the person AOEing is probably doing it from range, and that little extra slow is often enough to help them stay at range if someone notices them coming and tries to turn and go after them. If a person could easily attack multiple targets from long range AND slow them significantly, they would be practically impossible to kill ever. It's enough that you get some slow at all (essentially free) adding to the extra survivability you get in the form of life from this item.
