What Haste cloak/belt combination for RNG?

[Legidias]

Increasing your DPS by 0.01 vs 34% overall increase makes the small str addition meaningless in comparison.

Obviously, its best to have both, but if you have to choose, haste > stats.

Go parse it I guarantee 4 str isn’t .01% increase what if I told you 6 str = 1% haste

Hmm so
4 str slightly increases dmg and average hit
4 dex slightly increases proc rate
4 sta gives roughly 20hp
4 wis will give roughly 20 mana

This shit adds up

Lol. Tell me more about how this game works, 2018.

Your gonna easily max haste in a group with a shaman/ench but not stats until a later level, like you said it’s better to have both.

[Wallicker]

Not to mention if you’re twinking a ranger then you’re gonna want to tank and ranger will have no issue with holding aggro regardless. Really we arguing over an extremely small margin of gear and a difference in maybe 20k in gear for OPs ranger twink love it lol

Not new year yet in Neriak?

[Cecily]

What.. what year is it?

Imagine if this community were as roleplay-centric as it is min/max. There would probably still be the same amount of petty squabbling and end game peacocking, but at least petitions would be more entertaining for staff to read.

Belt has good enough stats to wear even if it had no haste.

34% vs 36% haste is a remarkably small difference. 1% difference in dps assuming you weren’t at the haste cap already.

That means instead of doing 50 dps you’d do 50.5 dps.

Wow ... totally worth the tens of thousands of pp in cost difference! (??)

Best absolute value for haste are the low hastes but you reach a point where it’s your weak spot to upgrade and sirens belt is a bargain compared to some of the others looking at the total package. Cloak of Flames? Sure it’s better but unless you’ve already got solid gear literally everywhere else and the best buyable weapons it’s not exactly a wise financial buy. Your cash is better spent elsewhere.

I’m honestly surprise the value of CoF hasn’t tanked more since this belt hit the market. It’s just not worth that much by comparison.

Agreed with it being a waste. I think the smart thing to do is a 21 or 22% till the relatively easy epic. We’re talking about a ranger here, not a DPS class.
