Actually what the heck is it? I've seen some items that have bonuses to "Spell Haste Rating". It doesn't show up on your character sheet.

Does this actually increase your casting speed for all spells, and by how much? Is there a cap? What do we know about this?

Well I'd assume that it would make you cast your spells faster...

...or decreases cast time. Take your pick. ;)

I'd love to know what's the to % rate on this spell haste you speak of?

Seen a couple trinkets with it, seems like a cool stat for healers.

At level 70, you'll need 15.8 points to gain a 1% reduction of cast time.

Q u o t e:

Does it do anything for channeled spells, ie make them tick faster therefore ending sooner? (Kind of a stretch, but I'm curious)

Only affects cast time.

Hmmm... re-reading what Tseric said, I could be wrong.

Hehe, reading what you said is making me doubt my words.

I could clarify, but the people I would talk to are out for the weekend. I'll keep this in mind and see if I can get final word next week.

...or you could just argue it out to your satisfaction. :P
