Thread: Panthu's Guide to Inspiration Buffing
hehe
Oh and don't forget that if you watch one and listen to another both ticks add and count.

Ok, it looks like some people are still confused on how our new buffs are applied. Here's a quick and dirty break down.
.:What's different:.
You not only can buff yourself, you do it automatically whenever you perform in an EH Zone (woot!)
Grouping with or targeting a patron has no effect at all on the process, all they do is watch... period
Your buffing ability is based on your Wound Healing bonus, not your Mind Enhancement bonus
.:What has no effect on buffing:.
If you have anyone targeted
If you are grouped
Your Mind Enhancement bonus
Your Dance or Music Knowledge Bonus
Flourishing (You don't have to do any flos at all)
The dance you do
Any tech FX you do
How much action you spend
Whether you stop and restart
If the person being buffed already has some buff built up by someone else
None of this matters at all...
.:What does have an effect on buffing:.
Your max Wound Healing bonus for the method you are using (Dance or Music)
The Wound Healing bonus you have in the other performing discipline (Dance or Music) up to what you have in the one you are using to buff
Wound Healing Clothes (BE or SEA)
Twi'lek racial Wound Healing bonus
The only skill boxes that matter are:
Examples:

Bugs and Weird Stuff:
If you stop dancing/watching before the last tick, you actually get up to 3 hours and 20 minutes of duration. If you go the full deal, a hard cap of 3 hours is set.
The EH XP you gain for these buffs is set at 10 per 10 second tick... so as you train up and improve by spending less ticks to complete a buff, you get less XP per buff.
Oh wait... that was text!
Heh, very nice guide Panthu, thanks!
30 seconds too. It doesn't scale point for point. I think it's in chunks of 30, but I'm not sure.

So how fast is a Dancing ME/MM/MD Twi with the +25 bonus?
JediLeong wrote:Thanks for the cool info.. however one question.. what affects the quality (rather than the duration) of the buff? Or is it the same regardless of what your skills are..
everybody from novice entertainer to master musician/dancer gives the same buff with the same quality, its just how fast it's given that's different
Wow.. no wonder the Entertainers are pissed off.
/hugs I'm still rooting for you guys.

what i wnat to know is there any reason to have both music and dance, is there any diference in the 2 or is there any plans to change this.
Nope! The Inspiration buff is identical in every way (except for application time) no matter if you're a Master Musician, Master Dancer, Novice Entertainer, or anywhere in-between.

Hey, no problem.
Inspiration buffs offer you a 10% bonus in experience and faction, they also boostcrafting success.
Here is the official documentation
Here are my most recent testing results
GL!

Firstly, the link to "Here are my most recent testing results" no longer works (looks like its been deleted).
Secondly, I am still confused how Inpiration buff works... This is what happened to me..
I got Inspiration buffed, 10% xp bonus etc.
I then killed a creature, it said "You received 4286 points of 390 experience (#TT bonus experience)".
I made a note of my xp before and after this kill and the differences is 3896 (i.e. received). That's 4286 minus 390. Is this a bug? Should I have received 4286 rather then 3896 instead?
