It hurts those who were using the cast-time exploit and benefits for those who didn't. The bug used to go both ways, you would often end up firing multiple slow casts in a row if you weren't aiming for the bug. Now it's constant and feels a lot less clunky for the non-exploiters.

{| style="width: 100%;" Now that QA theater is done, hopefully we can PTR patches that actually need testing. I expect megaserver tech on the PTR soon, though I'm not certain if any of that will be visible to players, followed by the latest Drop 3 build in a couple of weeks.

If you take a moment to think about it, there are various good reasons that the rune slot changes need to wait for the rest of the system changes (AP rebalance especially), and the rest of the system changes haven't been in testing for nearly as long. While there are some pieces that they could pull out, there is currently a QA bottleneck. So any partial system deployment would only serve to delay the full system deployment. And I don't think the people clamoring for the rune changes would be satisfied with just the additional stat options for each rune type. Its a similar situation for Expert Technologist Research, though that is more dependent on itemization changes.
