I've seen it happen in each of the following occassions, first hand:


1) When a players original buffs were beginning to wear off


2) When a player has recently died/cloned(buffed the full set, re-buffed the full set right after)


3) When a player has gone LD and logs back in(original buffs were still in effect, double buff was allowed)


4) When getting the message 'this player already has an enhancement to that stat' message, able to double buff a different stat.


None of these was I ever able to reproduce.

Well I still haven't had an opportunity to log back in to game until I get back this week. I also only buff from the hotbar.


I know some may be thinking are you're nuts for wanting this gone. Sure I'd love too have a 5000-6000 HAM Bar, but it breaks the game.


PVP imagine you going against someone with 50% greater HAM than you. Not excatly fair when he kills your master level character with a say a Dlt-20 rfile and you get the decay and insurance costs.


As a master cM as well, CM had/has some abilities poison from 75+ m and poison incapp, poison through walls etc, that made CM-DOC a combat class feared. Many people used tactics that many others started screaming nerf cm. CM's were changed after many calls for nerf with some things reasonable and other things that really hurt. (Personally the no incap on my poisons meant to me more gun skills where i once had survey skills or harvest skills..a doc without some harvesting and survey skills pays alot more for components)


What I dont want is to hear NERF Doc Buffs. I make 95% of my tips due to buffs. I bet that the people that come to this board can figure how this happens, report it, and it be fixed before a group of rebels/imperials double-tripple buff entire groups and take out all of the faction bases on a server in one night and the next thing I know someone pushes for a cap on buff of smore rediculously small amount, that make buffing only barley worth it.


sorry if I seem on a Rant, i just like playing CM-Doc

This is a known bug and people use it all the time. I dont know how it works, but i was with a group on tat that was heading to the Tuskan Fort and they all wanted to stop off in Theed for double buffs. I did not go cause at the time i was working on med crafting. I did meet them at the Fort (thought i could get some healing xp or maybe a few revives). Needless to say, the only stim paks i used where on myself and i never had to revive anyone.


Its a known bug that some docs know how to do....but i dont know how.

I doubt this will lead to a nerf.


For one the double buff is not active for the duration of the second buff and does in fact go away.


I doubt a nerf will come from this. What would hopefuly come is a fix to a bug.

This buff bug could fall in hand with a bug that someone isnt buffed but when you try to buff them it says they already have that enchancement. And the way to correct was to db them then ress them.
