Thread: Group, 10 min & 30 second buffs

I have noticed on more than one occasion, when giving a group speed buff, the person I am giving my attention to doesn't seem to get as high a buff as the other person(s) watching. Why is this? For whatever reason, it's not cool.


I have also noticed that the 10 min buffs give a higher buff than the 30 second version. Shouldn't the "concentrated" 30 second version give a better buff?


Also, when giving a double, is the secondhigher than the first?




Thanks. Your answers/comments are appreciated.

First off, the 30 second speed buff is circumventing intentional limits of this game by using commands in a certainly non-intentional manner. This might or might not be considered an exploit by the DEVs in the future. And "it works" is hardly a justification, as all exploits "work" or it wouldn't be an issue.


The maximum buff is double value for two hours. If you don't reach that, you should add more time or more flourishes. Constant normal ( once per tick ) flourishing with Exotic4 or Virtuoso will give the max result for a passive buff in 8 minutes. If the targeted buff gives less than the passive buff for you... don't target


Double buffing could also be considered circumventing gamelimits that were not meant to be passed and therefore using a bug for your own gain -> exploit.
