ok... ive figured this much out ...

The quality of your buff (read: percent enhancement) relies directly on your "mind enhancement +x. Master = 100,dancing technique 4 =75%

Duration seems to be dependendant on the amount of flourishing.... if i go five minues with one second pauses (someones healing), then the reciepients buff will last well over two hours.

Later I'm gonna definately try to shortcut the "five minutes" and see where i wind up.

But for my next little experiment, I'm gonna try using a beginer dance. My personal favorite is footloose. I'd like to see if using this (as opposed to exoticx) makes any kind of difference on % increase (doubt it), or duration... (hope not)...

my guess is that duration might take a hit if the flourishes cost less action... it might just be action burned, who knows.

Im considering dropping master dancer for 4-0-0-0

i guess dumbnewbs should jsut read the stickies...

anyways...

The Dance your doing directly effects how fast the buff is applied and maxed out. Not its percentage so much, mostly just the duration it lasts. So in this way the buff is limited if you want to apply it as fast as possible. You can do it with lower dances but it will take longer for you to apply the buff. So if you had knowledge 1 and dancing IV unfortuneatly its going to take you longer to apply the buff. On the other hand, if it was the other way around you'd hit your max before 5 minutes.

If its action - burned and not duration based... perhaps I could live without? Maybe I'll just become 4-0-4-0, but im hoping i can just use footloose and make the pause between flourishes .5 seconds.

someone elses test:

passive buff, no flourishes, 5 minutes = 100% buff, around 15 minutes duration.

passive buff, only flourishes, 5 minutes = 100% buff, close to an hour duration. possibly a bit less

active buff, only flourishes, 5 minutes = 100% buff, close to an hour duration.

active buff, only lightshows, 5 minutes = 100% buff, close to an hour duration.

active buff with lightshows, and flourishes 5-7 minutes= 100% buff, nearly 2 hours duration.

flourishes were spammed around 1 every 8 seconds, lights every 3.

So, hell... dont even NEED to dance... yup, im going 4-0-0-0 goodbye master dancer ill miss u

with my 1 second pause macro i know doing exo2 that i go well over 2 hours... ive been told its the longest buff people have ever gotten from a dancer yadayada...

further evidence that its all in the action burn, especially seeing as how lightshows/smokebombs matter...

Im gonna try a .2 second pause macro... after a doctor buff and a sunburn... and see just how much action i can use up. I bet i could 2 hour buff using just basic.
