	Item Haste is only one type of haste and may not be affordable at the beginning of your ~~melee / DPS~~ adventure through ~~everquest~~ but you should strive to obtain these pieces as you progress through the game.

	Haste increases the attack rate of a weapon and as a result will affect the dps rating of certain weapons differently depending on weapon delay and amount of haste stacked. Delay is measured in tenths of a second. IE a weapon with a delay of 20 would swing every 2 seconds.		Haste increases the attack rate of a weapon and as a result will affect the dps rating of certain weapons differently depending on weapon delay and amount of haste stacked. Delay is measured in tenths of a second. For example, a weapon with a delay of 24 would swing every 2.4 seconds.

	'''Important Note''' Haste affects all weapons by the same percentage, however the increase in dps output varies depending on the starting delay of the equipped weapon. (I'll dig up a few dps charts later to help people visualize the difference but the increase in dps output is essentially an exponential curve upward as haste increases.)

	~~===Important notes===~~

	* Celestial Tranquility (monk epic) grants "spell/song/clickie haste" and therefore will stack with "permanent item haste" effects, but will not stack with other "spell/song/clickie haste" effects.
	* The Monk Discipline 100 Fists (lvl 57) grants "Hundred Hands Effect" that will stack with all types of haste effects.
	* Melody/Composition of Ervaj grant v2 haste, and therefore stack with other types of haste. These songs do not allow you to exceed the haste cap.
