~@~ Guide to Inspiration Buffing ~@~
Ok, it looks like some people are still confused on how our new buffs are applied. Here's a quick and dirty break down.

.:What's different:.
You not only can buff yourself, you do it automatically whenever you perform in an EH Zone (woot!)
Grouping with or targeting a patron has no effect at all on the process, all they do is watch... period
Your buffing ability is based on your Wound Healing bonus, not your Mind Enhancement bonus

.:What has no effect on buffing:.
If you have anyone targeted
If you are grouped
Your Mind Enhancement bonus
Your Dance or Music Knowledge Bonus
Flourishing (You don't have to do any flos at all)
The dance you do
Any tech FX you do
How much action you spend
Whether you stop and restart
If the person being buffed already has some buff built up by someone else
None of this matters at all...

.:What does have an effect on buffing:.
Your max Wound Healing bonus for the method you are using (Dance or Music)
The Wound Healing bonus you have in the other performing discipline (Dance or Music) up to what you have in the one you are using to buff
Wound Healing Clothes (BE or SEA)
Twi'lek racial Wound Healing bonus

The only skill boxes that matter are:

Novice Entertainer, Dancer, Musician - Master Entertainer, Dancer, Musician - Entertainment Healing I - IV - Dancer's Wound Healing I - IV - Musician's Wound Healing I - IV

Examples:
You will apply a full buff in 6 minutes if you have:
Novice Entertainer
Entertainer 0 0 0 2

You will apply a full buff in 4 minutes if you have:
Entertainer 0 0 0 3
Entertainer 0 0 0 1 with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Entertainer 0 0 0 1 Twi'lek
Novice Entertainer Twi'lek with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing

You will apply a full buff in 3 minutes if you have:
Master Entertainer
Entertainer 0 0 0 1 with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing

You will apply a full buff in 90 seconds if you have:
Novice Dancer
Entertainer 0 0 0 4 with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Entertainer 0 0 0 2 Twi'lek with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing

You will apply a full buff in 80 seconds if you have:
Master Entertainer with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Dancer 0 2 0 0 Twi'lek
Master Entertainer Twi'lek
Entertainer 0 0 0 4 Twi'lek with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing

You will apply a full buff in 60 seconds if you have:
Master Dancer
Master Entertainer - Dancer 0 4 0 0 with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Master Entertainer - Dancer 0 4 0 0 Twi'lek
Dancer 0 4 0 0 Twi'lek with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Master Entertainer - Dancer 0 2 0 0 Twi'lek with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing

You will apply a full buff in 50 seconds if you have:
Master Entertainer/Master Dancer with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Master Dancer Twi'lek with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Master Entertainer - Dancer 0 4 0 0 Twi'lek with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Master Entertainer/Master Dancer/Novice Musician Twi'lek

You will apply a full buff in 40 seconds if you have:
Master Entertainer/Master Dancer/Musician 0 2 0 0 with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Master Entertainer/Master Dancer Twi'lek with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Master Entertainer/Master Dancer/Novice Musician Twi'lek +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing

You will apply a full buff in 30 seconds if you have:
Master Entertainer/Master Dancer/Master Musician
Master Entertainer/Master Dancer/Musician 0 4 0 0 with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing
Master Entertainer/Master Dancer/Musician 0 4 0 0 Twi'lek
Master Entertainer/Master Dancer/Musician 0 2 0 0 Twi'lek with +25 Wound Healing SEA/BE Clothing

Bugs and Weird Stuff:
If you stop dancing/watching before the last tick, you actually get up to 3 hours and 20 minutes of duration. If you go the full deal, a hard cap of 3 hours is set.
The EH XP you gain for these buffs is set at 10 per 10 second tick... so as you train up and improve by spending less ticks to complete a buff, you get less XP per buff.

No, I have not. I'm sure that it works the same way the other +Wound Healing bonuses do though. Maybe I can talk Zina into helping me test that... or one of the FS Dancers on a cloned TC.

The only reason there appears to be a difference in between the clothes bonuses and the Twi bonusesis because they are different numbers. So if a human put on clothes that were +5 (Music) and +15 (Dance) and not the max +25 to each, I think they would work just like a Twi.

The scale up seems to happen about every 30 point increases to the bonus I think... I was having a hard time figuring out the exact point to increase formula though, so I just left it out.

I can update this guide if we get that info later or someone can make a new one. Then it really won't be quick and dirty though, hehe.

it DOES effect experimentation, just not the upper limit function... I get more high end successes with it on, very noticeable when it was at 10%

however.... it's been cut to 5%

I'm not qualified to be a Crafter tester and I certainly wouldn't attempt to write a guide explaining this.

I only crafted enough for these tests to make the BE additive and then make the clothes with it. I'm just a Dancer.

There is a house on TC EP3 called Ent House on the borders of the commando city with a blue frog that Scip asked for when they were giving the Alpha teams testing tools. I think I'm the only one that's ended up using it because Pappi got us frogs in Hawt City right after that. Anyway, if you guys want to use this house for testing, it's a really nice set up.

Just get a killing buddy to death blow you and rez you over and over again in between buff sessions, lol. *died a lot on two different chars to get these numbers* Don't mind the blood stains on the floor if you use Ent House, hehe.

A nice guide...I wish the exp gain was not the reverse of what it should be. Hopefully, we can get that adjusted to something that makes more sense. It seems just...backwards now.

Figures... So once again they are penalizing hybrid entertainers...

Seems to mea big focus of the CU is to FORCE people intoeither full combatnat ornon combatnat

Psst... Panthu

For to make the post look better move this "If the person being buffed already has some buff built up by someone else" to the top of the list hehe

Ummm...wow.

I don't know about you guys, but I take a certain PRIDE in giving a kickass mind buff.

This tiny sop they call a buff being given to us in return? Is anyone going to come in and get it on PURPOSE? I personally think people are just going to come in and get it incidentally when they get bh healed. And if it really does have an effect on crafting and experimentation, any crafters that are left are going to drop a crafting station in the player cantina next to the buffbot.

I'm sorry, but I'm near crying on this. I found myself calculating 'let me see I can drop that, I'll need that--hell, I'm a Twi'lek and I've got the +25 wound heal lekku wrap...'

And no flourishes? Whee. What's next, just removing them from the game?

I am just about used up between pre-respeccing and trying to encourage my friends to keep their chins up...and now this?

FuschiaD asked me once if I'd keep Master Dancer even if it became totally useless and at the time I said yes...but we are getting no love and an awful lot of the other thing.

This is really NOT fun.

It's actually called Sandbox City, but the HAWT PA Hall is there so it's Hawt City in my mind.
