Haste.. New stat?

Well, it is for me. Tonight, doing the Villa dailies I got a green 1H with +1% Haste Modifier. Haven't seen or even heard about that before, but, this will be good. 1% haste is a straight 1% increase in DPS (Unless AoC has some goofy haste mechanics, but we'll have to wait to hear. I'll just assume it's logical and functional - dangerous, I know.)

I'll add this to the Barbarian Stats (Attributes) and Gear Guide sometime tomorrow and toss up a screen shot.
