Talk:Call of Haste

"notes does not list what the skill is useless for.. Also, you misunderstand attack speed" Watching an animal companion run from attacking a foe far on one side of me to attacking a foe far on the other side of me, I fail to note a decrease in time for the animal companion to run from one creature to the other. I was doing this with a warthog animal companion. Perhaps the increased attack speed is noticeable with a different creature? I don't know how fast the spider animal companion moves, but if it normally moves slower than a warthog then perhaps its increase in attack speed would actually be noticeable. Regardless what I said is still true for the second half of the skill description, "and move 25% faster than normal." When I use a speed increase to move 25% or 33% faster than normal, a warthog animal companion still trots along at the same distance behind me, right at the edge of the "bubble" around me on the minimap. I feel that it's important to point out that the skill seems to be superfluous in all respects (both attack speed and regular movement speed). If you'll let me know where these notes from my personal testing should go, I'll put them there instead of on the page for the skill description. -- Banaticus


 * Attack Speed means the rate of attack is increased, not the speed of moving to the enemy. So, the animal attacks more frequently. So, that dispells the first half. The second half is very hard to verify because pets are programmed to tarry about. It's the same as if you play with Devona and she uses "Charge!" but then tarried behind you (assume you are carrying an item like a master gear). She will dwaddle behind you not because "Charge!" doesn't work but because she is programmed to wait behind. --Karlos 20:04, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)

Is this broken? I don't notice any difference in attack speed or movement 22:57, 4 March 2006 (CST)
