Just my two cents, my enchanter doesn't melee, period, so haste is unnecessary and his wisdom is sufficient as it is. But a little bit more CHA, INT, & AC always comes in handy. At higher levels, 50 mana isn't much more than a parlor trick.

Not to mention, Illusion Werewolf, and Swift Like The Wind can already put us at 100% haste boost, which I believe is the cap.

Course I'd still love one for the stats. Haste is nice (there are some tactics that work with a melee'ing enchanter), but I can do myself up pretty good as is.

Maximum Haste is 80%, not 100%... just so you know.

I think that Monks can have 100% Haste though... but I know everyone else is limited to 80%

It seems that verant is thinking the caster types should be meleeing more. i.e. This belt, some nice dam/dly weapons etc.
So come on casters!! Put down that book and beat up that dragon! He won't mind.... right?

Mocking us hybrid? Possible. but then when you stop to think (something not totaly common in this game ill grant you, but still). When you stop to think about it, most of the haste belts Ive seen have been all/all or so close it usualy dont make a differnce. And its been my experience that the caster go after those jsut as hard as those of us with the pointed sticks.

At least now they have their own special hastebelt then they might like more. this should allow us melee types an easier time getting the belts we want.

But then greed is rampart, so im probably jsut wishing here.

The real reason that casters want haste belts is to give them to their melee twinks.

Verrant is mocking us hybrids. This would just rock on a ranger/sk/paladin.

Accually, i think its more to go with things like the rod of anihilation and things of the like, with AWSOME melie stats for nukers.

Most days I just skip posts about item/class envy. But it DOES seem that Verant is thumbing their nose at the hybred/tank classes... Heck, any caster who would ever get use from haste is either a) Below l-12 or B) 3 seconds or less from LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...

I hate to jump in on this type of thread when more useful info would be where and from whom it drops ec... but....

Shaman DO melee a lot, even at high lvls. Throw in something like a Rune Etched Icewurm Fang at 12/19 and we can put out fairly decent damage (assuming skills are maintained).

More importantly for any of the classes that can wear this (and it IS nice for ANY of the classes), fairly nice AC AND WIS/INT/CHA (choose class) in the belt slot allows me to maintain 200+ wis, still have 900+ AC AND now I can use one of my other slots to change out some resist gear and/or more AC... you can never have too much AC, not matter what class you are.

Whee!

As an enchanter I'm drooling. Charisma, Int, and mana on a belt? Wow. Haste? Heh, an interesting effect for a caster item. Oddly enough many of the new items coming out seem to add to melee skills for casters. Maybe this is Verant's way of saying that we are getting old and out of shape by the time we turn 50!
