<DIV>I am a level 44 Berserker. I noticed yesterday after tha patch update that most my personal buffs can not be refreshed with out cancelling them and forcing me to wait out the reuse timer to cast them again. I know this sounds confusing so i'll give an example. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Pre-Patch- I have a macro that casts Weapon shield and Greater Fury. The timer on the buffs are 3 mins but you can keep them on you all the time by recasting them before they expire. If they expired you had to wait for the buff to recharge to cast again. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Post-Patch- I cast the same macro casting the 2 buffs on me. But this time when the buffs are half way expired and i re-cast the macro it cancells out the buffs completely and make me wait the 40 seconds for them to refresh in my tool bar to cast them again.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I tested this out by recasting the buffs as soon as they recharged and it dose this every time. It is now impossible to keep them on yourself with out a min wait time in between.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. i pretty sure I read in the patch notes you can now refresh buffs that already occupied a concentration slot without if needing to wear off. Nothing about buffs not being able to be re-casted on you with out the actual buff running out. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Was this intentional? IMHO this is a major slap. Not like there isn't too much wasted time in this game , camping , healing , now add in a few extra mins. in between pulls and you've got 5 people in the group complaining about not pulling fast enough. Just what we need more sit around time. This needs to be fixed. </DIV>
