finally! i dont feel slighted because i cant hit 3700 on a stat anymore. i feel relieved and happy that every stat i buff now will be guranteed! woo hoo for me! hehe. i logged on earlier just to see what my buffs were supposed to do all along. try 2300-ish for lowest and 2550-ish for highest. this is great. i was considering dropping doc before this. i have 400 base for all my non mind stats. good buffs were imperative for me to last in a hunt. cant tell you how many times i would hit 3500 in action, then hit 1100 in health. lot of good that did me. my action would last forever but i would be layin on my butt with a white health bar. now they are all equal and in my opinion much much better. a big thanks to the dev's for fixing my buffs!

I feel the same. Was n't sure I'd like the change, but prefer the set buffs to the old randomness. Am buffing over 2k, & suspect the old odd random lo buff was more of a pain than the old oddhi one was a real gain to the players.


Also, there's less worrying about buffs running out now ... no more "let's wait 10 minutes so I can re-buffed before we enter the cave" or indeed "DB & ress me please" - now I can just over-buff.


One slight problem I'm getting, is wasting buff shots. Before, keeping track was n't a problem - if I was on buff 4 of the 6 & lost track, due to tells etc, I could just hit buff 3 again & woudl get "already has an enhancement to this stat" - now I have to keep better track as it'll re-apply the buff, wasting one shot from the pack. Think I wasted 4 shots today


Iam.

One way to prevent that is by dragging all the buffs to a toolbar and having tem all with the same uses so you can tell which ones you've used on someone and which ones you haven't.


I haven't even gotten to try it out yet and I can already tell I'll like the new system better.At first I thought I'd hate it, but now I think I'll welcome it .

Just use the ability enhance, from your menu, it will not overwrite any buffs.
