"However, we are keeping part of the capping changes: We've raised the player stat caps so that high level buff spells will not exceed the cap. Players who receive high level buff spells from friendly casters will notice this change the most. This means that races that a high starting stat (such as strength or dexterity) will now be able to buff it a bit more than those races that do not have a high starting stat."

good news for buffbot users :(

Yeah, I noticed that too.
I don't think they need to change anything about the statcap. But maybe make 300+ points usefull.

Afaik you get 1% damage increase with every 10-15 points in a stat before 250 and every 15-20 points after 250. They could make it so that it's 25-30 after 300 and 30-35 after 350 with max cap of 400 orso.

Hmmm.... Comprehension still a problem? Or is it just that the words 'buff spells' are in the sentence so you automatically spout a buffbot whine? :rolleyes:


This doesn't mean that there is any change to buffs, this means that the 300 total cap to stats has been raised so that Trolls see benefit from high starting Str, Luris and Saracens from high Dex, etc.


GOOD CHANGE

It's a good thing that race will matter to some extent, but the point is that you won't get over 300 in a stat unbuffed, hence it only applies to buffed people. :p

And? Since when was it a bad thing to be buffed? It never was.

It was a bad thing that buffs were pointless beyond a certain point (300 stat).

Okay, so now the troll zerkers can hit you 10% harder, could count that as a bad thing, but errr... :p

If I could get my will, all soloers had no buffs whatsoever. You are SOLO, unsupported. Will be pretty much impossible to get right/implemented though since soloers would group, but that's atleast my opinion on the issue.

edit: Pin: It's not bad to be buffed, it's bad that you have to pay EXTRA to be buffed, to have chance.

Guess noone noticed perhaps one of the most longed for changes. Single line respec stones dropping in one of the SI dungeons.

Buffbots are for people who are trying to make up for their lack of l33tness in the RW, by pwning everyone in the game by parking their pussbot in a PK.

I will stop knocking buffbot owners the day that they /stick their mute friend to the main, and take him roaming with you. The fact that i spend time away from the game socialising and generally spending the odd hour attending to my Real life, means i don't have time, and don't want to waste more cash on a second subscription (more money than sense? :rolleyes: )

How long since some of you bot users tried it _without_ being buffed? Has spending time with the confidence of not losing your buffs made your skills rusty perhaps? Just wondering...

heck i been ganked more than EVERYONE! :lol:

It's not the dying that gets to me anymore, i just think it would make for a much better game if there was a range on buffs, to stop people parking Buffbots in PKs where they can't be killed...

There's no way anyone can convince me that thats a big or clever thing to do, and i'd rather be pwned than become reliant on a buffbot. I do really wonder though if relying on a bot decays your talents without though, i really do.

Anyone who uses a bot and has found themselves botless (dunno, one pc won't start for example) do you find your styles and tactics have suffered as a result? I ask because if Mythic DO put a range on buffs (which ain't ever going to happen, as someone said: buffbots = revenue) would it effect many of the current users?
