Thread: Mind Buffs: A poor comparison to Doctor buffs

Dancing mind buffs (and perhaps musician focus/will) need to have the duration of their effect extended. If a Dcotor buff can last 2+ hours, with a 1 second click, then we need to see more return for the amount of time one has to watch us to have any effect.


I believe at the Master level that the mind buff should last at least an hour to an hour and a half, and to achieve that you should have to watch a maximum of 15 minutes.


To aid dancer's you could make this an active action on the dancer's part. To begin activating the mind buff on a customer the dancer could actively target them and "commence mind buff". This would help dancer's make money, and allow them to choose who they buff.


You could also add a mind cost whole buffing. So that they could not buff everyone at the same time, or some other sink to regulate how it was being doled out.


These are just suggestions off the top of my head, but the underlying one is that the duration of the mind buff needs to be extended.

Sheesh indeed. All Egodis was suggesting was the same thing we've been kicking around on this board for at least 2 weeks, now -- the Mind is the realm of the entertainer, but yet our existing Mind buff has a 30 minute duration. Why is my Master Dancer's mind buff only 30 minutes to a Master Doctor's stat buff of 3 hours? Wouldn't a longer duration help everyonein PvP?


The mistake in your logic is the assumption that all dancers are AFK. That is as wrong as you can be, but it does support my contention that AFK dancers have ruined the image of the rest of us -- and I thank you for confirming what I've been saying.


I really want SOE to make our mind buffs interactive, so that any old AFKer can't buff whoever decides to /watch (which is how it works now). I want it to be a targeted command, which takes AFKers out of the loop and also gives us a marketable product to offer the rest of the game community.


If I could buff your Mind Pool +50% for 2 hours, are you telling me any doctor worth his salt wouldn't love that? Well, I can already buff your mind +50%, but by the time you get to the field of combat, it's worn off. What good is that?

while Chef continues to have the weakest and most useless buffs in the game..



I think chef should be given the greatest mind stat buffs before a Dancer or a musician and while they are at it they can take away the insane doctor buffs and make those into food items as well.. Chef can only buff and nothing else at least you can do something else.
