Thread: Buffs have way to much variance!

Hey all -)


I am a fairly new Doctor. So far I have only been buffing friends, and here's why ..

They vary to wildly ! I buff anywhere from 985 to 3005, (my highest yet). I wear bio'd clothes with over +25 to healing, my droid is +125 and yet I still get this weird range. Is this normal ? I am afraid to buff for a fee because of this variance. Also, I've checked and it's not the packs. The same pack can have the same results. I don't want people running around saying I give lousy buffs. Am I doing something wrong here? All my packs are right around 850. Sometimes all my buffs are over 2000 on the same person, and sometimes I get wild results. I think at master the results should not vary like this.

Feedback appreciated -)

Of course, you can check out the FAQ for more info on wide buff ranges.

Congratulations! You have qualified for the skill Interediate Choir Preaching


Personally, I try to ease the pain of a bad buff by tipping back 1K for each buff under that


I could be wrong, but I read (or mis-read) that buffs will be cancelable after the next publish. If a buff is lousy, they can take the 1K back from me, or.......give me another 2K for a re-attempt. Gotta love that.

Ah yes, the joy of buffing. I had a real good run today, buffing my main before going out on a NS rampage. Best buffs I have seen in a looooooong time, using 895 Ds. Didn't hit one stat for under 2500 and 2 were over 3k. Then the health buff......812. W...T....F...?

Don't worry about charging a fee, I charge 10k and return 1k for everybuff that under 2k....People actually accept the 10k fee cause they know they will probably end up paying 6 or 7k for a full set.


I hit for 3339 for one stat and the next one is at 1090

Wait. I've got a fairly new Master Doctor, I've read the FAQs several times, and - maybe - I didn't remember reading that you need a surgical droid nearby to do better buffs. Is this right?


Darn. I've only done buffs so far without a droid, and have been really disappointed with the ranges. I don't think she's hit the 3000 mark yet. I will pull out her surgical droid if that will make her buffs better.

ANything that modifies your Wound Treatment skill modifies your buffs. Droids with a 110 (Level 6) Med Module in them, provide a +10 location modifier boost, so such a droid with such a modulethat is charged up can, indeed, provide an increase to your average buff levels.

Zarlor, I'm already wearing +25 Injury and Wound Treatment clothing.


So if I understand you right, my 110 Droid will add another +10 points to my buffing effectiveness? Because it's a "location" skill enhancement?


Or not?

I'm organizing a set of "common questions" yto pester the devs w/ outside the top 5.

More of "how does this work?" kinda stuff for things that we don't think are broken, but we have no idea how they work.

BF is on the list as well.
