Are the Pegasus Feather Cloaks looted prior to this patch going to maintain their instant cast? Or are they being nerfed across the board?

Enough evidence was provided for them to be temporarily instant click. Just like live, they will all now have a casting time.

What? Why?!

Why remove something that was classic? The firepot system was compensation for evil races since they have a harder time getting around due to factions.
