nusku's sash better for haste build?Follow

if anyone knows who haste or total delay gear is calculated please chim in. i was doing some math and it seems that nusku's sash might be better for total delay reduction.

af3+2 head = 6% haste 5% DW
neck 1% haste
body af1 5% DW
legs af3+2 7% haste
belt 7% haste twilight
legs af3+2 7% haste
feet af3+2 4% haste
ear sup 5% DW
35% DW job triat
so this is 25% haste
and 50% DW

on oriandori and kamome (just for fun) = 370 total delay. now this is 75% total ehancement to delay reduction witch i think 80% is the max. so if you do 370 x .050 (DW) = 185, 185 x .25 (haste) = 46.25 185 - 46.25 = (138.75 total delay)

but if you take out twilight belt and say used nusku's sash and used ocelot or dusk on the hands it brings haste to 20% and DW to 55% still a total of 75%, but the math total differently for this.

370 x .55 (DW) = 203.5 370 - 203.5 = 166.5 166.5 x .20 (haste) = 33.3 166.5 - 33.3 = (133.2 total delay)


unless se just calculates it as 370 x .75 = 277.5 370 - 277.5 = (92.5 total delay) in wich case it doesnt matter how you get your delay reduction, either from haste or DW.

now with that said since the total delay reduction is 80% wouldnt that mean from a haste spell (15% haste) you would only be gaining 5% haste? or would haste and brd songs still stack? if you already built up a 75% build.

Sort of right, sort of not. I believe you arrived at the correct "total delay" for your example, but to refer to 50% DW + 25% haste as "75% total enhancement" is incorrect. The numbers cannot be added.

You can use a variation of the formula Lytia gave above to find the total delay reduction, but without introducing an arbitrary and unnecessary example.

1 - (1-DW)*(1-Haste) = total delay reduction factor.

So, the correct value for "total enhancement" from 50% DW + 25% haste works out to 62.5% total delay reduction. If you add the effect of the haste spell to that, you get 70% total delay reduction.
