Devastate do sort of have a cast time (maybe not cast time, but skill animation?), just not as long as fire ball or magic blast.
I mean, you can't really stop them from casting the stun, but I can fear them in time if I see them using devastate on me. Problem is.. my fear doesn't stop them from stunning me, so yeah. In the end though, I still get enough time to run (usually).
I rarely outlast the stun though if I didn't fear them away at the same time. Make that never. The only times I did was:
1) the fighter did not have a +9
2) the fighter had the casting range bug
3) the fighter only auto attacked for whatever reason
No. 1) rarely happens.
No. 2) makes me happy and is pure luck.
No. 3) is when my HP stone can save me from being killed before stun ends.

Yeah sometimes the stun lasts longer than the fear duration. And at least when you stunned you stay in one place, instead of chasing your opponent down when they run feared out of casting rage and Inferno/Nova range. An auto-attack plus fighter can carve through a mage without +9 armor. It's a deadly game of cat and mouse.
