So I was over at the mines yesterday slaughtering Greater Venomous Ghouls and Werewolf Spearmen when my partner tank, a tiny, furry little Barbarian named Tad_Pole calls me over for a res (not him). Okie, no problem. A fellow cleric has decided to take a dirty nap in the midst of werewolf spearman hell. Res away, wonderful, profuse thanks given freely. Back to my barbarian buddy but with half an eye on this cleric . . . who promptly starts running from a pair of spearmen. Back over for a rescue and while I am healing the poor running fellow healer I notice 'no buffs'. Do what? I think each cleric should come with a warning "BUFF YOURSELF FIRST!" because I started looking around then spent like 20 minutes buffing CLERICS! *le sigh* I think I'll go back to Battlemark and hold a class. Anyone else noticed this strange behavior?

    New players do odd things. Even old players get caught by it on occasion. b:shocked

    Buffs? Huh? *ouch*

    Yeah, ive seen a few...and a few that dont know how to HEAL themselves...ok, so your buffs might have run out while you were training, but your HP? shouldn't you kind of be watchin' that?

    Haha, this is so true. I have noticed this several times now, but than again maybe their HP charm ran out and they were hoping for magical heals from PWI Gods b:laugh

    I've also seen archers who run out of ammo in the middle of a boss fight, where they were the "tanker"... I had the same question in my mind as you now...

    Well, speaking from experience, there are some times where you just have a brainfart.

    Like going into Twilight Temple with a MP charm with just 5k left, and people expect you to hold a Regeneration Aura for 10 minutes... Or the barbarian who goes to tank but forgot to repair. Or hitting on stuff, wondering why your damage is lower than normal and you take more damage, until you realise you forgot your buffs.

    It happens to everyone.

    Especially to new players who are unused to the class. Remember - the defence buffs are actually given out fairly late, so the new clerics might not even think of using them. Or have even seen that they can get them. I've seen level 40'ies who didn't know that they could actually train their skills...

    I decided to freeload buffs from all my "friends" in this game. It saves me money and spirit....

    Oh yea, my reasoning is 100% flawless? See the perfect logic in it?
