Description

150 iterations with +11 Battlesongs vs. +0 showed reverse resist "benefits"
Mezz, Snare, 43DD all shows improved resistance piercing, 50DD showed worse performance with +Battlesongs in template.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create 50 skald, spec 50Battlesongs
2. Have template +75 Cha and compare +11 BS vs. +0 BS in template
3. Use the 4 shouts Snare, Mezz, 43DD, 50DD
4. See that 50DD resist rate is worse with +BS in template.

Intended Behavior

The 50DD shout should have a reduced rate of resist at least similar in scale to the 43DD.

I understand that the mechanics may be that the shout is level 50 and the inherent +1 means that no template bonus will give any improvements to resists... but it is consistently resisted MORE than the the 43DD, so something is going wrong there.
I would be happy to test under a different spec (i.e., 46BS is more common), but I don't have respec stones.

Evidence

I conducted test cycles of 150 shouts snare, mezz, 43DD, 50DD with +0 BS, +11 BS, and 50 cycles with +BS. The 50DD was consistently resisted MORE than the 43DD regardless of +BS status.
Maybe a broader statistical analysis than 350 shouts on 1min timers is required...
