Thread: Who buffs mind musician or dancer?
And before you say the Dancer's mind buff is better, here's one Musician who prefers our Focus/Willpower buff. Regeneration is crucial to anyone who uses the mind stat -- and it also governs what armor you can wear. If my commando-in-training has to choose one or the other buff, he'd take Musician every time.
BTW, there's a complete FAQ on the buff in this forum. It's in a sticki'ed thread.
No offense, but I think that is just wiskful thinking on your part. The Dancer buff is much more important for two reasons.
1. Enemies can't damage your secondaries... that right there is a very large part of it.
2 ...MUON! No self respecting Bounty Hunter or Rifleman or most other combat classes would be caught dead without Muon Gold.
And since the buffs only double the number, and Muon give plus 500 to all most people don't have more than 500 in their secondaries so that effectivly doubles most people or close to it there as an 1800 mind bar vs a non buffed bar is a much bigger deal.
In conclusion... yes Musicians are awesome in fact I like them much more than Dancer... I am a Musician on Ahazi. But I'm also a Rifleman, and I understand the use Muon and a doubled mind bar... sorry but the Dancers are better.

And how long will muon last you?
Good.
Now how long will a musician buff last you?
That's right, two hours.
Angerian Fishak Suprise + MM Buff > Muon + Vercupti + BoH any day. Period.
Wishful thinking? Not at all. I don't use Muon because it has such short duration, and because the downer is so unpleasant and potentially lethal if poorly-timed. I also just don't like it from a role-playing standpoint. By contrast, as others said, the Musician buff lasts two hours. The Musician buff allows me to heal nonstop. And the Musician buff helps you wear ARMOR! The Dancer buff doesn't help at all with armor.
Don't get me wrong, if I have time, I get both buffs. But if I have only time for one, my Commando-in-training gets only one: the Musician buff. For any medic class, it's a no-brainer: Musician buff all the way.

As a dancer, even I have to agree. If you only have time for one, get the musician buff but if you have the time, get both!
I used Muon Gold 2 times, and that was for ID grinding. I probably wont use it anymore because of the downer. If I wouldve had a lasting buff for 2 hours, no downer, no puking. And also when you use Muon you run into a chance of having a downer in the middle of a fight, and if that happens you will more than likley die.
Dancers buff is awesome "Even though I have never needed one". But Musicians buff will help your secondaries, which is very helpful if your a medic, or doing something mind intensive. (ex ID Grinding, or Healing)
Not to mention Fishak is 500 mind for like 700 seconds (at least that's the stats on the fishak i use). That + a musician buff hoses a master dancer buff + muon anyday of the week.
