Character Name: Creelo
Race: Hume M
World: Sylph
Main Job: Bard 99
Support Job: Whm
Area and Coordinates: Rolanberry Fields, tested a little bit in Ceizak Battlegrounds prior
Party or Solo: Solo and Party
Monster Name: Death Wasp in Rolanberry, Fernfelling Chapuli in Ceizak
Steps:

1. Noticed Virelai duration seemed exceptionally short considering I have 95 Carnwenhan, 99 Gjallarhorn, and Song Duration+30% in other gear. Seemed to only last 42 seconds on Fernfelling Chapuli with the gear mentioned; I was not getting resisted.

2. Went to Rolanberry to try out on Death Wasps. Using all Song Duration+ gear such as Carnwenhan 95, Daurdabla 99, Aoidos' Hongreline +2, Marduk's Shalwar +1, and Aoidos' Matinee, I did not get a longer duration Virelai charm. The Virelai would only last its base duration of 30seconds. I played with other combinations of Song Duration+ gear just in case it was a weird combo that was affecting it, but none of the gear seemed to enhance duration.

3. Using Gjallarhorn 99, the duration was boosted to 42 seconds, so the All Songs +4 is working correctly with Virelai, giving it 40% longer duration (12 seconds.) So it seems that just Song Duration+ gear is not working with Virelai.

4. I played around with some other debuffs like Foe Lullaby I/II and Horde II, and Song Duration+ gear was working with those, so it seems possibly just Virelai was affected by this bug however I did not test all debuffs since that would take ages.

Please fix!! :(
