Raider Essentials / Raid Buffs - Hercules Edition
« on: March 02, 2011, 03:51:27 AM »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.
