I know its hard to believe but some of us do play unbuffed,......sometimes and those very few who do what do you think of power boost? I think it is more of a "neat" thing than actually useful, at this point. Although it does help when I am taking on Sharnaf’s unbuffed. It would help if it boosted the secondary stats and lasted say 30 min(seems like 10 right now)IMO I am a TK 3/2/1/1 going to master at least until the great CN er I mean C”U”

What I was thinking instead of nerfing buffs and crud like taht just put a cap on a persons health judging by there original HAM bars. Say use this formula:
Human - 800 health
Times- 3
Makes -2400
So your character with powerbosot can concentrate his mental clarity to that point and no higher. You would have to maintain a constant meditative focus in order to reach this point. Can't do it like now where you plop down turn on powerboost and get back up. Then if you want to add in buffs to this formula all you do is make it times 4 so you can get a max of 3200 health. *Note this is all before you eat food and such*
Now some people may this this isn't fair because Teras Kasi's would then be able to PvP unbuffed but here is how the logic to that works. If a Teras Kasi does a minimal alloted powerboost of 500 points focus then lasts 20 minutes. Now if we double that clarity it would only last 10 minutes. Then so on so forth like so:
500 - 20 miuntes
1000- 10 minutes
2000- 5 minutes
Max - 2-3 miuntes
For a TK to kill someone with out uber VK's it typically takes that long so now he's on a downer and an easy target not to mention this hwole time a normal player has 2k+ Secondaries while where just out there with nothing but our primaries eating ourselfs up while there is no secondaries to help us. Also Sorry bout highjacking your post there buddy. Just my opinion : )

hm... i do think it'd be nice if powerboost was a little bit stronger. It would help a lot after the CU if the "buff nerf" rumor is right.
Right now i just keep my character's stats at:
800 health
450 strength
400 constitution
800 action
450 quickness
400 stamina
800 mind
450 focus
900 willpower
at least... i think that's what they're set at. Not in game right now so the numbers might be off 
With powerboost i get up to 1200, which is enough to solo a lot of stuff unbuffed. With the right foods it gets even higher, and I can actually get equal to regular buffs with food and powerboost. A lot more pricey though.
Basically, i'd like to see it double our base stats for half an hour, and take about 5 minutes to boost.
So if you had something like:
800 health
900action
1000mind
it would powerboost to:
1600 health
1800 action
2000 mind
But make it so powerboost cannot be used if you are already buffed, and if you have powerboost active you cannot be buffed. That way we wouldnt be stacking a high powerboost with these ridiculously powerful buffs out there. And if it lasted for half an hour we could actually get something done during the time we're boosted.
Currently, My boost runs out 9/10 times while im still in combat, and i end up dead.
You wont have to worry about your"special attacks usage"secondaries, since we're supposedlygoing to have a "special attacks" bar that covers it so we can no longer spam specials, at least to any great extent.
I'm also a creature handler, so having pets to tank while hunting unbuffed helps a ton
