    Flash Haste vs Enmity

    Just looking for some opinions, I just started re-doing all my macros, and im kinda stuck on my flash setup.
    Aegis 7 enmity vs Turban 5 haste
    I.R. Dastanas 4 enmity vs Dusk Gloves 3 haste (oddly enough im 4/5 homam and only missing hands.. bastard wont drop)
    Warwolf Belt 3 enmity vs Swift 4 haste
    Gallant breeches 2 enmity (all i got :/) vs Homam pants 3 haste
    Askar Gambieras 2 enmity vs Homam Gambieras 3 haste

    18 enmity vs 18 haste overall

    all out enmity? all out haste? mix and match?

    *edit - now that im looking at it, im thinking max haste would be better when stacked with march/haste, you would get off more flashes to overcome the 18% boost in enmity... but would still like some opinions from other plds.

    Depends on support.

    edit: Shit's situational. Depending on whether you're getting double march+haste, you can drop some haste gear. I'd never swap out Homam legs for anything, since FC brings it to a total of 5% haste. Turban swap for full time Aegishjalmr is something I'd do in a heartbeat, as soon as I get the fucking thing.

    Full haste gear will get you to the Enmity cap faster than full Enmity gear will.

    Use full haste for Flash

    Use full Enmity for Cures

    If you don't want to blink gear, mix'em.

    Re: Flash Haste vs Enmity

    From personal experience 15% + Double march + Haste = capped flash recast (probably less but this is just what i use)

    My setup is 25 enmity (26 when i get my last enmity merit ><) + 15% haste on flash and utsu:ni

    Macuhuitl+1
    Koenig Shield
    Rosenbogen
    Walmart turban
    Parade Gorget
    Loquacious
    Ethereal
    Valor Surcoat
    Homam Hands
    Hercules
    Bomb Queen ring
    Valor cape
    swift belt
    Homam Legs
    Askar Feet

    I know it's not the best setup. But with dual march and haste and the 2 "enhances fast casts", I still cap recast, and keep a decent amount of enmity gear on. I would like to get a hades earring +1 to swap in place of ethereal when shadows are up but i'm poor atm so that won't happen. Could also use a harmonia's torque but i'm in the process of runnin through einherjar a lot so will probably get ritter gorget instead. My preference is to cap out the recast on lash first. Then worry about enmity. If you go all out enmity. instead of capping. You're only casting flash once. as opposed to 2 times in the time you're casting with enmity.

    I always favoured haste for flash and general tanking. I don't like blinking in and out (nothing to do with WHMs curing, I just don't like my character blinking all the time).

    Also means you already have haste gear on for shadow casting. Although if you are getting double march and haste, put some enmity gear on.

    Use haste for Flash. You'll be able to reach the hate cap much quicker that way and maintain it.
