Heya,
I like the idea, and I can gladly duplicate the current sets of gear, take off the haste, and buff the attack power/spell power. That would include weapons, so people have a more useful alternative. For now though, there's no real way to get this done immediately but I can do it without trouble.
People are pissed about the lack of haste procs because they either don't know about the haste that was put on weapons, or they've been stacking with two different items to get haste capped. Regardless of the attitude towards haste procs, the resting haste is much safer to use for druids, and has no detrimental effects on any classes.
As always: thank you for your ideas and comments. Your opinions are taken into consideration. Eternian loves you.
