Can someone please clarify, what exactly % spell haste is?

Is it from Haste, or Spellpower? Or a mixture of both?

Haste is one thing, Spellpower's another. Either way, knowing what to gem would be nice. I'm playing around with making a haste Disc priest that can cast Smite twice a second (okay.. twice every 1.5 seconds) and keep a decent main tank up purely by attacking, Prayer of Mending/Healing and the occasional Shield/Penance if things get real hairy for DPS.

Just wanna know one way or the other. Because this could turn a smite from 1.5 sec to 0.3 (not exactly stacking haste gems at present, but my priest's a JC)

Any knowledge, would be nice.

Channeled spells (or at least Penance) currently don't consume this buff, but still benefit from it. For example, cast PW:S to get the Borrowed Time buff and you can then cast a hasted penance AND whatever your next spell is.

EDIT: Turns out Renew doesn't consume this either, allowing you to get 3 hasted spells per proc, or 5s worth of hasted Renews on your group/raid if you prefer. Note that a Renew hasted with this proc gains an extra tic (from 4-5) with your standard lvl 85 blue gear.

EDIT 2: Not sure if haste interacts with over time spells like that now, giving them extra tics...

This have 6 sec cooldown. Even the tooltip doesn't says.

Does this spell also work on ressin? I mean, it would be pritty nice in 2v2 arenes and one of each team got killed and the last one need to drink or something so the disc priest had time time to ress

Am I the only one to have noticed that Borrowed Time has only 2 ranks?

Borrowed Time grants 7/14% spell haste, never 15%.

Yes, you are commenting on a talent rank that does not exist!

The tendency of people to automatically comment on the highest available rank of a talent, regardless of its existence or otherwise in-game, is hereby proven ;)

Comment by Bogdanov89

This talent completely depends on how much Haste (spell haste) you have through your gear/talents/buffs.

On my level 77 Priest (who has very low Haste) this buff gives me about 0.1 second faster casting speed (maxed talent points) - which is very very weak.

Unless you have at least mediocre amounts of Haste (haste is rather rare during leveling) do not bother picking this talent.

However, for end-game (max level) Priests this talent is very good...

Comment by Kanariya

Borrowed Time now reduces the cast or channel time of the next Priest spell by 15% after casting Power Word: Shield (was 15% spell haste).

Though it is essentially still the same, this stops Mages who Spellsteal the buff from benefiting from it.

Speeds up running NPC's as well. Very useful for your incidental escort quest.
