That. . .would take so much spell speed. Current SMN BIS (and remember, they were loaded with SS this patch) doesn't have enough SS on it to give Bio II an extra tick even with a Contagion'd duration. Which, for reference, is +165 SS. To get a non-contagion Bio up to 7 ticks, it would take +301 SS. Trying to get it to 9 ticks. . .that's +876 SS.
