Request: Reassign a few short duration buffs to long

Post#1 » Sat Mar 16, 2013 9:49 pm

The whole pet buff slots thing reminded that this was on my mind long ago. I never run out of long duration buff slots but I frequently max my short duration buffs. Looking at the short duration buffs, there are several that are not short in the slightest.

webtools/spell.php?id=9838
webtools/spell.php?id=9100

There are 7 high end auras, bard songs, every epic 1.5/2.0 buff, and several T8 BP clickies trying to use the short duration slots. They'll never fit I say! :lol:

I know the SKs/Pallies are going to hate me for requesting this, but would you consider moving some (like the rune procs) up to the long duration slots befitting their base 36min duration?

--As an aside--
I block many buffs to meet the slot quota and was wondering:
Does my tank still earn aggro for a group rune proc if everyone is blocking it?

--2nd aside but related--
If a cleric casts DI on someone and then casts their aura, the aura buff will overwrite and stay in the long duration buff slots. Personally I think it's great when it happens, but it is a minor bug.

Thanks!

This is known. I worked with fixing it a bit a few weeks ago, but the cause of the issue goes a bit further than just where the buffs are placed in the buff structure (Normal buff window/Song window etc). I found that if I fixed the placement, then the 2nd buff would never add stats correctly. I am sure the issue could be alleviated/fixed in the code somewhere if I dug hard enough, but it's not something that is a priority right now.

As for changing the short duration buffs to long. Right now I don't think its needed. I am going to look and see if I can remove the Discipline buff slot from pets and add in another song slot so it would be 19 buff/6 song. But it will take a little snooping around to make sure that it will not interfere with other things.
Oh the fun you all are going to have in DSK3...

Played with it some... Pets now have 18 normal buff slots and 7 song slots. That should be enough imo for everything that most pet users will need.

Additionally with the next reboot:
o Guardian's Reflection (T8 Warrior pet self buff) is no longer considered a Discipline and will now go to the normal buff window.
