I believe you want to aim for 20% haste
I haven’t seen anything anywhere about a cap. Anyone have a site they can reference?
All the secondaries are pretty equal. I heard 23% haste and you can get an extra pyroblast in combustion. But stacking that much Probably not a good idea this early and with this few stats on gear.
There is no cap per say…it’s just a breakpoint
When I reach 20% haste raidbot tells me to get crit instead of haste. This is probably cuz of combustion converting crit into mastery when its active.

You want Haste, Vers as your main stats and once you get your haste up start stacking crit
It’s fevered incantation that pushes it over the edge and makes it our 2nd best stat (best in a lot of cases). Without FI, crit will usually sim the worst regardless of secondary benefits we have from it. I made the mistake of simming my stats without FI’s effect when I was crafting it and picked the wrong stats.
I thought this as well but I hit the mage discord and this is generally believed to NOT be recommended as the real benefit to FI comes from Combustion where we have no crit issues.
Still have to sim to know for sure but the haste=crit with FI is a misleading note on the WoWhead guide.
I can only speak for myself, crit has always simmed higher than mastery or vers for me since crafting FI. It could be a problem with the sims though. If that’s the case, at least it hasn’t been able to screw me over since my vault has only ever had one valid option every week.
Thankfully our secondaries sim close enough when our haste is in the low 20s that it won’t make or break anything until we’re able to start hitting the 30% DR thresholds.
Not sure if anything has changed, but around two weeks ago Preheat recommended going Crit/Haste. I’m inclined to listen to him even though intuitively it doesn’t seem like FI would change Crit’s stat weight that much.
To answer OP, I think it depends on breakpoints more so than a cap. If you reach a Haste value that let’s you squeeze an extra Pyro in Combust, then you’ve hit a breakpoint and adding small amounts of Haste won’t help as much. But 30% is when diminishing returns kicks in for secondary stats, and 19.5-21.5% Haste seems like a good range based on my experience so far.

Around 21-22% no longer reduces the speed of your GCD. You can keep stacking it after that, but your DPS returns for each point of haste falls off pretty dramatically.
