Internet detectives, need some help with Deepwater armor info

[Fromage]

Does anyone remember what Deepwater helm effect was pre-nerf? I can't remember if it was a faster cast time then 10 seconds or a different buff other then Valor. Donal's vambraces got nerfed the same time, so assuming it was the same as DW helm at the time if anyone played a cleric in kunark.

On beta server, DW helm is post nerf with valor buff and 10 second cast time. I remember it being nerfed a few months after kunark came out, and this wiki link says the same(july 19, 2000), but damned if i can remember pre-nerf stats.

My google-fu is failing me.

Best i can find is this
- The Deepwater Helm now has a significant casting time. The function
of its spell allowed a mana-free heal even though it was intended to be
a buff.

Can't find pre-nerf cast time anywhere

The effect was most definitely always 'Daring' not 'Valor'.

The pre-nerf cast time was probably either 5, 6, or 7 seconds like the Vambraces (7.0), Gauntlets (7.0), Bracers (6.0), Boots (5.0).

Now that I read through some shit, people are saying that it was a definite 10 second cast.

Yes... post-nerf.

Pre-nerf casting time was 6 seconds.

"They aren't taking the effect away, it will still heal you. It just won't heal you in 6 seconds or whatever the cast time was, just like the valor sleeves still heal you, just not as fast."

"100 hp every 6 seconds. It wasnt much better than bind wound."

Nice find, thanks Heebee. Reported error on test forums.
