my point was that SE has made it easy to get near capped haste while still freeing up the hands and feet slots (intended for Assassin's Armlets and Raider's Poulaines). Also, in my opinion getting that last 1~3% haste isn't always worth sacrificing a gear slot. ie: Abyssea where stacking crit dmg+ will put out more damage since 95% of your hits will be critical.
Current TP set:
wasn't trying to be an *** or anything. just run into way~ too many people screaming "moar haste plz!" and wearing like 29% haste etc. >__>
