[FIXED] [Mage][All] Fireball, FFB & Pyroblast travel time

[rockhard]

Bug description:
Fireball, Pyroblast and FFB should have a MAXIMUM travel time of 0.75 seconds. Meaning that if they've traveled 0.75 towards the target they will give their damage/procs/whatever even if the visual is still in the air and hasn't collided with the target yet. I repeat, it should be the MAXIMUM travel time. If you are close to the target it should work the same way it does now. This mostly affects fire mages, but also frost mages because of Brain Freeze.

Currently on Freakz the damage is given when the projectile reaches the target. Travel time is not taken into consideration. Here's my Fireball test, from max range ~40 yards:
End of cast:

Time of damage:

As you can see, even if you nitpick a bit, the time it takes for it to give its damage is ~1.5 seconds from max range. It is double of what it should be. Same goes for FFB and Pyro.

-- Fireball, Pyroblast, and Frostfire Bolt (which was bugged until recently) have a cap on their effective travel time. -- Their effects will take place after a maximum of 0.75 sec. -- The fireball visual will still travel at the same speed, but you’ll see the damage number pop up and get the Heating Up proc after 0.75 sec, even though the fireball visual is still traveling through the air.

Here are two videos in which you can see multiple instances of this happening(fireball still visible and damage given for it)

In the first one @5:26 you can clearly see him getting the damage and proc from the pyro he fired just before even though you can still see the pyro visual. My mad paint skills:

And here I was thinking it was just my potato laptop as a cause to this... I can confirm it, seen it doing this while doing Sha/Galleon mostly.

I confirm this but i believe there's not much to do about it.

Having a spell (that could make a proc on landing) to travel and not do dmg for over 1s (gcd) is gamebreaking for any caster but mostly for fire mages that need to build up for their kbooms
