It’s a real big nerf from Dragonflight. To compound the problem, it’s early expansion so we have no secondary stats. At i571 I have 6% haste. So I’m already casting really slowly AND I’m generating half the maelstrom from 2 weeks ago.
Tempest is a pretty cool ability, and feels very satisfying to cast. But with Maelstrom generation this slow, I feel like I’m rarely getting to really use it. I’m sure that better Haste scaling will alleviate some of the friction, but right now I just feel a little Maelstrom starved.

Definitely feeling haste drought right now but think that be cured when season 1 kicks off and we can focus on gearing at end game.
Until then you’re right about the maelstrom generation. It’s slow which makes getting to tempest a little slower too. But when I hit ES now I feel like it’s actually hitting hard. Same with tempest.
As stormbringer/lightning build I plan to prioritize haste/crit. But really I feel like any combination of crit mastery with haste as highest stat is the way to go.
I really only pvp and do world stuff. Haste will be critical. Played comp stomp for the first time and it was actually a challenge lol

Sort of. Right now my 5000 haste is like 6%. So for even 20% haste, what I’d consider a pretty bare minimum for the spec to feel good to play, I need 17,500 haste? Yikes. Season 1 gear isn’t going to fix that brother. Eventually, yeah. The end of Season 2, maybe the beginning of Season 3?
That is a lot of hate to get and I agree 20% is around where it gets manageable
