Buffs need a Buff

Jameliel

Buff buffs please. Make them last at least a minute or longer, rather than seconds. More buttons to hit with this clunky system and op lag sucks. Take a break from the nerfs and start buffing.

Thats right, let's just buff up when you start the game and let it last until you quit it. And when we're at it, let's combine all attacks in just one so we have to press only one button.

Nah nothing so ridiculous as your sarcasm. Buffs should last a reasonable amount of time just like in other decent mmos.

Why are you even on the forums? I can't imagine a worse first post! That's not how you have a discussion!!

Personally, I'm no expert but I think I can agree with the OP. I don't find it fun to be constantly refreshing multiple buffs on my character, and I think the change to that Hawk ability Wardens have so it's baseline and slotted would be great.

Same goes for Magelight! Imagine if you had to activate it to gain Major Spell Critical every 20 seconds, that would be less fun than what it is now.

Which buff skill specifically is too short according to you? Personally I find them reasonable, you have to recast but thats kinda the point since it increases the value of permanent buff skills / sets and potions.

I agree with you op, but please start by buffing an avatar for yourself on the forums.

A agree and we should also nerf nerfs ;c

The other MMOs I've played have mostly 30s or 45s buffs. And DoTs tend to last at least 15-20s, if not longer. The super short duration on everything in this game is part of the reason the ceiling is so high.

IMO short durations contribute more to the dps gap than animation cancelling and gear sets combined. Whoever is best at micromanaging short duration buffs wins, super fun gameplay 10/10.

Sarcasm aside, most other games do have relatively few "short" buffs.

Generally anywhere from 30s-1m is standard

Agree. If they can't fix performance, and apparently they can't, fewer absolutely necessary mid-combat barswaps would be good.

Or they could just add that to battlespirit. Shields and heals halved, +5k health, all combat buff durations tripled.
