Yeah I feel like the dislike of long cast times comes from live. I remember not liking the kunark armor clickies on live when Kunark came out due to the long cast times.

On P99, perhaps due to a combination of better internet and "unclassic" channeling, there really isn't an issue with long cast time clickies. They finish most of the time for me, and the mana savings are well worth it.

On live I had the vermillion robe of torrefaction. It is a great item and has many good uses but it is still a 600dd for 15sec cast for a class that can dump 3.2k damage within the same timeframe. Good for sustain and mana savings but terribly boring.

They were lesser known back then and the math/strats weren't out so it could explain lower popularity.
