Donal's Vambraces of Mourning

Cast time was shorter for awhile on Live but I don't think it was ever changed here.

Donal's Leggings of Mourning
Deepwater Breastplate

At some point there was a recast timer added to these (55 seconds)

Willsapper (Velious)

Energy Sap was originally a 50% slow @ level 60 but was later changed to 35% on April 17, 2001.

Wavecrasher (Velious)

Breath of the Sea was originally a 70% slow and unresistable @ level 60 but later changed to 20% and resistable on March 6, 2001.

Shit, I'm usually on top of my game, but I don't remember this one. Seems like a solid candidate for the "things that are classic that should not be implemented here" list.

no it does not.

Wavecrasher should probably have the 20% slow at Velious release.

As soon as this was figured out and actually used on Live (not many people did SG in the early months of Velious, Wavecrasher was rare also) it was nerfed.

Having an unresistable 70% slow procable by 6 different classes is pretty overpowering.

Anything that is not immune to Magic in Velious would be trivial once the first slow has landed.

Updated OP with date information and clarification of needs.

Singing Steel Boots and Singing Steel Greaves have their effects changed March 27th, 2001

Changed the effects on the Singing Steel Boots and Greaves. After a fair amount of concern from players, we have removed the summon food and water effects from these items. They have been replaced with modified versions of Aria of the Eagles (boots) and Appalling Screech (greaves).

Donal's Vamb's up to the point of the nerf should be double the cast time of valor. Which IIRC was 2 seconds, so Donals vambs should be 4 second cast. Along with the Paladin Helm that was right click Daring, had a 2 sec cast time.

Cast time post nerf I don't remember because I never used them again lol. Regardless, all the Kunark Clickies that mimicked existing spells had casting time of spell x2 as the formula initially.

The Runed Fighter's Staff, previously useable by Monks and Warriors,
has been restricted to Monks only. The statistics on this staff are
much more powerful than normally allowed for warriors. This change is
retroactive and will be reflected on items currently in inventory.
Though we strive to avoid negatively adjusting items after they have
been earned, this item presented a balance issue, making the change
necessary. We apologize to warriors that currently own this weapon.
