Clerics look before BUFFING player!

Artemis_Star - Sanctuary

When you target a player you can see if the player is already buffed. If so, do not cast Celestial Guardian's Seal on them. You could be reducing their recovery rates if you do. Feel free to heal if looks like needed.

Agreed. Once, a well-meaning cleric buffed me and overrode my Flourish Powder. Not that I'm ungrateful, but it was a tad inconvenient.

Yeah, Clerics don't try to be helpful you might not be helpful at all... Just say oh well, lost that item and move on, woe is me, concentrate orb, life powder got wasted because a cleric was trying to be nice. Shut up and deal with the loss and be grateful for the other buffs. Orbs cost you 8 mins of farming to get 5 of them... whoops 1-3k of lost time down the drain, whine less and don't tell clerics not to help.

They are nags, nothing else, and that comes from another Cleric. The regen buff is awful. Period. There's no discussing that. One may well buff people without using that one, but no. The only two reasons I can see to so consistently use it, is that 1) you actually wants to debuff people to grief them or kill them afterwards, or 2) you forgot to use your brain.

What's buffing mean?

Ihazacute - Sanctuary

Buff - A beneficial spell cast on a monster or player. An example of a "buff" is the Priest's Physical PDef buff.

This and more found in convenient list form! Lots of terms get flung around; this should help navigate.

99% of the time, is because people aren't aware that buffs don't stack.

I have done that a few times too, until somebody bothered to tell me exactly what it was that I was doing wrong.

Imho, if you see a error, don't ignore it or groan about it, but help fix it instead. Every little bit of help goes a long way to make a player better. b:pleased

It would also be helpful if the game showed the strength of the buff in effect on characters and how much time remained on it. An example would be "increased max HP 18%" instead of just "increased max HP" This way if someone with stronger buff comes along can override it.

Clerics never buff me lol my names funny so i wouldnt blame em

G_ree_n - Sanctuary

Being the suspicious person that I am, I would question their motives. What if they already know they're not helping and that's why they do it? Unlikely, but possible ...

Another mmorpg that I play has an option to turn off aid from other players. Sounds like you could use it here.

I'm on that percentage. I thought the healing I get from diamond sutra would stack with healings I get from other players.

Good to know. THX

Samsamsimply - Heavens Tear

your diamond sutra is a completely different animal, its not a buff its a personal heal, if you hit your sutra when a cleric hits you with ironheart or something, your heal is gonna finish, and you will still get the effects of the clerics heal.

if clerics or others are just rollin by and hit me with buffs, I am not gonn a complain if I am just grinding. But when I squad, I make sure that if I am buffin the squad with my bell that I am not gonna override a better bell from a higher level. That is just something you learn with time, its ok to ask what level your fellow toons have their buffs at.

yea, I always ask the other barbs if their buffs are higher then mine, no need to buff over a lvl 10 hp buff with a lvl 9 hp buff xD

I didn't realize that I could override a higher buff from now on I'm checking before I do one when I party up thks for the information

Not necessarily. A good way to check is the buff icon. If its got the same icon, its more than likely gonna overwrite. Different icons probably wont overwrite.

For e.g. the celestial guardian overwrites the Life/focus powders, IH overwrites the Chaos powders/green orbs etc and on the other hand, the pdef increase buffs from a cleric and BM add up.
