Why on earth would it be an int? Two different barbs battle commanding you more than a next delay apart do not give a stacking effect, just as two necros cursing you or two paladins giving you an aura (apart from HS/HF/HF which are damage dealing, and not states). Next delay wouldn't even achieve a reduction in the amount processing time, since if it is just a state you can essentially OR it with 1 for 60 times (for roughly 60 cycles of processing) whereas next delay would require a LOAD of some time counter, a comparison with the next delay value (or zero if the counter is set to next delay to start with) and then an ADDition to the int, and a STORE. So it would take approx twice as long (both have load and store), but even this is really irrelevant in terms of processing requirements.
