I use 922 Enchance stims and i hit 70% around 1500 enchance...

I use 780 Enchance stims and i hit for 1800+ enchance

Sigh, Seems the devs can't do anything right, can they?

HA. Yeah someone was definatly asleep at the switch when came up with the buff formula. DUnno whats worse, coming up with it, or some big wig agreeing to it."lets make it so buffs are completly inconistant but yet make combat so it requires buffing to hunt anything above a gnort. Oh one more thing, lets make it so you can't heal mind effeciently, but can be incapped if lose it". Good job Steve, your a genious, we putting you in charge of quality control.

I kinda wish there was a list of who came up with what idea, kinda like how you can see what congressman voted for what. Just so we can see who the weakest link is.

Maybe I'm just getting bitter

Yeah, it drives me nuts that my buffs range from under 1k to over 3k within a buff set when all my buff packs have exactly the same stats. It's nuts. Plus, on a personal sidenote, it seems like the people who end up with the really amazing sets of buffs don't appreciate them, wheras the people who would end up getting shafted with a bunch of buffs between 1000 and 1200. Makes me insane.

This is a common complaint for Doctors. We strive to make the best packs available, and still get a totally unacceptable range of results.

One fix that will hopefully be happening soon will be for people to be able to drop buffs, or for Docs to be able to overwrite a lower buff.

Last night, I saw I had a couple old 720 packs sitting in my inventory, so I decided to burn them on myself. I got some decent enhances, around the 1800's. Then, I go to buff my friend with my lovingly crafted 800-850 packs, and immediately hit him forunder 1k on three stats. Feh!

The problem is the random multiplyer that I thik ranges from 1 - 3.5. There was a vote called out before to either remove the variability or keep it as is (no given choice for alternatives) and it came out 52% or 53% for removing. Wasn't enough ofa tip of the scale to make a change. Perhaps a call to vote on the subject again would yield a different result.

Actually (Zarlor just corrected me on it in another thread), the coices were keep it as it is, or have a fixed buff of the average number. Which for Good D packs woulda been 1.5k or so.

Docs voted to keep variability, so they could retain the 3k possibility in buffing.

Yep, and it was a good decision. So what if we sometimes get a bad roll? I like the variable nature of it.

I think I read somewhere that they were thinking of changing the buff system so that you could rebuff a bad one etc.. Im sure I read it on these boards somewhere !

But your right they are a bit random, Im just using c's 19/320 ish (rubbish I know but im a new doctor) but the results i get range from 350 - 1100....one of those things I supose *shrugs*, although it would be nice to have the option of rebuffing a stat

I would have voted on cutting down the variance. Just made doctor recently so I wasn't aware of this issue before. Now it's really irking the bejeezus out of me each time I throw a set of buffs.

Bottom line is I feel I'm wasting time and efforts hunting for the best resources and crafting the best Enhance packs possible, when a run-of-the-mill 650 pack will do just as well, in general, as an uber +900 pack. Why (1) spend the effort or (2) spend the credits to buy the packs?

Again, tightening the variance for the final results would go a long way toward making this system more attractive to all.

i did not know the mulitplyer was so big for all rangers of power.. would a better system not be something like

any pack with a power valuve of say 600 or less get the biggest range, i read in here 1 - 3.5, then as the packs get stronger the range for the multyplyer decreases so a pack between 600 and say 700 gets a range of something like 1.5 - 3.5, a pack of 700 to 800 would get 1.7 -3.5 and so on.. any pack with a 900+power rating gets something aloing the lines of 2.8 - 3.5, so while still keeping the randomness it makes a fairer system and also enables you to price you packs accordingly.

feel free to tell me this is a daft idea

I agree, I like the variability to a certain extent. But when a a customer needs a buff so he can go hunt, a health buff for 825 points isn't going to do any good at all. I don't know about anyone else, but I seem to have a lot of 3100 buffs on quickness before 900 buffs on health. Makes for very unhappy customers.
