DPS Scroll Buffs

Inhuman003

We should have special scrolls for different types of buffs, but they’re on a limited timer just like potions and ultimate's. These special scroll buffs can help DPS, Tanks, and Healers play a bigger role in your character's title in dungeons and Trials.

Automatically everyone knows I’m talking spellcrafting being apart of all these scroll buffs. I personally think it’s the perfect way to put spellcrafting in the game. But to each, their own and you all have a right to disagree.

Scroll buff types
DPS buff scroll
Revive buff scroll (only for raid groups)
Shield buff scroll
Poison buff scroll
Secondary Ultimate scroll

So we have Experience Scrolls in but not Scroll Buffs in the game. If we ever have them in the Crown Store Scroll Buffs are not all in PVP.

Personally, I’d rather not have to burn gold on another type of temporary consumable item. Food and good potions are enough of a hassle already. Not to mention armor repairs, recharging enchants, and restocking poisons. There are plenty of chores already in game.

Now any kind of permanent effect, even if very expensive up front, I could get onboard with.

Experience scrolls don't reduce the challenge in Dungeon and Trial content.

The game is full of buffs that boost dps/healing/tanking from skills, gear, consumables, dungeon queue, et cetera.

You have an interesting suggestion, but the effect will be to reduce the challenge of content, which means the Devs will have to buff Dungeons and Trials to compensate, especially since it appears your idea is geared towards group buffs.

I'm ambivalent. Reading a scroll for something to help the group is interesting, but I fear that the scrolls would have to be ridiculously weak to prevent groups from abusing them to just face-roll the content

No. Because that would be P2W.

Seriously, timed buffs that boost combat effectiveness are one of the cornerstones of power selling P2W.

That would, legitimately be worse. Because any buff like that would become a mandatory expense in the community.

Yeah, long term, anything that raises the baseline power will get factored into future content. In this case, it would effectively gate future content behind, "pay cash to make the attempt." You want to see toxicity in group content? Make it so that another player is costing you real money via their incompetence, and let the sparks fly.

Not opposed to this for PVE, not PVP
