Spells: Bard's AoE slows cause haste instead

[worch]

The following 2 bard pb aoe songs have an attack speed slow effect. Rather than slowing attack speed, they increase attack speed (haste).

Selo`s Assonant Strane (sas)
Selo`s Chords of Cessation (scoc)


log-control-hits (no active effects on attacker)
Trial duration: 1.6 minutes
Attacks per min: 20.625

log-control2-hits (no active effects on attacker)
Trial duration: 17.966666666666669 minutes
Attacks per min: 19.814471243042668

log-sas-10mod-hits (selo's assonant strane with no instrument)
Trial duration: 3.1999999999999993 minutes
Attacks per min: 30.000000000000007
ratio to control: 1.483701538598496

log-sas-21mod-hits (selo's assonant strane with 21 mod instrument)
Trial duration: 8.2333333333333343 minutes
Attacks per min: 29.878542510121456
ratio to control: 1.4776946497782586
Note: The instrument modifier had no effect on the attack speed effect. I'm not sure whether it should or not.

log-scoc-10mod-hits (selo's chords of cessation with no instrument)
Trial duration: 0.94999999999999574 minutes
Attacks per min: 23.157894736842209
ratio to control: 1.1453134683918262
Note: Small sample size since this song has a damage effect that kills the target.


The pb aoe Largo`s Melodic Binding (lmb) correctly slows its targets:

log-lmb-10mod-hits (largo's melodic binding with no instrument)
Trial duration: 8.4666666666666686 minutes
Attacks per min: 13.110236220472437
ratio to control: 0.64838925505682266


For sake of comparison, here are the measured attacks per min for two of the single target slows, Selo`s Consonant Chain and Largo's Absonant Binding. These look correct.

log-scc-10mod-hits (selo's consonant chain with no instrument)
Trial duration: 9.7666666666666657 minutes
Attacks per min: 12.081911262798636
ratio to control: 0.5975316776608276

log-lab-10mod-hits (largo's absonant binding with no instrument)
Trial duration: 9.0166666666666657 minutes
Attacks per min: 13.086876155268024
ratio to control: 0.64723394290063774


Logs attached as zip. The *-hits files have double attacks, bashes, kicks removed fyi.

Cool find.

Makes sense that this hasn't been found yet because people hardly use the PBAOE dot/slow songs in range of a mob since you never really use these in a group since they break mez.

Fixed Selo`s Assonant Strane, pending update. Selo`s Chords of Cessation was fine.

Thanks for the quick fix! I'll do some more parsing of Selo's Chords of Cessation to confirm it's properly slowing targets.
