So I played a wizard during Live, and leveled up specifically during the velious era. (There's a reason I can never look at those cobalt scar wyrvyns again).
Flux staff was absolutely usable on the run as I would use it every day to tag my 4 wyrvyns for my quad kites as anyone else would remember who playing a wizard during this era.
Using this line:

Is definitely disingenuous as you are claiming this particular item that nearly everyone is saying was always instant was one of the ones changed when plenty of other instant items like Jboots were not. According to your logic, this patch note changed those too along with my Bracer of the Hidden or my Drums of the Beast. I think it would be best not to make assumptions intended to change established item mechanics on a guess or worse, due to a raiding motive.
