Many have done extensive research tonight both on the web and in game, and we've even installed the original T2A demo to check the timings there, which while not necessarily correct and certainly lacking in the ability to do a thorough test, it has put a lot of doubt in our minds. Even if we were assured that we were dead on with cast time, there is still dispute about delayed damage timing on explode and recovery times across the board.
Knowing now, that what we have is not 100% accurate, the best thing we can do at this point is use what we had until we find out what is 100% accurate, which is certainly a big task. Much constructive feedback has gone into this decision and we tested quite a few theories about what we have wrong with the new timings, but the live server it has been decided it not the place to be testing spell timing changes. We will continue to try and find what is correct and will do some extensive player-involved testing on a test center before bringing it live.
