And if somehow Leliana was KOd and she gets up while Haste is active she won't be affected by it, and thus won't have her attack speed brought down. And in any case, the time it takes for her to shoot arrows when using talents stays the same anyway. And those talents will still receive the bonuses from Aim.

I keep it active because while it makes Leliana less effective, it makes Sten, Shale, Oghren, Alistair, Dog, and especially Zevran and Me a lot more effective. That's 7 characters. Leliana is not even important to me anyway, she's just there to open chests. So really, why should I avoid using Haste, which helps about 3/4's of my entire team, simply because it makes just 1 character less useful?
