No, the attack speed reduction has always been there, even
when I first tested it some two months ago when I first got
Chain. I only retested it because some people were insisting
that it stacked with Binding, which wasn't what I found when I
first tested it. As far as I know, there has been no change
to the degree of attack slowdown.

Btw, I got to test the L12 enchanter attack slowdown (Languid
Pace) and it appears to be identical to Binding and Chain.
Unfortunately, since I tested it with my enchanter, I didn't
get to check if it stacked with Chain. :-)
