The Hidden Forest

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.

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!

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.

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.

Thank you, sir!
