Default Bard songs having shorter duration since patch intended?

I noticed the thread on mob run speed but didn't see anything about this topic.
I had been fear kiting the forager cycle off and on all week and could easily cycle 3 chants, snare, and fear with fear never breaking. Since the patch, I have only been able to get 2 chants, snare, and fear... and about 50% of the time fear breaks before I can finish the 4th song.

So I have gone from being able to do 5 songs to only 3-4 in the duration of snare and fear. I did not see anything in the patch notes about this but I have talked to quite a few bards today and they are all noticing the same thing.

Is this intended? are others having this problem?

This sounds incredibly unclassic. Can we get a nerd historian in this thread, please?

I would say 4 max was classic, and even then it was only really more like 3.65-ish songs as the 1st would clear "halfish" a tick into the 4th songs activation.

It's mentioned in about 4 other threads that self/group songs are unaffected but detrimental stuff on NPCs is not lasting its normal duration.

4 was easily doable back in the day latency considered, 5 happened on occasion but wasn't sustainable

He's talking about cycling dots, which should last a bit longer than a typical bard song. You can get up to 5 songs, sometimes more depending on which songs you twist. In the 56k days it might have came out to be a few less songs twistable, but this is definitely classic. Patch broke the class.
Swarm kite is broken, Charm kite is broken, Fear kite is broken, and CC is broken for grouping. Right now bards can not solo, and can not contribute CC to a group.

Yeah back in the analog days 5 songs was quite an achievement IIRC.

my totally anecdotal evidence says that bards only twisted 2 songs max until /melody because 56k just couldn't handle the power of 3 songs at once
