Effect of character level on spell strength

    I've been wondering this for a while now but I'm finally asking... If I take the the Alacrity spell for example:

    Increase Attack Speed by 22% (L21) to 62% (L37)

    Clearly a 21 enchanter will cast a 22% haste, but what happens to a shaman who gets the spell only at level 42? I would suspect their haste would be the same as a 42 enchanter casting the same spell, but can someone please confirm? Thanks!

    The informations on ZAM and other sources are highly inadequate as they are only extracts from some decoded game files I think. I just checked Celerity which does always grant 50% haste. On ZAM it is listed as " Increase Attack Speed by 28% (L39) to 78% (L45)". Haste spells do always grant a firm amount of haste independently on any level values. There might be spells that do scale dynamically with the PC level but I just cannot remember any.

    ZAM has very old spell formula decoding. It's been over a decade since those scaling formula were correct. Since then it has been the max value without scaling.

    It would be = enchanter 42, Alacrity should max at 40% (at level 36)


    A lot of the stuff still scales (mostly in relation to TLP's), but I think Alla ignores the Max value and it gets the base value wrong and its scaling too, at least on these haste lines (possibly a lot more)

    For Example for Alacrity it should be roughly
    Level - Effect
    21 - Increase Melee Haste by 32%
    22 - Increase Melee Haste by 33%
    24 - Increase Melee Haste by 34%
    26 - Increase Melee Haste by 35%
    28 - Increase Melee Haste by 36%
    30 - Increase Melee Haste by 37%
    32 - Increase Melee Haste by 38%
    34 - Increase Melee Haste by 39%
    36 - Increase Melee Haste by 40%
    Every level beyond caps at the 40%

    Alright, thanks all very much for the insights.

    I'm a TLP player, so I guess the info is a bit more accurate for me than it is for Live players.

    Just one more info:
    Haste is capped on the player characters based on their level and class. This is why haste spells seem to scale but they don't.
