Raid Buffs* [04/13/2014] Updated: Call of the Forsaken Expansion *
Being properly buffed directly impacts your overall performance as a class.

During Freelance raids, ALL buffs are assigned to individuals of select classes, by spell name(s).


Slot Limitations

There are two windows for buffs: Short and Long term.  I'm addressing the Long Term in this document.

The Short Term window is 20 buff slots (any buff after the cap, spills over into the Long Term window)
The Long Term window maximum is 40.

Long Term buff slot breakdown:

15 Base
22 From Mystical Attuning AA
1 DoN AA Embrace of the Keepers
1 From Level 73
1 From Level 75

Buff Combos by Class

Quiet often, when I check player buffs, they are missing key ones that affect their performance in relation to their class.  A prime example is melee DPS using Brell's HP buff, instead of Ranger Predator for DPS enhancement.  Attention to detail in this area results in cumulative offensive/defensive gains overall.

Outlined below are basic buff combinations for each Class.

Will you add this spell to the enchanter buff section? this is a group buff newly introduced in HoT.

Manastorm Rk. II

1:       Trigger on Spell Cast: Manastorm Strike II (20% Chance)
2:       Limit: Max Level(90)
3:       Limit: Effect (Hitpoints allowed)
4:       Limit: Spell Type (Detrimental only)
5:       Limit: Spell (Manastorm Strike excluded)
6:       Limit: Instant spells only
7:       Limit: Combat Skills Not Allowed
8:       Limit: Minimum Mana Cost (10)

similar to mana-reiterate, but yet another additional nuke proc.  It stacks with mana-reiterate, works only on DD, and conflicts with many other effect including Resonant Fire V(http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=21856&source=Live) and so on, so probably less effective than mana-reiterate line.

for the reference, the proc triggered is;

Manastorm strike II
1:       Decrease Hitpoints by 1203

Added to Enchanter section.  There's so many stacking conflicts however, I'm just leaving it out of the combo area for now.

Dimbly:
Just as an FYI, Druids also get Mammoth Force given to shaman.

Ssark:
Going further...

Untamed Growth (shm/dru) = give to Warriors but not to SKs or Pallies; consider also monk-room-prep (think: Tick Tock) or Main Assist

Shell of the Reptile = Warriors only?  Pallies/SKs have something better?
