@Kaymoo:

I will worry about Druid nerfs when I actually see them in blue.

I am cautious about how hard people have been yelling about Druids because I’ve been a Druid since launch and I have seen how badly the community reacts to Druids and the nerfs and setbacks we’ve had because of it. (Or simply the fixes we’ve never gotten for the fear of making us OP)
I’m still not going to worry until I see it. I’m prepared to be pissed off, though.

Just wanted to agree with Kaera. Most of the spell-haste gear in BT comes at the expense of other stats like spirit and mp5. I already am constantly casting LB to keep up 4 stacks (or equivalent number of casts w/ rejuv and raid LBs) so mana regen is an issue for me (I somehow get the favored MT group which means – no spriest and no totems /sadpanda). If I stacked enough spell haste to reach 5 GCD, I’d lose a great deal of regen and yet be using more mana to keep up 5 stacks (or the equivalent number of raid casts). Doesn’t look so good to me.

That said, I do have haste gear stashed away “just in case”… Curse of the Packrat hits you for 80456.

The first table is the length of global cooldown needed to fit the y (5,6) number of spell within the x-value time given to keep lifebloom up (it’s 7 seconds, but Obviously, you won’t have perfect latency, ect). The second table is the same, except it lists spell haste needed instead.

GCD Needed:

Rotation Speed
Spells |7 6.9 6.8 6.7 6.6 6.5
|————————————————
5 |1.4 1.38 1.36 1.34 1.32 1.3
6 |1.17 1.15 1.13 1.12 1.1 1.08

Haste Needed:

Rotation Speed
Spells |7 6.9 6.8 6.7 6.6 6.5
|———————————————-
5 |113 137 162 188 215 242
6 |449 478 508 539 571 604

Hmm, those tables look so much nicer with tabs

The Eagle driven back around the tents
will be chased from there by other birds:
When the noise of cymbals, trumpets and bells
will restore the senses of the senseless lady.

Nice. Dont forget there is some jewelry. A neck from ZA and 2 rings with haste. Also the 1h from ZA as well. When I added it all up HT was under 2.5 seconds cast. If this means a full .5 secs off the GCD……daddy like!

Thanks Esarhaddon. I’m not sure when it went bad or which of the several changes I’ve made tonight have broken it, but I’m working hard to try to fix it.

Edit: After some very stressful troubleshooting, I think I narrowed it down to a plugin I installed earlier today to allow me to display links from my blogroll randomly. >.< I’ll be watching it tonight, just in case.
