Buff duration is too low

Gameplay Feedback General Feedback

Most buffs across all classes have 100% uptime, but the duration is way too low, so you spend a good amount of time rebuffing yourself.

It goes like this:

“Buff,buff,buff,hit,hit,hit,hit,hit” and repeat

Now what’s the point of low duration for buffs if we have 100% uptime anyway, other than annoying the players? This is becoming a nuisance, especially in a grind-oriented game.

Look at Wizards “Quick Cast” or “Surespell” buffs. Both have 100% uptime, but only 15-20s duration.

I won’t even mention the cleric, priest path. This must be hell with gazillion short-duration buffs. You you cleric guys even have time to fight?

Agreed. It makes me feel more valuable as a buff-centric class, but it’s silly that I spend about a third of my time recasting short term buffs/debuffs.

You’re generalizing a bit.

Buffs like sacrament lasts ~4 minutes and you can get them for ~1 hour from pardoners in town. Same for aspersion.

Oracle buff also lasts 30 minutes.

But strong buffs like Monstrance, Quick Cast and Sure Spell only last ~20 sec because they are waaay stronger. That’s their drawback.
