question about druid bb spec

[Perf1]

How easy is it to obtaim items from Toa to get +25% buff increase.?
and when you have the items are red con spec buffs required or do you respec to yellow con spec's and get the same buffs?
its somethin I'm thinking off because more regen on bot would be useful.

You can can with 25% on yellow buffs. Think you may need mastery of arcane 2 too.

Very easy. My bb has items that give 28% at the moment, the cost is not that high, obviously you're not going to rvr with those items however. Your yellow specs will be as good as red ones at level 50. Hence you can easily go for 40 nurture 36(not sure) regro.

Hmm... might even want to consider moa 1 as well just to be on the safe side.

I have got moa 2 but do we lose this with NF?

If you go 44 nurt 30 reg, you both get the first spreadheal, and can cap with just 25% buffbonus. You also get some nice shreads and ae-buffs. If you just go 40 nurt, you won't cap on your yellow str/con buff without MoA2, even though you have 25% buffbonus. Below 40 and you'll have a hard time capping the blue dex/qui buff, wouldn't suggest that for a bot.

If you go over 44 nurt (to 50 that is) you will get slightly better ae-d/q buff, a red haste (haste isn't affected by buffbonuses), better resists and a some shreads+focusshell. But then you'll have a pure buffbot.

If you want to try rvr with it though, or use it in PVE groups, 44 nurt is the way to go.

In summary - with just 25% buffbonus, you cap the yellow d/q and red str/con. With MoA2 as well, you can cap on the yellow str/con afaik. And the buffbonus is pretty easy to get, atleast if you don't worry too much about about what the bot is wearing

Haste buff does not work with the toa bonus so you have to spec 50 nurt for the red 1

My bot has 50 nurt 25% buffs and moa 1 it caps d/q with yellow, but it needs to cast red s/c to cap it.

Druid with 44 Nurture and 25% buffs can use those buffs to do cap:

- All yellow buffs except str/con and con base, they should be red.
- Haste dont work with +% buffs.
- Int dont cap from 44 nurt + 25% buffs, u miss around 5-6 pts

 

[Teslacoil]

You need 25% buffs ( 25% is CAP ) and Mastery of the arcane 2 to cap all yellow buffs except acuty and base str buff ( base str is 92 and 94 is cap so use red if u wanna cap str out ) and acuty buff has an alot higher cap then any other buff , and yes haste isn't covered by MoA and +% buffs .


hope this helps to all of you with wrong specs.

25% buff bonus is very easy to get.

ml9 drop stardrop (gem) has 20% buffbonus and can be bought for a couple of plat. Then there are lots of quest items with 5% buffbonus or rogs (lots of nice shields drop from the ml5 crocodile with 5-15% buffbonus).

My buffbots 50 nurture for the red haste, but the 44 spec is almost as good, and is very viable in groups

This site has nice info on buffs:

TBH none of it really matters. If youre making a BB then thats all it is a BB so just go 50 Nurt and stand in DL.

If youre not making a BB then that is a different matter and you might want to think harder about the specline you want for fun instead of for buffs.

 

[dohhhh]

44 nurture for capped buffs (with toa itumz) and then put rest in nature to get a blue dshield Atleast if you got a stealther.

Actually you only need 42 Nurt, not 44. 42 Nurt gives you the final acuity buff, which is needed since technically acuity doesnt have a cap. With 25% and mota3 (or possibly mota2) you cap using yellow str/con and dex/qui and yellow baselines. This allows you to go 33 Regr which gives you the second last major heal and a very viable rvr spec.Your only real reason to go all the way to 50 Nurt is if your main is a melee class and the extra % haste is that important to you.

Personally, my bb is specced 42/33. I use it as both a bb and a proper druid for farming/grouping in pve.

40 Nurture - 36 Regrowth

40 Nurture + 25% Buff Bonus = Capped stats on templated characters
36 Regrowth = 75% Insta's [ Group / Single ] Plus my Druid heals with spec heal for 707 constantly, never use the lower heals unless trying to avoid aggro from focus'd mobs, nice spreadheal [ Been Nerfed?! ] , better cure disease / poison incase resisted.

Overall i think = win

Stardrop should be quite easy to pick up for around 500g, If your character isnt completely templated and you want to use your druid for more than just a BB then use the spec above, the points you lose out on by using the extra nurture shouldnt be noticeable.

wooah! way to bump an old thread.

40 nurt+25% buffs will not cap acuity OR haste OR Str/Con (though with the str con its only a few points granted..but its for BB after all?)

44 nurt enables you to cap all apart from haste (part time BB)

50 nurt gives you everything as high as poss (full time BB)

 

[Punishment]

lol thats some bump

I was like ... yey ... Khefru is back

well, acuity wont cap iirc, it cannot cap as buffs because of too low value
