Not sure, I quoted from Rokenn's post. I saw it at 6-9 seconds also, but
that duration would not explain the result of having a mob that just nodded
attack 2 seconds later. Of course neither would a duration of 3-5 seconds
for that matter. I'm still not convinced we aren't seeing revisionism at
work here with GZ trying to tell us the song is designed as it works now,
regardless of how it was really designed to work.

In my test nodded mobs either
A: attacked apparently immediately, though according to the logfile output 2
seconds later and always 2 seconds btw. or
B: did not attack at all during that pulse of the song.
There was absolutely no evidence of a random duration, mobs always attacked
2 seconds after nodding or not at all within a given pulse. This does not
seem to fit with GZ's duration of 1-1.5 ticks explanation and the separate
resist message we don't see theory.

Was the "3-5 seconds" a quote from GZ, or from an observer?
I suspect GZ only said it was 1-1.5 pulses, which would put it
at 6-9 seconds (which is what I'd estimate it at).

The 25% minimum resist rate is the killer though.
