How does haste work? Thanks

Can someone explain to me how haste works? My Demo warlock has 29% haste and my shadowbolt is a 1.6 second cast? My understanding was base cast multiplied by haste (2 X 0.71) but that would be 1.42 seconds. What am I missing?

Thanks

Haste make spell go fast

You divide it actually (2/1.29), which gives you 1.55 sec rounded up to 1.6). Haste doesn’t mean you cast (x) % faster, it means you can fit (x)% more spells in a given time frame- in your case, if you were to spam Shadowbolt for a while with 29% haste, you would end up with 29% more Shadowbolts than at 0% haste. So in order to reduce a 2-second cast time to 1 second, you would need 100% haste- i.e. 100% more spells fit into the same window.

You arent yet at 30 though sk it shouldn’t be giving goofy results.
