Game Mechanics: Combat ability UI buttons reuse time not reduced by item haste

[Technique]

Rogue backstab dps up to ~29% less than it should be due to this issue.

Are you suggesting Backstab (or any other Melee special) should have its reuse time reduced by worn haste items?

It is already by buff haste. So either that's the bug or this is.

Hrmm I may be wrong... More evidence needed.

Haste does affect backstab refresh (as does slow, as you have noticed).

Currently with a 36% haste augment and Speed of Salik, mine refreshes roughly every six seconds. It takes up to a second longer if I have a lesser haste spell on me.

If I use the Frenzied Stabbing discipline, which is a haste discipline, the time for my backstab button to refresh is cut down to approximately 3 seconds.

Without any haste a backstab is 10 seconds
With worn haste of 45% it goes down to just above 7 seconds, maybe 7.25 or something
I think with added spell haste and overhaste the fastest it can get is ~6 seconds
Strange. I always thought that backstab speed was directly proportional to speed increases with standard haste. Aka 10sec normally, 5sec at 100% haste and ~4sec w/ bardiebard

Need some in era posts though. Discipline / stamina->endurance changes may have changed this.
