    I seen many people do have 1.8s on ranged weapon - I have 3.6s - I am wonder if I am missing something? (I am at haste cap)

    Use a 4sec weapon modifier from ToT and thus you can increase the speed. You will see the basic damage decreased but in general you will get better damage out of it because you don't have to stop casting your spells in rotation for ranged auto attack to go off.

    Casting spells doesn't interrupt wand (spell weapon) attacks.

    The only reason I could see a faster wand increasing damage might be for more procs, but I'm not convinced of that.

    Okey I am slightly confused here ...
    What is 4s speed modifier? where I can buy it? and I thought it works only on main/off-hand weapons (kind of flipping between 4 and 6 second) ... ranged wand on other hand is 8second base weapon (I think) - thus with 200 haste we get 3.6s weapon effectively.... I can tell for sure that wand will not interrupt casting but I am not sure if casting will interrupt wand auto attack (

    It works on ranged to.

    I find dropping down to a four helpful in fights that take a short amount of time. Things are dying stupid fast this xpac, so you don't end up wasting an auto attack.

    Doom you can buy them off the broker. and there is a benefit for a lock to have it low just cant be bothers to explain everything to those that never listen.

    Another reason to make your wand faster is getting more hits in when the bard in your group is casting VC

    This reason makes sense, at least.

    Does anyone know if you can revert it back to the 8s delay, or just 6s? Just in case I don't like it after changing it :p

    4s delay wand is ur best bet as stated before increased proc's is pretty awesome. I'd change mine to 1s delay if i could.
