Man it would be funny if enchanters were always hyper OP and people just sucked so bad. Lets hop in a time machine and win everquest. Thats what we would do with a time machine right?
Does using a clicky to reset cooldown only impact your bottom slot spell? or all?
I think thats a classic mechanic though.

It impacts every slot to wipe the 2s Global Cooldown, and *reduces* the recast of the top slot by ~2 seconds, as well as wiping the global cooldown. If it weren't for that, recapturing a hasted charm pet would be 10 times harder. Locking down several mobs would require longer duration mez. Casting several level 4 mez's to blur something would take 10 times as long, especially with resists included. Hell, even buffing the raid would take exponentially longer, and cost you a lot more mana ticks from sitting down.
GCD resets may have been classic, but they were not readily available, and were likely not standard. You basically needed jboots inventory slotted or a spyglass,
since they put a "short cast time" on the rod of insidious glamour that is not present on P99.
If this GCD resetting was common practice, there would be commentary on the only reasonable option for doing so, from Zam.

This gives enchanters cheap, easy access to one of the best gdc resets in the game which can be abused right out of the gate.
