Staff of Temperate Flux
Found a source showing that Flux staff should have a short cast time associated with it in our era.
Source: Allakhazam Date: June 15, 2000 which puts it in the current timeline. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/his...es-2000-1.html Text from source: “The Staff of Temperate Flux and the Rod of Insidious Glamour now have a short casting time associated with their activatable effect (See Below).” “We received word a few weeks ago that some people were using these items to "spam" other players with their spell-effect messages, causing them to disconnect. Though /ignore will allow you to filter out text messages caused by people on your /ignore list, it will not allow you to filter out spell-effect messages for spells cast upon you. The short casting time should prevent the problems associated with the targetable and activatable effect on these weapons, however you will have to stand still to use them now.” | ||

I played a wizard during velious era on live and it was definitely instant. If it was ever actually changed, then it must have been temporary and changed back.

Is it possible the "short cast time" added to it is just an internal cooldown to reduce the spam? My read on the "you could use this so often you would DC people" is like, you used to be able to bind it to mousewheel and completely blast someone with it and the fix was to put a very short internal cooldown so you can't spam it fully at will.
I can't imagine the current rate a player can mash on a flux staff would ever break someone's client, far more spell effects are flying in raids, so my assumption is that you used to be able to spam it unbounded. | ||
