Does Haste or Hatred give better DPS overall?

Yeah, vitality could be buffed close to 2% at lvl 20, atm it's as good as one of the 1.5% nodes so it feel underwhelming. Sure, it's good for a summonner because it affect more people but that doesn't mean it's not underpowered, I mean...what about stronger auras with a summoner? so that's no excuse.

As for haste, the dps increase is horrible! whatever the build...It should at least be changed to "more" instead of "increased". That or make it 40% mana reserved.

Well I solved my dilemma... spent a couple exalts on a very nice tri-res belt, ditched Purity, and now I can run both haste and hatred :)

almost up to 30k dps and the 50%+ run speed increase (30% move on my boots + buffed haste) is VERY nice for clearing maps

One of my constant dilemmas in this game is whether to run Wrath/Grace/Haste or Hatred/Anger.

I'm a LA evasion ranger with LGOH, and Haste just gives me a nice boost to survivability. I shoot faster, leaving less gaps--especially when I get stunned--for damage to do me in.

If I take off Haste and put Hatred, I can kill things faster, but I don't feel as safe. Maybe once I get a Lioneye's the difference due to the bow's attack speed will make up for it, and I can run an attack aura instead.

Also, there's a definite difference when it comes to casting things like totems. Just makes play a lot more fluid for me.
The attack speed gained from Haste is pathetic.
16% cast speed is nice, 16% attack speed is meh...

to be fair, with the aura passives it is a ~30-32% attack speed increase

Honestly I like it more for the move speed right now than anything else

Hatred > Haste.

Well Vitality is insane for summoners and nice for ZO chars (since they don't have access to many Life-Reg nodes without taking useless Life), if you already have tons of Life-Reg without being a RF-Char you propably don't need Vitality.

Vitality 1,6 regen = really poor aura, there are 1/1,5% regen nodes on the tree.
