Yeah, or better yet, they should be able to buff at least twice what they can currently. If a doc can buff a consistent 1k or higher, then I think the musicians should get some love from the Devs and be able to buff a consistent 1k for the mind secondaries at least.
My two cents. What do you all think? (Also, I justfelt like I needed to create a new post for this)

I think most musicians here might agree... We all want our profession to become more useful...
But you do bring up a very good point... Another publish, another publish that completely ignores entertainer professions.
Unless you count a visual buff timer. I dont.
It seems pretty clear to me that the Devs hate us...

They don't hate us, honey. We're their girlfriends. They just don't care. Now get back into that fleshwrap and shake your fanny in the cantina. (Even Musicians shake their fannies.)No, you can't do anything but stand there and chatter, because...well, because!
Oh, and maybe if our instrument experimentation mattered, and instrument quality affected Musical Mind Enhancement, and instruments wore out after a while...that would make sense. Which means it won't ever happen. Though honestly, I'd rather have instrument quality affect fatigue healing. But that's just a personal preference.

I certainly agree that we should keep our buffing ability. I also wouldn't mind if the secondaries were buffed higher, but for my fighter's purpose, the secondary buff is already pretty terrific.
Yes, it's annoying that we have gotten so little attention post-launch. We really need new content, as I've said to the devs over and over again.
I will say, though, that the little buff icon is much more useful than I expected. When I sold buffs last night, my customers seemed less confused, and more grateful, than usual. There was tangible evidence on their HUD of the buff; not just the extent of the buff (you could always see that with CTL C), but more importantly its duration. Our dancer and doc buffed me, and again it was reassuring to see that I had two hours of buffage in front of me. The icon makes our buff more "real" to the user, and thus more valuable. I buffed a couple of groupmates last night, and one of them -- a doctor, no less -- hadn't really understood what my buff did until he saw the buff icon.

We won't lose it, it was started by a guy with that a bad experience with some jerk musician. We'll be ok though.

I am not a music player my self but I think instead of 10 mins it should be related to how long they listen. I mean if they listen for 10 mins great give them like 1.5k regardless, but if they choose to listen for say an hour, give them 3-5k or higher.
I dunno I agree mind buffs are not worth their time sometimes. I pay 6k for both of them so I don't care I am happy having 2200/1600/2200 for an hour or two.
They need to have instruments that are made to increase the results as well as bio clothes ect.

Id like to post this here, It is possible to buff a 2hour long buff, that doubles secondaries of course, in under 3 minutes. This is done by doing constant flourishes. I am sure this worked pre-publish 6 and i doubt they changed it in that patch if anyone wants to try it I have not gotten around to it yet. Somepeople, including myself, prefer not to do this becuase of sound quality.

Three minutes, huh? I've been going with 8 minutes, flourishing a lot, but I heard I could make it six.
I bought a tumbler of the new booze that reduces the time it takes to buff. Problem is, I've never been completely certain how long it takes anyway.

I've done it in 5 mins (testing) that gave a full buff for 2 hrs. Thats using my nalargon + virtuoso with 5 flourishes a tick. 3 mins you say? *rubs chin* will try that tonight
