Cantata/Cantana Duration

[SwordNboard]

Hello,

Straight to the point, I reckon.

A bard should get a duration of 18s on Cantana. However, I can barely pump Cassindra's Chant 3 times (~9s) before Cantana wears off, most of the time. It seems to only last 2 ticks.

Is this accurate?

Thank you,

It lasts for 3 ticks from my tests, just like Hymn of Restoration.

From my limited understanding on how this works, I believe this is because of the timer synchronization between the server and your client. Your song may display on the UI anywhere from 12-18 seconds, but you will still get the full benefit of 3 ticks.

It's 3 ticks. If it were 2, it'd last as little as 6.01 seconds, which I've never seen.
