seriously lazortag, get on a bard on red99, and try to keep up four songs, it wont happen, the fourth one will fade while you are casting the first one again, where as before, you could start casting the 5th one before the 1st one faded. mez /charm are ending before they should etc, just get on and try it out, dont get on another server where this new patch hasnt been implemented, get on red99 and try it

Red99 and Blue99 spells are coded the same way, but sure, I'll prove you wrong again. Give me a minute since I'm not logged in now.

Ok, look, it takes 12 seconds to cast 4 songs, at 3 seconds casting time each, but if you want to keep those songs going without one fading, you need 15 seconds,

you can screenshot 4 songs up if you screenshot at 12 seconds, but if you are going to keep twisting those 4 songs, you need 15 seconds to do it or you will have one fade every time

I was able to 4-twist without interruptions, so your theory is wrong. (edit: in other words, I was able to complete 4 songs and then restart that same 4-twist without a single song dropping)

As for mez, I tested it out and I'm actually not sure whether its duration was changed. I could mez 3 with ease, but mezzing 4 was very hard. I think this is because in between having to target the mob, fizzles, stuns, etc. you'll get mezzes dropping, but it's possible the duration was just shortened because I seem to remember mezzing up to 5 mobs in some groups on p99.

even with fizzles, you should be able to keep 4 mezed, but you couldnt finish recasting the mez on the first mob before its previous mez failed.

Actually sometimes I could, so it might just be the way the tick timer works? Either way it's like you can't read or something, since I acknowledged this in my previous post. Can we agree that you were completely wrong about dot/buff durations? Mez is the only song that might have been changed when it shouldn't have been. As for buffs, like I said, I was able to 4-twist without interruptions, and no songs would drop by the time the 5th one was done casting. Nothing was changed with respect to this in the previous patch.
