage you are capable of dealing if you are killed in about 30secs cause every AoE hit you for its max damage... Between the excelent AC, high haste percentage, and the saves, this belt is among the most well rounded and overall valueable belts around, i cannot think of better offhand though there may well be better; then agian its possible that this is the best, that title has to be bestowed upon one belt or another hehe.

Just got one of these tonight, if you have any suggestions on a good parser and testing weapon (cheap) I can parse it. Odds are it's going to be end game haste ~36-41%.
... and yes, I'm a monk. I don't get the whole bash monk mentality here.

Posted:Oct 25 2001 at 12:31 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) it says the zone its found in, its not mob specific..wtf do you think drops it
People, plz stop telling everyone how good this belt is and say what is drops off...seriously, we can all see thats its good, you dont have to tell us.
Your damage will increase by a certain amount determined by your haste. You can calculate haste two different ways. Percent increase in Dmg OR percent decrease in Dly. They are seperate and calculated differently. You WILL attack more often, thus, doing +x% dmg over certain amount of time. People say FBSS is 21% haste...they are right. People say FBSS is 16% haste...they are correct. First is percent dmg increase...second is percent dly decrease.
Of course, its great for any melee class, and every one of those should get the roll, but it would be particularly sweet for a monk, because of the high AC (comparatively speaking) and the low weight.
Monk should go to Plane of Sky and get his/her class specific Haste belt from there. Done a coupla raids, and they lub dem., FYI, in the plane there are class spefic haste belts for all melee (dunno bout casters/healers)classes, always has been too. Did people just forget about the planes when the expansions came out?
All the belts that DROP in sky are 21% haste and pretty much not even worth the cost of the stone to fly up and get one, much less the time spent. There are belts that you can QUEST for in sky that give 41%, but other than the haste, they are pretty pathetic in terms of resists and hp.
The quest belts are also extremely hard to get. You need to clear sky completely many times to gather the key part you need.
On the topic of Windraiders, it's 40% haste and the lack of HP on it makes it one of the least desirable of the available 40%+ haste items. It's still a VERY nice belt, just not quite as nice as a few of the other available 41's. :)

For those unfamiliar, something that has a "Haste" effect is something that makes you faster, something that gives you a greater speed in one way or another. As far as EverQuest goes, Haste more accurately effects how fast you attack. The speed in which you attack is represented by your weapons "Delay" attribute (Del). Delay is measured in tenths of seconds. For instance, a weapon with a Delay of 20 would attack every two seconds. Likewise, a weapon with a Delay of 44 would attack every 4.4 seconds. Going by that system is not 100% accurate because there are many decimal values that are not taken into consideration (ie a Delay of 44 might actually be 44.013). Excluding these decimal values alters your results slightly, but usually only by a maximum of one or two tenths. It is a good system to use, but like I said, not 100% accurate.
A common misconception is that a Haste effect directly alters the Delay of your weapons, when in fact it doesn't. Haste is measured in Damage Increase, NOT Delay Decrease. An item or spell that adds a 40% Haste effect does NOT lower your weapons Delay by 40%, but rather increases the amount of Damage you do by 40% over a period of time. Another point of notice is that Item Haste and Spell Haste combine. For instance if you had a Spell cast on you that adds 20% Haste and an Item equipped that adds 17% Haste your total Haste would be 37%. This does not work in all cases because many Items and Spells have rescritctions where they will not stack with eachother.
Although Haste deals with Damage Increase and not Delay Decrease, you CAN calculate what your weapon Delay would be during the time period you are Hastened. In determining your weapon Delay with a given Haste percentage there are three steps. To illustrate these steps we will pretend that you are using a Fighting Baton (8 Dmg/20 Delay) with a Flowing Black Silk Sash equipped (21% Haste). The first step is to add 100 to the Haste percentage. In this case the result would be 121 (100 + 21 = 121). The second step is to divide that number (121) into 100. The result would be roughly .83 (100 / 121 = .83). The third and final step is to multiply the previous results (.83) by your weapon Delay (20). The result is 16.5 (20 * .83 = 16.5). We have now determined that a Fighting Batons 8/20 with 21% Haste become 8/17 (16.5) during the period of time that you are Hastened.
Here are a few examples of this method of determining haste effects.
[Delay 30 with 40% Haste] Step One - Add 100 to the Haste Percentage.
100 + 40 = 140
Step Two - Divide the previous result (140) into 100.
100 / 140 = .71
Step Three - Multiply the previous result (.71) by the weapon Delay.
71 * 30 = 21.3
Finished - A Delay of 30 with a 40% Haste becomes a Delay of 21.3.
[Delay 15 with 85% Haste] Step One - Add 100 to the Haste Percentage.
100 + 85 = 185
Step Two - Divide the previous result (185) into 100.
100 / 185 = .54 .54 * 15 = 8.1
Finished - A Delay of 15 with an 85% Haste becomes a Delay of 8.1.
[Delay 44 with 20% Haste] Step One - Add 100 to the Haste Percentage.
100 + 20 = 120
Step Two - Divide the previous result (120) into 100.
100 / 120 = .83
Step Three - Multiply the previous result (.83) by the weapon Delay.
.83 * 44 = 36.5
Finished - A Delay of 44 with a 20% Haste becomes a Delay of 36.5.

Posted:Aug 28 2001 at 10:29 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Who came up with that "damage increase, not delay reduction"? Could you be a *bit* more confusing please? Haste makes the weapons swing faster. It does not make the weapon do more damage per swing. How much faster? The number of swings per minute is increased by the haste percent. It swings as fast as a weapon with lower delay, but there are two reasons that you can't think of haste as delay reduction:

yeah, but i wanted to put up the detailed way haste works because SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many people think its % in decimal form of haste times delay, then delay minus that number like 21% haste on 100 delay weapon
