Title: Mass Buff Post by: wolfegunr on September 20, 2012, 08:33:28 am Was wondering if the cooldown on Mass Buff AA could be removed or drastically reduced to like 1 minute or something. Really no need to have a 30 min refresh on it, wont make us OP just allow us to group buff little better. Also Would be really cool if Shammy Epic cooldown was more like 5 minutes instead of 15. Would prevent overuse yet make it be able to cast if we die or wipe.
Thanks for the consideration.

Not that I care if the mgb timer is changed or not, but you can flag specific spells to not be mgb castable if you need to. Title: Re: Mass Buff Post by: wolfegunr on September 20, 2012, 11:54:25 pm Kracken costs too much to "cast constantly." Also i did say shorten mgb dont have to remove the tImer. Maybe 5 minutes is better. Also at mid to top end shammy can buff several groups at once so again dont see how mgb would affect this. 30 min on mgb is a bit silly in the end game when we have several groups each and want to buff fast and go esp after wipes.

But half the current recast would be cool shrug .. Title: Re: Mass Buff Post by: Chunka on September 21, 2012, 06:52:51 am Still trying to determine exactly how Kraken "costs too much" to continuously cast.....
Title: Re: Mass Buff Post by: Gannicus on September 21, 2012, 08:07:18 am Still trying to determine exactly how Kraken "costs too much" to continuously cast..... It takes about 2/3 your mana when you cast it, and thats in T5 on my shaman with a 4.5 Title: Re: Mass Buff Post by: wolfegunr on September 23, 2012, 03:47:28 am Quote Don't wipe... Never quoted another post before let's see if this is right...We can't all be pro like you, Brokyn :P I feel that If I'm not die'n I'm not try'n. Hell I may make that my sig... now to figure that out...

I dont mgb Kraken. Waste of a cast. I just target a member of each group and single cast. By the time the buff is about to fade I'm full mana again. If I am gonna MGB anything I do the epic click. Title: Re: Mass Buff Post by: Bobbin on September 26, 2012, 04:08:02 pm If I am gonna MGB anything I do the epic click. Could just change the SHM epic click to create a spell scroll that can be memorized, then cast as a targetable group buff. Not sure if that's game-breaking.

Title: Re: Mass Buff Post by: Blurring on September 26, 2012, 06:28:13 pm Wasn't the MGB timer already reduced significantly? I remember being very happy when I noticed it it was down in the 30m range; I don't see any reason to reduce it further.
Maintaining buffs properly can be challenging but also hugely rewarding. Most importantly it provides an opportunity to improve crews through better playing rather than aug/wealth hoarding.
