Another reason the doctor analogy doesn't work is a doctor takes 10 minutes to buff 2 stats of an entire group. When we buff a whole group, it doesn't take any longer to do than one person would.

OK guys i m new to musician, and i have gotten almost never gotten buffed before due to the lack of musicians to be found on my server. But 2 things, i thought buffs took 8-10mins, but u guys r talking about 4 mins and 30 seconds. whats the deal with that? And just a lil side not, doc's also have to spend more skill points and use materials, more time and money to make buffs, musicians get an intrument and go to town lol.

No they don't....see my thread fro the 3 min 10 second one, and there is a "potential exploit" one that takes 30 seconds.


BTW...NJ? Have we heard anything?

Well on the resource front, you are correct...buff packs do take more than instruments. However, it takes a great deal of time and effort to master music, as it does doctor. Doctors do get other useful skills. They can buff six stats...we can buff 2. They can heal 6 different wounds...we can heal 3. We can heal battle fatigue...but only in specific places. We can buff and heal wounds in more places than BF , but you must be in the camp or specific building. Docs can heal wounds and buff anywhere they can pull out a droid.....so anywhere. Docs can also healDamage on 2 pools in different ways....we can't even heal damage on the one we can heal if wounded.


In terms of buff strength...docs could buff the same levels we do with garbage resources. I buff at 116% and people are amazed that it is that good....Amazed that I buff music for 580 points (based on an average focus or willpower or 500). A doc buff gets sneered at if its less that 2000. I'd love to do a 2000 point buff. If it took smashing my Mandoviol in a heavy metal fit and needing to make a new one...I would.


...and on skill points...if you have ALL the music, ALL the songs and ALL the instruments....it takes the same points as Doctor.


Basically I just think that the devs will do what they do.....and hope they don't remove more than they put in. Things are workable as is in terms of buffs, but I'm sure they will change and then we will have to adapt.

Well I'm not NewJedi, but we're still waiting on an answer. Hopefully soon.

What Tiaga said. We've both been pressing the devs for an answer, and we don't have one yet,.
