Jumping into The Division 2 with Warlords of New York offers a whole new experience for players new and old. The gear is a lot easier to read, you'll find less loot, but most of it is quality now, and combat still feels solid. Those who loot some of the best gear have come to question the one called Skill Haste, and are curious what that means.
Skill Haste is an ability that you will find in the yellow level, which means that it focuses on the skills that you have on your character. All characters can carry two skills on them, and there is a wide variety of choices to choose from. There are even new ones, like the decoy skill, which you can use to distract enemies with a hologram. Either way, one of the yellow colored attributes attached to your gear directly affects your skills and their performance in combat.
Skill Haste is basically cooldown reduction. The more you have, the more you can use and eliminate your abilities in combat. You can see how much Skill Haste you have in your stats section of your inventory. There is a piece at the bottom where you have a breakdown of the two skills related to your Division Agent, and what increases they have. Each of them should have a skill haste percentage. Unfortunately, it doesn't list what the skill does for you in combat.
You can increase the amount of Skill Haste you have by researching more items that have it in the game. If you get a high enough percentage, be sure to upload it to your recalibration table, where you can attach this. skill to other pieces of equipment you like in the game.
