The infamous idea of putting range on buffs. Let's say 6000 range, to minimize the loss in hp should the shammy ever fall behind etc, 2000 units isn't always enough.
This wouldn't affect stealthers as much as you'd think as a buffbot is more or less mandatory today anyway, just leveling the field for people who can't afford to own it/run it.
This would however, benefit the realms who have their main buffers as a class which you can have many in a group (hibernia and albion) and force mids to either:
1. Break the cookie-cutter group with 3 healers, skald, shammy, <insert 3 tanks of your choice here> and use 2 shammies instead.
2. Sacrifice buffs in forms of endregen/specline buffs on targets. I.e only give end to tanks, have seers running with dex/qui, sacrificing endregen or str/con in the process(wee my self str/con will live again! :great: )
Either way, this coupled with a slight savagenerf (coming directly to your doorstep in 1.65
) would in my opinion change the most overpowering thing that is midgard today(and yes, the insta attackspeed debuff nerf will be live in 1.63
).
As most groups would probably go for option #1 they would either sacrifice frontload power, going with only light tank/skald(and to some extent warrior) to deal the damage, sacrifice surivability in the form of either 1 mendhealer, or the warrior.
Also this would make up for the long overdue problem with 2x shamans in a group being next to completely useless.
Anyway, opinions? It's 6am and this just came to me, had to write it down somewhere. Do not think this will happen however since Mythic is making a pretty good buck of the buffbot account and in the end, that's what counts.
Good night, will be happy to read replies tomorrow
