Thread: Issue with dancer/musician combo
Tried giving combined buffs all day yesterday and only one took at a time. This happened during group buffs consistantly with all members.
Time is money... and we all spend it on this game to have fun. However, I agree with the majority that wasting time standing around for more than 3 minutes for anything in the game is not acceptable. i.e. starports, shuttles, buffs etc.....
we're getting hate mail at The Mind Pool too. I really hope they consider this a bug and work to fix it. If they aren't going to fix it, they should at least let us administer 3 hour buffs so we can come close to competing with doc buffs.

Mind buff stacking can still be made to work, but only on a consecutive /setp from the master in question. And no, it doesn't work in grouped buffs because we tried it. They took our workaround for the horrendously low timer on ent buffs away.
/slowclap SOE
same is happening for me, and its getting kind of annoying to wait and watch for both buffs and only get one.

Yup, nerfing the speed buffs is one thing, I sure hope this dancer / musician thing is a bug and not a silent nerf, its not right and needs some serious attention !
or to put it another way ... /bump

I don't know why, they haven't answered me yet. For the slower applications, 8 min, 10 min, and so on, you have to add an extra 2 minutes now to get the full duration. Over flo methods, spamming flourishes with out pauses or pushing through five at a time before pausing (ie /flo 1; /flo 2; /flo 3; /flo 4; /flo 5; /pause 8; /mac loop; ) still work the same as pre-patch. The minimum time for that is close to 3 minutes 12 seconds for full duration, but you need to be buffed or on foods for those.
On the not being able to be Music and Dance buffed at the same time, I had not incountered that in my testing. We were taking turns, so I'll need to go test that now. If that is the case, that sounds buggy and not intended to me so I'll flag down some Dev attention. Has anyone else seen this so far?

Panthu - Wait, I missed that I guess. You're saying that if my 8 minute buffing routine that gave a full buff pre-exploit-fix I now need another 2 minutes of flourshing at the same rate to get the full buff?
Waaaaahhhh! Sorry it was a long/bad night of dancing

Yep, but that's for full duration... what happened to you was a no set... which could have been due to the Musician buffing at the same time thing. Or it could have been the patron... or some other weirdness. Yes, a monitor would be really nice... I hate hearing stories like yours tonight and I don't like it when it happens to me either. 
... anyway, yes... if your old macro was averaging 1 flo per sec, that used to take about 8 mins, but now it takes 10.
The "spam flo" method still works in 3:12, but you have to be buffed or on foods. (You can do something in between for 3 - 10 mins)
Hang in there! I'm hoping to get some good buff answers this week.
