I just wanted to get an idea as to how other MD's are handling the change to innate buffing ability. I've personally been charging 5k for a full set (Double Masterhitting for 10% each)w/Resists (similar to what Entertainers on my server charged for Mind Buffing pre-CU) but since I haven't seen any other doc's buffing yet, I can't really gauge what my price point should be. So far people have generally been receptive to this, some tipping extra, though this could be a side-effect of pre-CU prices, which on my server, were in excess of 15k at times.
So, to go back to my original question, what are the rest of you charging/think is fair now post-CU?
Thanks,
Barco, M.D.

Nothing, they last 40 minutes and cost nothing, I haven't gotten one tell asking for them, and they really aren't even needed anyways. We had a thread about this some time ago, and it all came down to whatever you want to do and whatever people are willing to do for them.

This is actually starting to worry me,
On TC and TC-Valcyn you could PvP with out buff which was fun but when I decided to get buffed by a Doc friend of mine and then eat food plus take drugs it increased my survivabilty quite signifactly!
Don't under estimate regen bonuses when stacked with other things, Doc buffs are still going to be needed by the more hardcore players who know the in's and outs but for the first time in a year it isn't going to be a neccisity to be buffed to have a bit of fun.

I charge 2k max, and that's for my time to sit there and buff them.

The second I logged in after the cu was live on my server, I had a line of people asking about buffs. Took me a little bit of time to figure it out all but I started buffing - soon there was a group of docs and we were all trying different combos to get higher than 10 percent -
I wouldn't charge anyone since the buffs weren't using up meds but people were tipping me pretty much double what I normally asked for prior to cu (10k). I think they're feeling sorry for us docs

I decided to buff for free cause lots of people are upset and stressed over the changes and relearning. I was surprised to find i got tippedeverything from 2k to 20k, even tho I said it was free. Seems the tipping culture is alive and well.
I won't expect as much cause buffs are shorter and I don't have to buy a bunch of meds to do it. I'm thinking 3-5k a set is fair.

In addition, may I add, sorry slightly off topic- buff are worth something.
They make all the difference when the combat profs are out there with specials. Trust me, I've been thanked lots of times, verbally and credit-wise for my buffs.

Same thing happend to me. I didn't charge anything as i didn't have to pay anything for meds. Maybe when enhancers finally increase the efficency of the buffs as they are supposed to (i think) then i will charge a few k creds for a set of buffs.
