I did a little bit of testing as well. I think that droids will no let you heal (including buffing) even when they are n a low power state. I was getting very low buffs with the droid until I recharged it. Then things appeared to be about normal, although possibly a tad low. I'll be sure to point this thread out on teh Corre forum, if nothing else.

I charge 5k for a full set of buffs. I refund 1k for every stat that falls below 1000. This was happening SO frequently after the patch that I stopped offering this refund. After a while, it wasdiscouraging enough for me to turn of my MD tag and stop buffing. It was like being a master surgeon....again.


(oh and I use a +110 droid and +28 BE-enhanced clothing)

Seeing as how Droids have been nerfed craft chip wise, they use of the droid may be a contributing factor, me and the other docs i met today are all having much lower buff successes than normal. The bad buffing and the droid craft chip turning public have blown my entertainment of being a doc at the moment, tis not fun.

well I'm having the same problems and its pretty sad when a master doc can only buffstats for around 700-800ish this is getting pretty sad....


oh then you go to craft more buffs, and **edit** you can only make enhance A's with your handy dandy craftingstation so now you have to run all the way to a private crafting station which if you actually play the game and are like in butt-**edit** eygpt dantooine itll only take a bour 1.5 hours to make a new set...... im fed up

Please tell me that the Enhance D's in my crate at a 78 use and when you tame them out jumping to a 93 is a bug that will be fixed! Anyone able to confirm/deny this?

something i have been experiencing recently even before the patch and i see now after the patch is something similar to this. i buff all the time and make some nice cash from it. people compliment me on good buffs and great buffs, but something that truly truly pisses me off is that i do stamina great 2587 i do quickness 2245 and then suddenly i do action 900 then to constitution 1976 then to strength 1700 and then health 1078 what is up with that all my buff packs have a rating of 800+ and i ususally do my buffs in that order sta quick act con str health and it doesnt fail every 2 out of 3 times it goes the same 2 high buffs 1 low 2 high 1 low. ive tried changing the order and sometimes it comes out the same way after 2 high i get 1 low. but now after this wonderful patch not to mention the fact that i cant use my buffs cause of the increase in required medicine use, but my buffs are through the floor. what the hell ami supposed to say to people when i charge them set price and do buffs around 900 1000 1200. you know you can do 50 buffs over 3k and 10 under 1k and people will remember you for doing those crappy buffs. it sucks what the heck did the devs do here

Has anyone tested to see if they can buff outside without a droid? Just curious since it's looking like a droid will at least not let you to wound healing actions (including buffing) without being charged, unlike before. But since the Low Power message is only ever seen if you happen to be looking at the droid when you "use" it, and even then sometimes only in certain circumstance, it screws you and you may not even realize it. Aat least before it wouldn't let you buff at all, but it looks like just as when you use it for crafting you may only notice it when you start getting an inordinate number of Vrit Failures, that will be the indicator it needs a new battery. I just wish they would fix the friggin Low Power notice and make batteries last an acceptable amout of time first.

There is a verifiable issue with droid crafting stations so it wouldnt surprise me that the med modules were broken as well.

I had written earlier that there seemed to be a problem with my buffs. Well, last night there was. But, I just did a test on a friend and buffed all 6 stats.

Check it out. This was done a couple of hours ago. I had to logout at the time, but will run 3-4 more tests and post the results.

Buffed around 20 times last night, all 6 attributes. Didn't notice anything different. Range was 900 to 2700, which is about normal for me. Outside with a 110 med droid. Didn't notice any other droid around, no BE enhanced clothing (yet).

Last night, I used some of my buff D's on myself, my pet, and my guild leader. I wasn't able to buff at all, until I charged the droid, then all seemed normal to me. I was the only Doc around, had the only droid around, and was in the Bank complex. All seemed perfectly normal to me, but I will test some more when I get online tonight. I know people in my guild won't turn down this kind of medical experiment We'll get to the bottom of this thing, we just gotta stick together, and see what we can do.

i noiced that too, i will admit my buffs are not the greatest 670/10200 with only abec as my advanced componant, but they still hit as high as 2400. i finally got good ingredients and made higher end buffs, but they are hitting for less now on average. i do get some that hit close to 3k, but i have more hit at 800 now.thats with the 750/10200 buffs. after the patch, they seem more random

I am thinking Battle Fatigue plays a much bigger role now. When I had some BF(not enough to say shock levels are reducing effectivness) my buffs were in the 1k range. I havent messed with in enough but try buffing others when you have BF and see if its less. Or maybe if the person being buffed has some BF it is lower.


just an idea
