For DD purposes, 1 haste >>>>>>> 3 attack
The haste benefits your DoT AND your ws dmg. (because you swing more, get more tp, so you will ws more) while the attack on the bonnet only affects your DoT. Let's say 70% of your dmg is DoT and 30% is ws dmg. The attack applies to 70% of your damage where as the 1 haste applies to ALL of your damage.
Let's say you have 400 attack vs greater Colibri, which have 293 defense w/ dia II on and a .35 lv correlation for the lv 82 birds
((403/293)-.35)/((400/293)-.35) = 1.009% increase to damage. This increase only applies to 70% of your damage
1.009 x .7 = .7063% increase to your damage.
1 haste w/ 0% haste easily beats this. Assuming 0% haste
1/(100-1) = 1/99 = 1.01% increase
Now, let's say you have brown belt, fuma, kitty pants, and turban vs denali + haste and 1 march
8 + 3 + 5 + (5 vs 4) + 15 + 11 = 46 vs 47% haste
1/(100-47) = 1/53 = 1.89% increase to all of your damage.
now if you have a black belt or a 2nd march, the increase is going to be even larger (haste samba as well).
Veg is our forum math whizz for in game calculations. Seriously, haste has an amazing compound effect based on how it is calculated in game. 1% makes a big difference as silly as that sounds. DEF, eva, and 3 attack won't even come close to the benefit of 1% haste for DDing.
