WoW Cataclysm: Further changes on Patch 4.2 PTR to consider for Priest
by Dawn Moore   It's been another exciting week for healing priests who have their sight focused on patch 4.2 and the next raiding tier. First, Blizzard announced that it was going to go ahead with its plan to change how critical heals worked. Previously, Ghostcrawler (lead systems designer) explained that the developers were looking to increase the value of crit for healers, since ...more»

WoW Cataclysm: Haste Issue Causing Ability Errors
Originally Posted by Bashiok (Source) 2/9- The Haste issue should now be resolved as of a hotfix that was applied late last night.

This bug will manifest itself in the UI showing ...more»

WoW Cataclysm Beta: Warrior Haste
The actual explanation is that haste (in Cataclysm) gives melee more resources, and all of our melee (though Ret still the least) can often do more when they have more resources. To use your warlock comparison, the lock can cast faster (i.e. "do more") with more haste. Warriors already have that, because haste gives them more rage, which lets them ...more»

WoW Cataclysm Beta: Paladin Haste/Crit/Overhealing in Cataclysm
That's an interesting perspective. Typically LK paladins tell us that they like haste because it lets them get a heal out *right now* before a tank dies, but don't like crit because it often overheals. To use a tired cliche, it did feel a lot like Whack-a-mole because you needed to heal ASAP but how hard you healed someone wasn't ...more»

WoW Cataclysm Beta: Paladin Stacking haste for fast Templar Verdicts
If hitting TV after 23 seconds qualifies as burst, then I think we'll be fine. Yes, once in awhile a Ret might get off a 32K Templar's Verdict, but that's not going to global anyone. Haste for most melee grants them more resources. Ret still isn't super dependent on mana though. It will be limiting enough that you can't spam ...more»

WoW Cataclysm Paladin: Haste effect on Seal of Vengeance and Judgement of the Wise

WoW Cataclysm Paladin: Haste effect on Seal of Vengeance and Judgement of the Wise
Excellent question. It isn't a talent, but Seal of Truth (Seal of Vengeance) will tick faster with haste and Judgement of the Wise's periodic mana energize will tick faster with haste. A Ret paladin with enough haste might have enough mana to throw out the occasional Consecration, while a fresh 85 might not be able to afford it often. (Source) ...more»

WoW: Spell haste in Cataclysm
We're not getting rid of spell haste and I agree it's fun to get quick spells. I was talking more about the PvP environment (and to a lesser extent PvE) where the balance has shifted too heavily towards very fast or instant spells that leave the other side with no chance to predict, react or attempt to counter what you're going ...more»

WoW Cataclysm: Casters and haste

WoW Cataclysm: Casters and haste
Casters cast too quickly. Haste has just gotten a bit out of control, which is partially the fault of overly generous talents and partially other stats on gear not being as attractive. Fear of being interrupted or needing to move has just led to too much reliance on very fast or instant spells, which are very difficult to counter. We ...more»

WoW Cataclysm: Haste / Attack Speed Bonus
Yeah, it went from "melee haste" (which needed a modifier to distinguish it from spell haste) to just "melee attack speed." At this point it's probably safe to just call it "attack speed" since that sounds like weapons (melee and ranged) and not spells. (Source) ...more»
