- Medic 4xxx has the health buff, Doc xxx4 has the other buffs (attack speed, action regen and so on).
- Doctor buffs are 10% increase, only the duration varying with doctor skill currently (_this_ is on the list of doctor issues, though). Maximum duration with just innate abilities is 40 mins.
- Entertainer buffs are 10% inspiration, max is 3 hours.
The reasoning behind this is that a doc is supposed to go with the group on the hunt (hence the armor certificates), while an entertainer is supposed to stay in the cantina. So the doc will be around to re-buff at any time, the entertainer will not.
On the other hand, if there is a doc around to re-buff at all times, that pretty much makes using the duration as the "improvement" a Master Doc gets over a Medic 4xxx useless. Hence it is on the list of current doctor issues, and rumors are the devs are considering an increase in power also now.

Hi Guys,
One of the casual players that is only able to get on about three or four times a week and have zero experience with the CU till yesterday. I got a set of BUFFs from a novice Doc on Shadowfire yesterday and the longest set was only good for 20min while the dancer buff I got was good for 3hours. Was this intended? Is 20min the longest you guys' buffs are now going to last? Also is it only you guys still that can BUFF? I heard rumor CMs can now BUFF as well.
Thanks for your time,
JAVEWS
