Hey all! I have a question regarding haste mechanics as a BM hunter and, while it has probably been answered on this forum or another, I frankly do not have time to sift through thousands of pages and tens of thousands of posts. So, here it is:

How exactly does the haste mechanic work? Say I had 212 haste rating (Shivering Felspine, Hard Khorium Band, Cloak of Fiends...these three items are my current upgrades I am working on..I am 3rd on the sunmote list for the ring, cloak refuses to drop in my 45 ZA runs, and the felspine went to our ret pally above me for w/e reason). That rating makes a 56.27 haste %. I am not sure how that calculates into my attack speed, but I am using a crossbow of relentless strikes so my speed is 2.03 with no haste as a 41/20 BM. Here is My Armory -- hopefully I am not in pvp gear.

The reason I ask is because I currently use a 3:2 rotation macro (I started using a 1:1 long ago, then moved to a 3:2 while using bristleblitz and just stayed with a 3:2 when I got the xbow) and I know that at a certain speed (1.8 I believe) it turns into a 1:1. Rapid Shot + Bloodlust easily gets me to that speed, but while they are cooling down, my 3:2 works pretty well (it still is more dps than a 1:1). However, with all of that passive haste that I plan on stacking, I want to know what my attack speed will be because really anything lower than a 1.9 makes a 3:2 obsolete. With my t6 4-pc, a 3:2 is more damage than a 1:1 either way you look at it, so I want to shoot minimum of 1.95 and probably no lower until I get either the Black Bow of the Betrayer (I am the last hunter to get it sadly...darn 0-sum dkp) or either of the bows from Sunwell. Even with those, I will be at roughly a 2.1 attack speed with no haste, so again it is iffy. If it turns out that those items ARE too much haste, obviously I can leave the felspine alone and just go with my daggers of bad mojo for the armor pen until I get the SW dagger upgrades. Any info would be great, and if you want to talk to me in game, send a message to Fuldo on Vek'nilash US. Thanks in advance for all of your help!
