A caster with the dagger, cloak and trinket: 283 spell haste = 18.03% casting speed increase.

For warlock which is most important imo because they don't have problem with mana and have problem with finding chance to cast, it reduces GCD to 1.23 sec, drain life/mana from 5sec to 4.1sec and fear to 1.03sec (or 1.07sec if it uses the 1.3sec cast as initial from the set bonus)

Switching weapons in combat uses a GCD.

Take a caster DPS type, take two weapons, write two macros as follows:

/equip Weapon 1
/cast Spell

/equip Weapon 2

Now tap the first macro, your weapon will equip and you will start casting, tap the second and the second weapon will equip. Research in the past has shown that the weapon equipped when the spell ends will generate the on-hit statistics for the spell, whereas the weapon equipped at start decides its haste benefits. IE, if weapon 1 is this dagger, and weapon 2 is a high +damage weapon, you can cheat haste and +damage together. The timing becomes slightly tricky, but it is entirely possible.

This is an interesting addition to the new PvP gear with haste on it and one that exemplifies the way Blizzard intends caster weapons to be as important as melee weapons. Pre BC, we saw caster weapons that were really just glorified offhands (the kind that had just +stats on them), and they didn't really get any significant spell damage on them until t2 and t3 content.

But with BC, weapons are a large portion of any caster's +damage and healing, giving perhaps a fourth of all the spell damage on a person's entire gear set.

Now we see with this a way to concentrate the spell haste and make it noticeably useful instead of just barely noticing it in token amounts.

Consider a (spell haste-obsessed) warlock with (among other things, too many high-end epics and gems and not enough sense to get reasonable spell damage gems instead):
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34230
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=37927
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34564 socketed with https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=35761
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34436 with a Quick Lionseye

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34364 with Quick Lionseye x3
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34339 (the healing helm because this is hypothetical) with Quick Lionseye x1 (there's no way you're getting an MSD in here with all these yellow gems)
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34359 with a Quick Lionseye
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=35327 x2 (two may be used)

That is 567 passive spell haste, and now add this dagger,
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=37739
and we have 794 passive spell haste, or 50.6% cast time speed increase at level 70.
Yes, a spell would cast in 2/3 the time (not half time, as one might expect, evidentally). That is not to say that the spell would hit very hard or not be resisted or that it would crit--but it would cast in 2/3 the time, and the GCD would be the minimum 1 second.

It'd be like casting with the old Mystical Skyfire Diamond (that performed a flat 50% cast time reduction) always procced at all times (without the flat modifier), and this passive haste would stack with Heroism and Power Infusion, giving the Warlock extremely fast-casting spells. In fact, with a https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=27683 active, the spell haste would nearly read "Increases the speed at which spells cast by 100%" which evidentally does not mean they cast instantly.

With the Warlock's new 10% Incinerate bonus on Emberstorm, Incinerate would certainly cast in about the time of a Searing Pain, or close to a second, or the minimum GCD time. Fear would be too fast for anyone to purposefully interrupt. And you know every warlock wants to Summon Dreadsteed faster, or Drain Life over a couple seconds or so. Shadow Bolt every 1.3 seconds could possibly be awesome (and run you out of mana twice as fast!), but you know you want to.

That is all in theory, of course--no warlock is foolish enough to do this nor able to obtain all the necessary elements of that set, but it will be possible for someone to have 50% passive spell haste with this blade.

think of how many mind flays you can get off with 50% reduced casting time not to mention there are also spells like heroism mana for everyone :D 2x shadow priests +1 arcane mage spamming arcane blast (no need for spell haste for mage) in 1 group with this haste they would never run out of mana with pots, OP in my opinion.

On another note, this weapon screams "test theorycraft with me".

As a mage , I have to say this dagger is very nice for situations where you slows enemy by Rank 1 frostbolt. A simple macro can be made when u cast Rank 1 It automatically switches to the weapon and afterward. Since it is rank 1 ur spell dmg does not matter anyways.

Of course that is from a mage's point of view. I am sure other classes can be also used in a very interesting way.

Cant wait to test it out! :)

Комментарий от 132010

Not for all classes, but some like T5+ elemental shamans weigh spell haste > spell dmg.

You might need a shadow priest to use the weapon, but it can be situationally incredibly strong.

For trash, where having multiple chain crits is not desirable, gearing up to lower crit adn dmg (initial threat) with the ability to rapidly make it up allows for controlled threat generation.

Who would get this weapon for trash though...

I definitely see use for this blade on some classes, mainly Disc priests. The more spells you cast that do not take your spell damage in account; for example mana burn, or drain mana, or fear, the better this blade will be for you. I think this will see a lot of usage in drain setups but for a normal DPS caster I still think the normal spellblade is far superior.

Комментарий от 118038

in theory if a shadowpriest can stay above 1400 spell dmg after enchating this weap with soulfrost and losing a normal weap with 200+ spell dmg it could be usefull in pve too i think

Комментарий от 166411

I would think this item would be best put to use on a situational basis. If your a lock or mage in a 5v5 team and your only job is to fear/sheep until one of the opponent is dead, you dont need spell damage. With this you could have faster fears and once you kill one of the opponents switch back in your spell damage weapon and start doing damage again. In 2v2 and even 3v3 I would think the loss in spell damage is too great but in a situational role in 5v5 it could be very useful

Комментарий от 77310

so I don't see this item in the vendor they might have removed it.

edit: scratch that it's supposed to be sold but it's not on any realms (gm confirmed)

Комментарий от 111427

Very instresting items for mage in pve aswell than pvp. In pve this blade would be great as Arcane spec. As you would gave a great amount of speed + Frozen veins. Making your dps alot higher than before. In pvp it can be used as mentioned before as an evocater thing, sounds kinda dumb but can be very usefull you will ofc only use it for that when you have way too many arena points. But still very instresting blade to try out if I have the chance to get up on that rating.

Комментарий от FinnrSlayer

Not sold by Arena Vendors until 2.4.3 Patch comes out with no switching weapons while casting. Asked GM and hes said it's not being sold for any server.

Комментарий от Santastrauss7000

This is a great weapon for many resto-druids. It's much better to have all 4 insta-hots quicker on target than to have extra healing from weapon.

Комментарий от 124081

Confirmed by a GM, that this weapon may be placed in the future but there is no guarantee that it will be.

Yo you #$%^ing retard, blizzard rounds to four significant digits so it would be 66.67%. Get your %^&* strait next time tardclown.

Well he did say 66.6~% which means he meant that the casting time would be AROUND 66.6% so you should learn to read before posting tbh.

Well, &*!muncher, maybe you should stop being an ignorant $%^&face. Its straight science. Why should i say youre around being a ^&*!@# when i can say precisely that youre a #$%^ head. No go be an inaccurate queef somewhere else, theory craft is serious business.
