SKILLS
This list contains new changes and the changes from the previous updates - so it's easier to see all of the changes to these class skills.

All caster class skills with a casting time have now been changed to instant cast, except for the channeled skills Blizzard, Discharge Area, Ice Age, Black Hole for mages and Meteor Shower, Disharmony, Eye of the Storm for shamans. Some of these skills that were changed to instant that had very short cooldowns had their cooldown increased by 1s.

Due to these changes, the previous update to Auto Attack not being automatically activated after using a damage skill has been reverted - Auto Attack will once again be activated automatically (this does not include the healer classes - their Auto Attack will remain as is - they will need to manually activate it).

These changes will help the magic classes avoid the 1s global cooldown on all skills that was introduced to prevent animation cancelling/glitching - it will only happen now on the few channeled AoE skills. You still of course have the global cooldown on buff skills as it always has been (for all classes). It should also be quite a boost to DPS and make up for the loss of glitch capability, somewhat. I was very wary to remove all casting times from skills and if it proves to be too big of a change and overpowers casters, there will possibly be some reverts or changes. Lets see how it goes.

STATS
Casting Time Stat
What do the changes to the magic damage classes mean for the Casting Time stat? Now that there are no skills with a casting time?
The Casting Time stat is still useful to the magic damage classes, but obviously not as much as before. As well as reducing the casting time of skills it also increases the amount of damage ticks the channeled spells like Meteor Shower and Blizzard do - and since these skills do full damage every tick, it's quite a lot of additional damage.

I will gladly exchange PURCHASED items (currency is irrelavent - it just has to be an item purchased from a vendor or the shop) with the Casting Time stat on it for an equivalent item IF there is one. For example, if you have the Battlefield cloak with Casting Time on it, you can exchange it for the Attack Speed version. I will not exchange items dropped from monsters or crafted items. This is only available to the magic damage class players, not healers, or players that have class changed to something else and think they can make use of some old magic class items they have laying around their warehouse. Items will be exchanged for magic damage class items only.

Items with Casting Time that I WILL exchange:
Agate Wearing Cards (not Diamond or Onyx Cards)
Warmongerer cloaks
Seal of Practice

I will start looking at magic damage class specific items (Wizard/Sorcerer specific armor set pieces, weapons and accessories) with Casting Time and possibly swap the stat to something else on some of them over the weekend. But, any items with Casting Time that can also be equipped by the healer classes will of course remain as they are.
