Interesting change in regards to haste.

Hey guys, hope all is going well in Icecrown, I’m back on Mal’Ganis under the name of Failboat at the moment.

“Haste in Cataclysm
Haste will basically remain the same for casters. It is changing for melee classes, however. Haste will also allow melee classes to recover their resources more quickly, effectively letting them hit their buttons more often.”

Now, considering he uses the word also in his wording, this would mean that not only will we be swinging faster, but energy regen will also be increased. This sounds amazing, almost too good and I don’t see this change going live without an update to how haste mechanics affect casters. Now if this simply means that haste will no longer increase our melee speed and simply increase our energy regen I’m not sure how I’d feel about the change and it could even imply a nerf to haste. Until we know how much energy regen per point of haste we receive, it’s all speculation but still an interesting change to one of our higher valued stats.
