With all the speculation on different ways to nerf doctors, I was thinking about a simple idea that actually make sense. I have been a master doctor for many months and have crafted my own buff packs for as long. It has always bothered me that power and duration where in the same experimentation field. So here is an idea:

Make a new experimentation field of DURATION.

So yes, you COULD get UBER power buffs for 1 hour, good for 2, or small for 3.

Feedback?

Then every1 would just put there exp points into power, and then into duration.

I don't like the idea.

Not necessarily. If I am doing PvE, I would take 1000 point, 3.5 hour buffs over 2500 point, 1.5 hour buffs. Even a 1000 point buff allows me to spam specials with a decent amount of safety.

In PvP, the bigger the better, of course.

If buffs must be reduced, this would certainly be an interesting first step. In general, I am always for creating real trade-offs during crafting (what was SOE thinking when they put weapon speed and damage in the same experimentation line?). Crafting trade-offshave the potential to create a more varied and interesting marketplace.

Happymob has a point, in that it might be interesting to see different levels of enhancepacks for different purposes, of course, imagine having to carry around all of the extra sets of enhancepacks.

Seriously though, this would be a decent start in tweaking enhancepacks, but it stills leaves the overall issue of high level PvP buffs rendering attacks to the Health or Action stat useless. Besides, a 1.5 hour PvP buff? You're lucky if you either 1.) live that long or 2.) can find someone to fight within that timeframe. Still, segregating power and duration in experimenation, with a reasonable cap could be a very viable solution.
