Haste (Status Effect)
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
Description
Haste is a beneficial status effect that increases a character's speed until it wears off or is removed. Benefiting characters experience reduced weapon delay and magic recast timers.
Haste is the direct counterpart to Slow.
March is a similar Song effect bestowed by Bards. It provides the same types of benefits as Haste, and can also be combined with Haste.
Notes
- Haste is calculated as a percentage reduction in weapon delay and magic recast time. That is, with 50% Haste, attacks rounds will occur twice as often. With 66% Haste, attack rounds will occur 3 times as fast.
- Example: a weapon with a delay of 509 normally takes ~8.48 seconds before an attack can be initiated. With +50% Haste, this delay would be treated as 254.5, or ~4.24 seconds of wait before the next attack would occur.
- Example: The White Magic spell Raise has a base recast time of 60 seconds. With +50% Haste, the recast time drops to 30 seconds.
- Haste effects, despite reducing weapon delay, does not reduce TP gained per hit. As a result, Haste accelerates TP gain over time by making hits more frequent but keeping TP/hit the same.
- Haste gained from Equipment (including Catastrophe) caps at 25%.
- Haste gained from Magical Effects caps at approximately 43.75%.
- Haste gained from Job Abilities offically caps at 25%.
- Job Ability Haste does not affect spell recast timers.
- Recast time reduction from any source is capped at 50%.
- The absolute cap of total combined Haste is approximately 80%.
How to remove the effect
- This effect can be removed manually.
- This effect can be dispelled.
- Certain sources of Slow have higher priority and can replace and negate Haste effects entirely. (E.g. Slow effects from Spider ability Spider Web, or the spell Slow II.)
