Default Bard dots last too long

While doing research about a bug I realized that Bard dots all last one tick too long (with the exception of Angstlich's Assonance which lasts ten ticks).

See this page: http://crys.org/everquest/spells/bar...k=1&maxrank=65

I know that this page is from later but I'm pretty sure Bard dots were never shortened at any point, and it agrees with the data from here: http://web.archive.org/web/200106110...st=6&mode=list (you can click on each spell and find comments from 2000 or 1999)

and from here: http://web.archive.org/web/200010180...asp?Class=Bard

Both of these pages say that the aforementioned dots last only 3 ticks.

The only dot I couldn't find any reliable info on was Selo's Chords of Cessation (since the sites I listed don't agree on it), but I believe it lasts for only 3 ticks on p99 already, which is accurate.
