Questions about Slow

Does lower Attack Speed count as Slow?

No. Slow lowers Move Speed. Lower Attack Speed is a different effect called Lethargy. Lethargy has its own Lethargy Chance and Lethargy Resist stats.
Which stat lowers the chance of getting Slowed?

Slow Resist. The more of it you have, the less often enemy Slow skills land on you. An attacker's Slow Chance works the other way and raises the odds.
Does Defiance remove Slow?

No. Slow is not on the list of effects that Defiance removes. If you use Defiance while Slowed, you stay Slowed. Healing Potions remove Slow, and so do cleansing skills.
