Hi folks,
I noticed something very disturbing the other night along similar lines; SoW
doesn't only seem to override Consonant Chain, but also Accelerando now
(Accelerando used to override SoW, didn't it?). A friendly shaman was
buffing me and cast SoW (he didn't mean to, poor guy) while I was singing
Accelerando with a drum. For the rest of the duration of SoW, Accelerando
didn't work. I'm only level 16, but even at so low a level, a bard with a
drum can outrun SoW slightly (I've been stuck at 16 long enough to notice
the difference). I zoned several times and even logged out a couple of times
while the SoW was still in "affect" (If you try to cancel SoW yourself by
left-clicking the icon, you get the "You cannot remove this affect"
message). No matter what, Selo's didn't work. I still ran at SoW speed.
Oh, I still kept strumming my drum. And the song icon bubble was greyed out.
And I made little song sparklies. But there was no "Your feet move faster"
message, and I was stuck running at SoW speed until the darn thing wore off.
If it's been like this for a while, sorry. It's just that I seem to remember
that Accelerando used to override SoW, not the other way around (you would
still have the SoW icon, but you'd run at Accelerando speed and get the
"Your feet move faster" message).
