Abashi's Rod of Disempowerment
https://wiki.project1999.com/Abashi%...Disempowerment
should be instant click during this servers timeline. http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemhistory.html?id=31242 Live 2004-12-31 17:05 Added casttime: '3.0' more here: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/i...00557107196366 "This is a right click dispell that dispells ONE of your buffs. At first it was instant cast and unlimited charges, but it now has a casting time. It was so rediculously overpowered for pvp (and in general) that there was no way they could have left it alone. Still a great beat stick. looks like velium brawl stick." | ||

While a few Nov 2001 comments say it used to be instant cast, it doesn't say when that occurred. It may have been immediately after it was first 'discovered'. May want to track down some better info.
Also to be clear, it shouldn't be instant click for the end of time. It clearly had a cast time during Velious and before Luclin. Regardless, not sure if devs would consider instant click 'game breaking'. I know for a stretch DW Helm was instant click that made paladins better than clerics but it was rather promptly fixed.

which would line up with the lucy 3 second cast time being in 2004 as that is well past the PoP release date. | |||

I'm not arguing for or against this because I don't know enough about the staff, but the Lucy History tabs were either wiped and restarted or didn't exist until 2002. I've never seen an item that has a History tab that goes back prior to 2002 on Lucy's History tab.
The initial entry for the staff wasn't even until 12/2002. It also says it wasn't Any Slot/Can Equip until 2004, isn't it currently that way on P99? As Rygar said some of the comments on Zam contradict it not being nerfed until 2004. | ||

As Para also stated, Lucy can be a good guide for hunting down some later changes, but there isn't a lot of evidence for classic data.

its 100% was the same spell effect as 8th/9th/10th ring going off on me the entire duel, which also lit me up as a easy target to follow as i tried to get distance from him. This memory is extremely powerful and the main reason I rolled a monk on this server. He certainly had 1 of a handful that were on live from the early velious era. He told me it was a prenerf version which I cant find any info anywhere about. but with the rarity and question of how many of these players with them kept going past velious... its impossible to find firsthand accounts of players who actually had this item or experience with it vs those who read the patch notes and interjected their thoughts via forums.

eh im pretty open about who I was on live. nor do i hide who i am IG here via board names. and looking at your post history you certainly look like a forum warrior / troll. or maybe you are just salty. either way, i hope you get your eyepatch reimburse sooner then later. and you might want to properly fill out a petition. | ||||

I'll keep an eye out for you, but if a 'pre-nerf' was allowed to continue to exist, there should be some easy commentary to find about insta-click OP greatness (especially if one was obtained on a PVP server).

So seems classic version was 1 buff dispell and 100 range and instant cast rather than 250 range 3 buff dispell and 3 secs cast. | ||
