Hi everyone! Do mutiple haste items, such as FBSS and gloves with haste enhancement, stack?

Thanks

No, you can get one haste item, one spell/song haste, and then theres certain bard songs that stack with spell haste.

This site has a pretty good list of haste items as well as a good explanation for haste and a list of haste spells and effects:
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Haste

Quote:
As a general rule, you may stack one each of Item Haste, Spell Haste and Song Haste. If you have multiple haste items, the highest one will determine your item haste. Spell haste is generally provided by an enchanter, but occasionally a shaman or a clicky item. Some haste bard songs also count as spell haste rather than song haste, and hence conflict with chanter/shammy buffs. In general, there is a cap of 100% Haste at level [65], but some bard songs can take you over that cap. Sometimes, if you have two different kinds of Spell-Type Haste, the buff icons will stack, but you only get the higher of the two haste components. This is especially true of Spell-Type bardsongs, like Jonthan's Whistling Warsong.

What's not really clear there is the fact that ALL bard haste songs, except the Ervaj, Vah Shir and Rizlona's are considered considered spell haste. Those are commonly referred to by bards as "overhaste songs" because they give you a small amount of haste AND allow you to go over the haste cap for your level by a certain percentage. As is stated in that blurb though, sometimes bard haste songs will still show the icon when you have chanter/shammy haste on. This is due to the fact that those haste songs also usually have stat buffs to them, such as increased strength, agility, or armor class. You will still receive those stat increases, but only the higher spell haste, so sometimes bards will still play that song. When a bard is involved, I suggest letting him/her decide what song is best for the situation, since they SHOULD know what their songs do. If they're swearing up and down that their haste stacks with shammy/chanter haste before level 47 (I believe that's when we get our first overhaste, can't remember off the top of my head) then you'll know they either don't know what they're talking about or they've been completely misinformed.
