What is the haste cap you talk about?

How much does a faster weapon increase your damage?

Isn't auto shot not affected by special attacks?

Steady Shot is a 2.0s attack speed. To fit a SS into one 1.5s GCD you need to achieve 25% haste. Factoring in the 15% haste you get from the quiver (and in 3.1, which you'll automatically receive from Auto Shot), you still need ~16% haste to drop SS cast time below 1.5.

2.0 / (1.15 * 1.16) < 1.5

1% haste = 32.8 rating, so you'll need ~525 haste rating. You can get some of this from gear, and some from Improved Aspect of the Hawk (3% per talent point, and add 6% if you use the Glyph).

You CAN gear for 525 Haste Rating, but you can glyph and talent to alleviate the need for it and wear better gear. There is a good post about it here:

Wow thanks a lot Salty I didn't know this a lot.

I used to be BM and heard that haste was useless and now I see why. Right now I'm SV so this really helps a lot.

Thanks buddy!

I meant "at all" not "a lot"
