Silly bard question ...
 

I feel like I should know this beyond a shadow of a doubt but ...

If a song requiring an instrument has ....


Haste, does the instrument modify the haste? Ie the v2 50/60 song haste is brass modified. Is this a flat 5/10% respectively or will popping a horn modify it? For this song: http://wiki.project1999.com/McVaxius%27_Rousing_Rondo ... will equipping brass modify the haste percentage, or just the str/attack/DS component?

If a song requiring an instrument has ...

A slow component, does the instrument modify the slow percentage? For example ... the level 60 slow/dot that lasts a full minute has 31% slow and a dot component. If I equip a horn, I know the dot part will be amplified, but what about the slow? Having a 60% slow that lasts a full minute ... likewise would be nice.

I know that for snare songs with an instrument potential, the instrument does modify the snare component, just not sure on the slow.

My understanding is that instruments modify all songs. So if the song requires haste and says 10% haste, with a vendor horn it would be 20% haste. I could be completely wrong on this, but for songs that don't require instruments this is how it works.

A good example of song that does not obey that rule, however, is the 55 hp/mana regen song. That song is strings, but the mana regen component does not get amplified by a stringed instrument.

So regarding snare, the answer is obviously yes.

Haste?
Slow?

Anyone have a hard answer?

My hope is that the answer to both of those is yes :)

instruments don't mod haste. most haste songs have other benefits that are mod'd by instruments though (ds, ac, stats, attk, etc.)

same with slows...not mod'd by haste. the other effects on the slow songs (like snare, dot damage, etc.) do get mod'd.
