"You already have that effect"... that's the message you get when you try to rebuff bladeturn since patch 1.68. Where is the logic in this?

Before if you wanted you could cast-drop-cast-drop - kind of like the way you can spam group BT - to refresh the bubble at a minimal power cost.

I see, but I dont see why self bladeturn should be changed this way too. Casters rebuff self bt all the time. Now we have to cancel bt everytime we rebuff?

I always thought caster self bladeturn lasted 65533 minutes (or something like this)? So why would you try to recast bladeturn? I can be wrong tho...

It lasts 10 mins. You usually just rebuff yourself. I think that it's just another bug really.

Usually takes me 3-4 goes to get self bt back up after being hit with pbt running by someone else in group which is just plain stupid.

I suppose that this is another case of people thinking up 'nerfs'/fixes while not having actually played the class.

In related news, it seems I can't cast my self-bt when I have pbt in my group ("you already have that effect") and the pbt overwrites my self-bt. What is the logic of this, given that AFAIK archers were given an ability to penetrate all bt:s not casted by yourself?

This was supposed to be fixed in the patch when the archers got RF and PA but it didn't. This is actually very annoying indeed, don't know if it's Mythic's or GOA's fault tho.. Does it work in the US?

Logged on my little Animist after 1.68 and the self bladeturn has become permanent. Haven't checked out my cabby yet.

On my spiritmaster its duration is 10 or 20 minutes, cant remeber wich of now, but really annoying that they remade the bladeturn, when you rebuff you want to do all 3 buffs, and i know i cant remeber to cancel my bt before i put out a new one

the best way to spam bt for the grp is 10 sec pbt spam, as it takes the least mana (normal grp bt = 12%, 10sec pbt = 26 mana(not %)) and you can stop the spam, and the group is left with pbt..... you could get 2 sec pbt this way (+10% cast, mota 5, cap dex)

As I said, when I logged on my little Animist, the self bladeturn is now marked as permanent. Logged on Cabby tonight and its 20 mins. Checked Camelot Herald and it confirms this for both these classes.

Could well be, I never bothered to look before. The way I play, bladeturn is something that never lasts more than a couple of pulls anyway :D

No logic. Just shit programming and QA, what did you expect, bug free DaoC? :)
