Learning to bard

[Coverdale]

Hello, everyone.

Learning to swarm as a 30 bard. Quick question: how long is a Selo supposed to last for? Wiki says 3 ticks, so should be 18 seconds, right? Or it depends on when it hits compared to "server ticks" ? So it could be less than 18? Maybe a lot less?

The following happens to me every once in a while:

1. I cast Selos successfully

2. I cast a DoT

3. I cast Selos but fizzle... takes a second to realize and I start recasting it of course, but.. :

4. Couple seconds later I "slow down" and die.

Between Selos in (1) took effect ("Your feet move faster") to 4 ("You slow down"), maybe only 9 or 10 seconds went by, instead of 18 seconds.


Is this working as intended?

Thank you.
