Healing Class Changes

- Spread heal spells for the Healer, Druid, and Cleric will no longer overwrite each other in the character's spell list as the character progresses in specialization. As new spread heals are obtained through specialization, the old spread heal spells will remain on the healer's list. This will allow healing specced clerical classes the option of casting a lower level version of spread heal in situations where the power cost of the higher level spread heal might be prohibitive.

- New buff spells have been added for the three primary buff classes in the game (cleric, shaman, and druid). These spells are point blank area of effect buffs that affect up to 40 targets within a radius of 1000 units, and which are about 50% as effective as their concentration counterparts on the same lists and have a 10 minute duration. These new buff spells are intended to help more characters have access to buffs in RvR and on PvE raids.

Cleric - Enhancements Spec Line
34 Archangels Allotment (Strength/Constitution)

This looks v. nice. And from what I understand it can't be used against us or other buffing classes, but against mmmm bbotted stealther would be cool
The AE might make high enhan finally a really viable option.
I would love to see the cast times and etc.

-We have added buff shearing spell lines to the Shaman, Druid, and Cleric buffing lines. These spells are designed to be used offensively against enemy realm targets to remove one of their buffs. Characters who have a buff enhancement ripped off them via these spells will also take some damage due to the buff shearing effect. Characters who do not have a buff removed will not be damaged. Concentration and timed buffs that a character has cast on themselves are immune from buff shearing.

looks like some nice changes

[Ubbis]

Thats not love, I got a shammy and I dont like it at all, its allready annoying to rebuff people and its gonna get alot worse, not like people are gonna be happy with some gimp radius buffs in a good group. Wort its gonna be for healer tho since they are gonna have to rebuff all persons base line buffs after each fight, cause every group are gonna have a shammy/cleric/druid with them.

Yepp great :P

[Exioce]

It's a big fat mid nerf

[AtomicBattleHamster]

With regards to the buff stripping....

It's certainly not a nerf to solo bot users, just an inconvenience

Lose a buff, run back to TK and rebuff; but more than likely if you're solo you'll get AOE mezzed & ganked, stunned & ganked, slammed & ganked or nuked to death before that happens anyway. I don't often see FG's giving the average stealther or solo'er any chance to carry on their little picnic in RVR land.

Atm on pendragon - i was unable to debuf friar with his 48+11 enhance out of his buffs with 50+16 nurture druid. reports "too strong for you"

because you only have one shamie?

I don't look at it like that. I look at it like, your shamie should be high enhan. specced already so you're more likely to get the high end strip buffs...

We have to see cast times and etc tho
With such a new idea, I am sure they will tweak it a bit..


btw... running around stripping ppl in emain sounds like fun
I am not sure how the church will view this though.

Could give a teleport to mtk too then

Why? At least unbuffed sb´s rule emain!

[Roteca]

dont see how the buffstriping will affect so much for grps that already have bb's to buff them. if i understood correct conc based buffs are imune to be striped, and only affect the pbae buffs.

Concentration and timed buffs that a character has cast on themselves are immune from buff shearing.

or does it mean that thoose who have buffed themself are not affected ?

[Ralgedi Smurf]

Its just the new "aoe" buffs that need to be rebuffed, nothing else....

So you cant find infils and debuff them and laugh, would have been fun but aint going to happen :P

im 99% sure of the above

As I read it it means self-buffs are not affected.

Time will tell, as in all things - but I really hope that it strips buffbot buffs. That would be a great improvement - inconvenience botted players, without making BB's useless, while increasing the value of an enhance-specced cleric in the group (for rebuffing AND to get the offensive spells). Couple the str/con buff removal with a necro AF debuff and you'll have a very dead tank very fast.

[Jaapi]

Concentration and timed buffs that a character has cast on themselves are immune from buff shearing.

That means only aoe buffs, since all others are either concentration or timebased. I would love to see the aoe buffs using your concentration points when you're buffing 100+ peeps in a keepfight.
