Actually you don't have to /setperfrom anyone if they are all in your group. I'm not really a "production-line" sort of buffer. When I do group buffs it is usually for a raiding party or PA function. As long as each patron watchs for the prescribed time it works out fine. I let the patrons track their own time because with that many its way to hard to track them all.

I actually did this for the first time this past weekend. I don't think I ever had more than 3 people getting buffed. However, I was still able to do more buffs, make more money, and make the clients happier by having no wait time than if I hadn't done this. I will probably do it again.


The only difference is I always keep track of the time myself. It adds a little bit of personalization and a little nuance that I am actually "taking care" of the customer. I find it a little too "cold" toput everything directly on them. Besides, a lot of customers still need explanations of how buffing works, and apologies because they don't always take, etc. So when I did this, I found I really didn't have time to chit chat with friends or anything because I was too busy timing and talking to the customers. I think it's a happy medium between being a "buff bot" and doing the 10 minute individual buff. I think overall everyone liked both the attention and the speedy time frame.

Well if you want to do production line buffing, you can create an alias for it (Not a macro) such as the following:

/alias buffstart /invite;/ttell Make sure you are watching me and join my group for your buff. I'll let you know when you're done.;/pause 600;/g Your buff is done,

Then lets say someone named "Luke" comes in asking for a buff. (His guild is doing a big raid on a large imperial base in the new space expansion, so he needs all the mind he can get) Once he pays, you just target him and type /buffstart Luke and you will invite him, tell him what to do, and then in 10 minutes, say to the group "Your buff is done, Luke". You can of course adjust the pauses and messages to your liking, provided the only time you say their name is at the END of the message saying their buff is done.

Inside my heart is breaking, my make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends

Are there any dancer's out there using a buff que or I guess better put a buff group system?


I know that you can buff a whole group you are grouped with by having them each watch you after you have set perform to just one of them. So, is anybody doing the following?


1- Customer says "Hi, I'd like a buff"

2- Dancer responds, "Great, that will be 5K. As soon as you pay me I will group invite you. Once in the group you will need to watch me for 10 mins. At the end of the time you can leave the group and the buff will apply when you stop watch. Its your job to keep track of the 10 mins."

3- Customer pay's 5K and you invite him to the group.

4- Next customer comes along and you do the same thing. Timing between customers doesn't matter as long as you continiously dance and flourish.

5- All customers leave the group after their own 10 mins is up.


I assume the above would mean you could buff up to 19 people at once and they could be endlessly replaced as they dropped out of the group at the end of each of their 10 mins. If this works there wouldn't be anymore waiting to get individual buff treatments.


Is anybody doing something like this? If so, how is it working?
