<div></div><p>Wizards can put a damage proc on us - fire damage I think - and they buff STR and INT, both very useful. And inquisitors put a buff on us that helps us help them - the Inquest line, which has a chance to proc a powerfeed off every successful attack. My inquis friend turns me into a crazy power generator for him, and I love it. It rocks to have my attacks keep my healer at full mana. Inquisitors can also single-target buff overall DPS. Furies can buff melee'ers too, but I'm not clear on the nature of those buffs.  </p><p>By the same token, let's talk about who can debuff for us, and who we can debuff for. For instance, our Forester's Noose snare reduces Heat resistance by about 1200 at Adept 1, and for some reason the wizzies really like that. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<font size="3">Brigands.  They have what I think is a 30 second mob debuff which reduces physical damage resistance of a mob by something like 3000.  Brigs get this spell at 55.Wizzies will also appreciate it when rangers use heat/cold debuff poisons.  Two wizzies in my guild both got their highest Ice Comet hit last week.  They were talking in raid chat and wondering why IC was hitting so hard for both of them that night.   I told them I was debuffing the mobs cold resistance with poison.  They were very appreciative.</font><div></div>

[Owlbe]

<div>Fury's can give out two nice buffs....</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>The  savagery line of spells grants +str/agi and procs for haste & +dps</div><div>The verve line grants + int and + power</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>

[Kala Asuras]

<div></div><p>Similar to the Inquisitor buff mentioned above Templars can also get a hand from our procs.  Glory of Combat is a group heal that is triggered on succesful attacks.</p><p>Berserkers also give +str and the chance to go berserk.</p>

[Hexus]

<div>Guardian - Assuage (Reduces Hate and gives a nice avoidance bonus if you do happen to get aggro)</div><div> </div><div>If you have this buff on, you can do HUGE dps and not pull aggro, combined with Improved Surveil and Elude, can keep the mob off you while doing 1k + DPS all raid long, sustained here people, not burst.</div><div> </div><div>Hexus Lupis - 60 Ranger</div><div>Valor - Kithicor</div>

[Colossaltitan]

<div></div>Wow... Great stuff.  Considering our group buffs consist of Pathfinding, it is good to see what other classes are able to do.  A huge help!

They are aimed towards the formation of raid groups, so single target buffs that can be cast cross-raid are not listed there. Also, he didn't list the short term (say 30sec) buffs that are often group buffs.Just so you know. They are great charts though. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Erm, and so I add something to the thread.Illusionist buffs that might help a ranger:Haste - single-target (uses 1 conc), around 50% autoattack haste, depending on spell level.Of course a few mana regen spells, including a short term buff that makes everything cost about half of the normal mana cost, plus int/wis (1 conc) divine/magic/mental (1 conc) buffs, plus some others that aren't very important. Unfortunately, like bards, we start to run out of concentration very quickly, so not all of this can be up at once. I could put dynamism on 5 people, and then have no concentration left for anything else, since it's not a group buff.<p>Message Edited by Impetus on <span class="date_text">01-26-2006</span><span class="time_text">05:33 PM</span></p><p>Message Edited by Impetus on <span class="date_text">02-01-2006</span><span class="time_text">08:48 PM</span></p>

<div>From Shadowknights, you get these for the group</div><div> </div><div>1 Lifetap, concentration buff</div><div>1 Str and Sta Upgrade, concentration buff</div><div>1 Lifetapping heal, cast situationally.  I'm never gonna cast it on you, Skeetar, though... You steal aggro too much and I feel like letting you tank it till you splat or we win!</div><div> </div><div>Death March.  for 15 seconds you are immune to all the bad things that mobs can do except damage. (Mez, charm, fear, stun, stifle) and you get a huge (105%) DPS increase for that time.  The 15 seconds starts when a mob dies.  Just think what that might have done for a group if we had been just about to kill one of those ewer things when vorm pulled the gnoll...  hell, I just thought of that and wish that I had last night.  Gonna have to post that on our boards.</div><div> </div><div>Graven Embrace (aka Targeted Feign Death).  If you steal aggro, I can make you fall down and lose aggro, 85% of the time.</div><div> </div><div> </div>
