1) Have them able to buff mind/focus/willpower like doctors do. This should take like5 minutes and last 30mins to2 hours(at master). This should require some sort of disposable item, like musician stimpack.
A master can increase the mind by 1000 and focus and willpower by 500. It can only be done to one person at a time.
The way it is setup now takes way too long and lasts too short.
2) Have musicians be able to play in a group and while in combat. While playing in the group everyone's focus and willpower is increased by 100-400. It thengoes back down gradually in 60 seconds when he/she stops playing.
3) Give them the power to stop mind bleeds in combat by playing a special song.

i definetly agree i am a master musician and have been for about a month
it is a pain to keep people in a line for buffs waiting for about 8 - 10 mins each person before them
i think a master should get like some specalflourishthat buffs them
and i like the curemind poisonidea

Getting greedy are we? What about dancers, who only buff mind? You seem to be forgetting you're not the only ones who buff, we dancers do too. I'm a Master Dancer, and two boxes from Master Musician, so I am, indeed, a musician as well.
We're not in this for the money. If it's about the money, you really ought to think about a new profession.
Leave musicians buffing the substats and dancers buffing mind. One profession isn't supposed to get all the glory.

I'd just like to point out that this original post should be taken within the context of when it was submitted.
The Original post was dated 9/22....5 months ago.
I will not say that the buffing process is perfect or could not be improved, but the original poster was suggesting improvemnets to the buff system of THEN. For those of you not arround then, here were some of the "features"....
- Buffs lasted 20 minutes if you were lucky, more often 10 minutes, and it didn't matter how long you listened,at leastnot so I could tell.
- To get a buff, you listened to a musician.....ANY musician!!! Grouped or ungrouped, with their knowledge or not. There was no /setperf then so like a group buff today, but you could just walk in and listen to any musician.
- Buffs could stack, which was cool, but with a 20 minute duration.....not very useful.
He was soon pleased, I hope, with the October publish that brought in the new Buff system, however he still needed to deal with these "features" that have since been fixed.
- Music buffs used to occasionally increse the stats, but not fill the pools so a master buff of 500 focus should buff to 1000/1000, however it often buffed to 500/1000.....and wouldn't go away til the buff expired or you died (maybe, and the death bug still exists). A dance buff of this issue was OK as mind refills automatically.
- Buff times were still long, 8 minutes average, and noone knew what controlled the buff times(though thishas recentlychanged, and through no Dev interference)
So put it in perspective please. I have done buffs in Buffs 1.0 (the time the original author is referring to) through 2.0 (October Update), 2.1 (Fixes to the MAJOR problems in the October Update), and now what I'd call 2.5 (Visual feedback on duratrion and other minor changes). There will be a 3.0 version of buffs, and it will completely change everything I'm sure, and probably break a few things too. When it happens, we deal.
Look through the buff FAQ for current info on the state of buffs, and the Buff Bug list for the current problems and suggestions. Also, do check out the "QuickBuff" post (thanks for the "sticky" NewJedi) in reference to speed, it worksfor dance as well asmusic,and even a suggestion for AFK buffing (though I think that is pointless and not in the spirit of the game).
