im a grinder, and i found adrebal boost to help ALOT, but it doesnt last very long
are there any docs that have gotten this to last longer, or is this a buff that doest require buffpack to buff?
No buffs require buff packs at all. And your guess is as good as mine if it gets any better than that.. considering most of the doctor mods are broken 
Also you have to keep in mind, its intended that doctors go with you on whatever it is you do.So theoretically it only really matters to the doctor how long your buff lasts.

not really in a doc's power to make these last longer...barely even in a bioengineer's power (they now craft 'enhancers' for doc buffs and heals...most of which aren't much help)
over on the be forum, we're trying to gather info on exactly how much these enhancers affect things...currently the buff enhancers add 5 minutes to the max duration of the other buffs. can't remember for the life of me if adrenal boost had an enhancer or not. if so, it'll prob'ly only add 1 to 2 minutes

well yeah,, its not fun for me or the doc to get a new adrenal buff every 14 minutes,and i cant really have a doc follow me all day long, since im grinding jedi
so i hope all you doctors come up with a way of making it last longer
GOO DOCS!!!! /cheer
Actually, I think any doctor worth his salt wouldn't have a problem rebuffing every 14 minutes. As stated earlier, it doesn't require any buffpacks, soit's not like we're chewing thruhard-earned, hard-crafted inventory. We've been trainedtowatch your HAM (well, HEALTH, now), damage level and states and react to them appropriately anyway, and it's not too tough to add buffs to that list. A complete buff set can be macroed, so what it comes down to is just knowing when to hit that magic button. The fact that we have full visibility into others' buff timers now also helps out on that front.
As for not having a Doc "follow you around", well.. I can't help you there. If you choose to solo, that's your choice. But realize that the change was made to get the doc out of the hospitals/starports/cantinas and into the field. Don't hold your breath for the timers to get significantly longer.

Okay. I understand starports and cantinas. But why did docs need to get out of the hospitals? Maybe you enjoy the pvp/pve side of being a doc, but why limit it for everyone? More options is better for everyone.
Oh, I agree.. and I'm not defending the decision they made about it. Just explaining why I don't expect the timer to increase.

And if it's because of the docs gaining med xp off of thetumblers, that could have been easily fixed without going this route.
Master Medic/Master Doctor
My applied buffs (if you can call them that) last about 40 mins. With the exception being speed buffs.
10% increase to health, action, & mind. duration 40 mins.
Speed Buffs - no real numbers in speed increase, but increase is dramatic when i use it.
14 mins - lowest out of all my buff times.
Disease/Poison buffs same duration about 40 mins
+100 protection +25 absorbtion
Can't verify this but I think there is a bonus to being Master Medic.

Seriously so far having to reapply such buffs every 15 minutes gives me something to do... while everyone is standing around picking they're noses waiting for a raid to happen, I continue to have a game to play

when your waiting for a raid is one thing, but when you are trying to grind, in a place far far faaaar away from Cnet, youll have 8 minutes left on the speed buff when you start the actuall killing, and that sucks alot, its like those foods that only last 15 seconds lol. its good, for a very short period of time
