I believe I understand your feelings (none of my toons are entertainers) but without some of these unattended AFK entertainers many of us, especially our toons on sparser servers would never be able to find buffs that we seem to absolutely need to fight or hunt. It is frustrating to know that they are making millions without much effort or attention on their part, but without these peeps many of us would be up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

Just my opinion.

Try brandy and ahrisa or *shudder* no buffs! You might be surprised to find that the master combat professions, if understood and used correctly, don't need buffs for a large amount of content. One of my good friends and guildies constantly hunts some of the most dangerous planets with his wookie comp and brandy. As a master rifleman and master ranger he rarely runs into trouble he can't handle and when he does he is smart enough to run away or call for help. If you get it out of your head that you should be able to take everything on by yourself you won't be as discouraged when the combat revamp hits.

Exactly. Now I won't presume to comment on PvP, I understand the situation may be different there, but as far as PvE is concerned, you said it yourself (maybe without realizing? ) - you only "seem" to need those mind buffs, but you really don't 95% of the time. I'll admit that I had one or two occasions when that dancer buff saved my hide after I got jumped by Nightsisters on Dathomir, but I do the great majority of my hunting without mind buffs, only with brandy and ahrisa. And I hardly ever have problems (used to be TKM, Master Pikeman now. Not other combat skills, as the rest of my skill points are tied up with Master Musician/Master Entertainer).

I have killed or helped kill most of the things ingame in my time, with the exceptions of any Krayt larger than juvenile and NS Elders. And with those two, I just didn't get around to it yet But SBD's, Nova Troopers, Peko Peko Albatross, Tusken Executioner, Enraged Kimogila, Acklay, you name it

I'm not saying I could solo everything in that list, but then for me top-end hunting is mostly a way to relax with some buddies, or with my guild, so I was grouped for most of the tougher mobs. And when I'm out alone, well then I just think twice about what I'm prepared to take on, and just leave some things alone. But then that's the way it should be IMO, this game is too easy as it is

My main character is a master dancer/musician/entertainer, and i now have an alt with which i am doing bounty hunter/carbineer. In regards to minds buffs my motto is "I go live, or i go without."

If i'm to the point i am going to hunt the toughest jedi out there and i know i'd win with a mind buff but there were no live entertainers to provide that, i would go without a mind buff, i would not use a buffbot.

Basically its the old saying "Walk a mile in another man's shoes..."

I know what its like. Entertainers get no respect....thats probably also why i have a list of imps and rebs i'll try to get killed if i see them overt in the cantina. (They're the ones that support buffbots and are rude.)
