One thing I have noticed playing in the battle grounds again is the interesting specializations of Healing classes. Now we all know these specs only work in BG because of the Buff NPC’s But me and a few friends tossed around the idea of what if…
What if there were no basic buffs what I mean are no AF-D/Q . Now what mythic could do to remedy the loss of these is just increase the base stats, casting times, Spell Delves, and Weapon DPS. This would free up all healing classes to some interesting specializations that would make playing these classes a bit more interesting. WHAT IF you could get rezed in a fight and be on a semi equal playing ground. If you think about it the only reason half the people don’t accept rezzes in RvR is because they would rather go back for buffs.
Now there are a lot of calculations that would need to be put into place and I am not claiming to be a mathmatition but it’s possible to juggle stats and spell/weapon DPS and speed so that buffs are not even needed. ( In my mind they could just increase all stats by the buffed amounts but that’s just me) Side note they can move resist spells to other lines for sake of paragraphs use your imagination.
Also What if poisons were Percent based and not Delve based.
There is a lot that can be added to the subject but its fun to play in the what if world sometimes. Maybe im wrong but it is still fun to discuss the different specs and fun that could be had with these.

I hate it that there are buff NPCs in BGs. I don't know what they were thinking.
Next they will come out with free swords that kill in one hit, given free in PK.
That's one step away from Nightshades.

You sound really bitter and bad at this game.

That's what makes the game unique...

You can't just run out and beat on each other and be on the same level

Gear/stats etc all have caps - it's not just thrown on to max a never ending amount of str etc

You want that sort of thing then WoW is probably better suited to you

Your missing the point corfel, i offered stat increases as a substitute for buffs only 1 option. I am mainly pointing out that these classes would be a lot funner to play if they weren't FORCED to have Enchantment spec.

for EXAMPLE: Vampiir Buffs are automaticly on the character. It does not mess with the Gear/stats

but part of the fun is having to keep your team full buffed, ready to rock etc


I know for sure that I enjoyed playing shaman as support because my team staying up relied on me keeping them buffed etc as well as throwing out debuffs/diseases etc


Sorry but I'm just not seeing it ~

with the state of the game now, i'd be all for getting rid of every buff in the game...

dont replace them, dont increase other stats...

just get rid of the buffs... gone... no more...

every class/character is now weaker across the board, evenly...

make the game a lil bit harder again instead of the lame easy mode its become

Let me help you, 41 Cave, 35 mending Shammy. Warden, 45 regrowth, 39 blade, 35 sheild. Friar, 50 rej, 50 Staff. Druid. 32 regrow, 43 nature. The specs go On and on there is now way buffing is funner than these many many specs.

This is also a very good suggestion. See Another option

and incase ya didnt get it.. it would also include buffing npcs, potions, item buffs, buff procs/charges...

so the stats of your character/gear is all you ever have....
