HASTE: worst %60 aura or am I missing something?

In my current build I can reserve auras upto %130 raw mana reserved. Hatred is %60, so that leaves me with %70 for either Herald of Ash + one Purity, or another %60 aura.

Among the ones I checked Haste is by far the worst addition. And this is with a build that directly scales with faster attack speed. DPS addition from max level haste is just on par with Herald of Ash minus burn damage, meaning HoA is still better with %35 less reserve.

No matter how I look at it I simply can not justify using haste for any build unless I have a shavrones build that can run ALL auras anyway.

Am I missing something or is this aura grossly underpowered?

only run haste if you're an aurabot because then the boost is quite substantial

its ok for summoners if you can afford it

For spellcasters, it's much nicer, since you don't really need much else.

My EK casters uses that, amongst others.

I see the point about summoners, but isnt it better to run Anger/Wrath as summoner? Maybe move speed makes it work, not sure.

I also have an EK caster, and haste is the most inefficient aura for it. If you are using that over hatred, HoA or even HoI; you are simply shooting yourself on the foot.

So in conclusion is haste a summoner specific aura, just like vitality beig RF and summoner specific?

It all comes down to your build. For a SRS summoner Haste is the most vital aura. You benefit from every single mod of it.
You RS have a duration, so it is very important that they reach their destination as fast as possible, so the movement speed is somehow crucial. It's also a nice have for yourself.
Due to the attack speed increase they can dish out more attacks while they are alive. There is a synergy between those things, rendering the time where your RS don't deal damage to a minimun.
And since you want to have as many RS as possible alive at the same time you highly benefit from that increased cast speed.

It's not either/or. I use all of them :D

Clarity 22 / Hatred 22 / Haste 22 / Herald of Ash / Arctic Armour.

I don't think it's the worst but I think it's far from the worst or best. It's pretty mediocre, unless you're running an elemental build (because then the ias is insane with aura node scaling).

I think that the attack/cast/movement speed are all very moderately balanced. It's nothing too particularly good or bad.

haste helps my FP, and I like the runspeed.

if other auras worked better I'd be in but they dont
and im not.

It's pretty cool if you have the space for it but most builds don't really bother.
