...and friendliness grows on trees it seems.
You didn't present any numbers to prove anything as well. You are just claiming to be right, congrats.
I only said I got the feeling that it scales better. I don't have a problem with people proving me wrong (which you didn't) - but in a sensible way pls.
Personally I value the IED with more than 17,5 MP5. Because this is based on a constant casting of 3 sec. casts. But the IED's mana is only important on spam fights anyway. And then I cast nearly every 2.5 secs - unhasted - which makes the IED worth 21 MP5 then.
So the IED is far better to begin with for situations where it counts imo.

Going with these numbers, I would be right even mathematically (X=extra haste speed):
IED: 21*1,3*1,X=27,3*1,X
BED: 26*1.X
So the IED would scale 5% better with haste than the BED. Ofc this is only based on my personal value for the IED's proc with 21 MP5 (on crucial situations, mind you).
Here are your numbers, happy? :P

Even if it shouldn't scale better mathematically, the IED is still the better gem for stacking haste imo. Because the more haste, the more mana needed.
