125% haste formula

Hi All, I have a question regarding the application of haste. When reading the tool-tip on haste, it says it will cause my attacks to "occur 125% faster" at 200, this implies the diminishing return past 100 is ~.25 per 1%. This translates to 125% at 200. So my question is... if my formula is correct (weapon base speed/(1+125%) if I apply this to my 9 second bow, I get a value of 4 seconds, which is what my delay is on my character screen. But when I apply this to my 4 second melee weapons, I get a value of 1.8 seconds, but my weapon delay on my character screen is 2.4 seconds. Is there a cool-down or some different application/formula for melee that I am unaware of? Any clarity would be appreciated! Thanks!

 

that's odd, it shouldn't unless you are loosing some attack speed by equiping the 4 second weapon.

my SK has a 4 sec weapon, 136 haste, and the weapon shows from census at 1.9 seconds.

I do believe there is a min cap of 1 sec delay, but other then that it should be normal.

Hi Dedith,
Yeah, odd indeed. My formula works for your SK, so I know that it should work for my brig, but nay... /Support_ticket here I come! Thanks for confirming for me! Ask Jon about the auto-attack sheet I put together, in it you can see my haste is 379, my "raw delay" is 4 and "delay" is 2.4, all from census but the formula calculates it should be 1.8.
Thanks!
