    I believe the only difference is that you don't experience the tiring effect with improved haste once the spell wears off.-JB

    Not quite. There are two other differences. First, Haste has an effect radius, Improved Haste affects only 1 creature. Second and more importantly, Haste gives one extra attack while Improved Haste doubles your attack rate.

    It has great combine with your fighter (max att/round is 9), Melf's minute meteor (max is 10 I believe) and Energy Blades (max is 18 I think). Wew!

    I use it to great effect with my shapeshift into greater werewolf:
    1-shapeshift
    2-draw upon holy might(all 25 :D )
    3-improved haste

    along with all the resistances, 25 strenght and many, many, pre-casted enchanting spells i can whack anything better than any fighter can :D
    Only problem is THAC0 but in TDD there is a spell which improve your THAC0 for 10 points ;)

    That really rocks
