I'll collect some more information on this but I'm pretty sure the monk 2hb/epic swapping trick should not work at all. Any weapon switch should trigger a reset of the delay timer. Additionally, delays are getting reset through casts, this should only apply to hybrids, and then only past the January 9, 2001 patch. The "wait a full attack delay before they would attack via melee again" should apply to all other classes.

- Melee attack timers will no longer be reset when a SK, Paladin, or
Ranger cast a spell. Previously these classes had to wait a full attack
delay after casting before they would attack via melee again.
I'll do some more research but I wanted to post this in case anyone wanted to agree/disagree with my memory on this.
