Notes on Status Effect
Haste increases attack speed, and reduces casting/recasting times by a percentage that differs according to its source. The Haste spell, for example, has a value of 15%. Using a 480-delay weapon (8 seconds per round) with the effect of Haste would change the attack speed to 85% of 480, or 408 (6.8 seconds per round).
The effect stacks, but there are some restrictions and caps: Equipment has its own cap on the amount of Haste you can gain; it caps at 25%. Beyond this value, more can be added, but it will have no effect. Magic haste caps at 43.3% (seems an odd number, but it has been verified). A 75 Bard with capped singing skill using Soul Voice can sing the two March songs to reach 40%, but adding Haste on top of that only increases the value to 43.3%. Job abilities have their own cap as well, or rather, they are not restricted by the equipment or magic caps. a 75 DRK/SAM (for Hasso) with 3 levels of Desperate Blows merited, wielding Apocalypse (for Catastrophe) can reach 93.3% attack delay reduction.
Removal of Status
The spell and ability effect can be cancelled; songs must be overwritten or expired.
