Mag Defense buff

Okay, well for the last few weeks, I've noticed that even with the hour long AoE buffs, my Aegis Spirit/Magic Shell buff seems to either run out (doubtful) or gets canceled before any of my other buffs are done. It's even stopped a few times prior to other buffs on other people (namely, random squad members in BH/FB/TT squads).


Has anyone else had this happen to them? Is my character glitched perhaps?

b:sad

Thank you all in advance for the replies.

    Well see, I wasn't trying to overwrite the last iteration of the buff, it was from having no buffs whatsoever to putting on the hour buff(s). It has occasionally stopped short of the hour duration.


    But if it's a known bug, than perhaps I've been lucky to not encounter/notice it. : /




    And there weren't any topics on this on the last 3 pages that I saw, so I made a new thread.




    Pretty ****ing useless for everyone to ***** about necroing threads, yet tell everyone to search the forums for them. Irony at it's worst. (this wasn't directed at you specifically, but your comment about there being 'alot of topics' incited my need to state this).



    Thank you though, for the info. :)

    Yes, it's broken. Has been since the begining of PWi.... lol...

    The problem with Aegis or mgk shell is that if you rebuff again the original timer for it does not reset.

    For example lets say you buffed up for 1h, been grinding for about 50mins & think its time to rebuff. All your buffs will be reset to last another 1h. except mgk Aegis which will have only 10 mins before it runs out.

    It sucks, u'll live with it.

    I understand that rebuffing prior to it running out will result in having to reapply the buff. And yes, it sucks and I will live with it.


    But what I'm saying, is that when I hadn't had any buffs on, I cast them all at the same time (well, in a row of course), and without reapplying any of the buffs, the magic shell/Aegis Spirit buff will randomly disappear, before the other ones are done (before the hour duration).

    Are you sure you didn't have any on?

    You sure you haven't reapplied the buffs at some point by habit?

    The timer for that buff just doesnt reset. Duno any other problems with it.

    Pretty sure I didn't have any on at the time. It was the beginning of a BH chain run. And I'm 100% sure it wasn't out of habit, as my habit is actually letting the buffs run out, otherwise I subconsciously think I'm wasting mana. b:chuckle



    And yeah, I was aware (to an extent) that the timer itself didn't reset, which is why I asked in the OP if I was glitched. xD




    Perhaps what I'm thinking of/referring to I did rebuff, and didn't realize it. D:



    I'll test it out some more I guess. :(

    You probably rebuffed yourself without realising it- or another ep did.

    actually i've had the same issue but not on a regular basis just every once in a while.

    I noticed it and that it wasnt on a rebuff because it would happen in a fb where i would buff a squad at the beginning and the magic def would drop on everyone at the same time but not the rest of the buffs.

    hasnt been a frequent problem though just an intermittent annoyance
