I just became Master doc and Im in the process of crafting my own buffpacks. I used to be a Master BH on a diff server and so I know this profession requires frequent Buffs, especially when we do Investigations. On a good day, we would be lucky to get 2-3 missions within the time the buff is active before it expires. What other professions require a BUFF and would make a low price on buffs for them fair?

Just curious, cuz Im thinking about charging 10-12K per buff....but I would like to make it cheaper for certain professions to acquire one since it can get way too extravagant for them, and they should really get their credits-worth.

Just watch and ask your customers.

Because no profession "requires" a buff. Requiring a buff is a concious player decision in the armor they elect to wear and how they want to adjust their stats.

Anyone can adjust their stats so the "require" a buff to play.

Any combat profession. If they're fighting, they want buffs.

Some professions really require a buff or they die in less than 10 minutes, and what fun is that to constantly get killed when youre just trying to complete a mission.

The Investigations for BH, especially IV, were almost impossible for me unless I had a good buff. Even with a buff, I died. Maybe "requires" is a bad term for it, but Im sure there are some professions that need a buff to make their gameplay easier. Just curious...

Combat professions need buffs. Entertainers, while not needing full buffs, buffs to the action stats help them play longer. People working on the survey line also work better with action buff, and full buffs if they are working out in the dangerous wilderness.

Let's face it, only pure crafers can say they don't "need" buffs...everyone else will say they do...well almost everyone....the truth though is no one needs them. They are an enhancement, not a necessity.

As someone pointed out, people turn themselves into buff addicts by droppng medic, stat migrating or refusing to (1) group (2) take on easier missions (3) go slower using less specials... now BH can't do 1 and 2..but they can go slower...let themselves heal a bit in between...

So if you want to cut BH a break b/c its darn hard, that's fine...but don't do it b/c they "need" buffs...or you're going to find other people arguing they need them too....b/c a lot of people think they do...

Pikemen, Swordsmen, and Carbineers can't even do casual leveling without buffs. The HAM costs are so extreme even with high secondary stats.

I am a master rifleman and I NEVER hunt without buffs. I migrated all the points I could to the mind stats so now after 3 or 4 specials my health and action are gone.

All combat classes, surveyors, and any crafters doing harvester runs need them.

Entertainers can use action/quickness/stamina, but that also can hurt medics in training who get exp healing these folks.

Any class that is going along to a PvP or PvE fight--like those whacky Architects that feel the need to bust out their Rep Blasters every now and then.

And lastly, whoever has the <insert your fee amount here> to buy the buffs.
