What is the point of making us wait 1 min to recast Swift Calm ?

[Nerill]

<DIV>After death, and while rebuffing we must wait 1 minute to recast Swift Calm while we can rebuff all other buffs immidiately.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Some sort of sick death penality from the Devs ? :smileysad:</DIV>

<DIV>at least u have swift calm ... its been on the broker for months at 20p and the guy wont lower it ><</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>but sinc calm trainquil is the same i know what ur saying ... i dont know why ... it annoys me cuz i always forget to recast it after im done buffing =/</DIV>

I don't see it as penalty.I buff everything, put in on queue, run to wherever I would go, it casts while running.

At least we can cast everything on the run. My conj has to buff herself, summon pet, buff pet, buff other players and summon mana rods for everyone, all of this without moving an inch. Stances, storm advance, everburning blaze and tranquil vision are instant cast, instant recast. We only have to wait for swift calm (and maybe focal serenity). But I understand Nerill's point : though having to wait for swift calm is dumb, it's not really a penalty.<div></div>

<P>good question</P> <P> </P> <P>always wondered the same thing myself</P>

<DIV>Group buffs generate a lot of hate.  I assume that they put the one minute timer on Swift Calm so that we don't get what would effectively be a second group taunt on a short timer.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now, why the timer resets when we die -- that I don't know.</DIV>

[Nerill]

<DIV>My point is that it is <EM>dumb.</EM> While there are other far more game breaking issues, this is just plain annoying and a fix would be nice.</DIV>

<P>Swift calm generates hate.</P> <P>Give it a try - have another tank body pull a mob while the rest of the group does nothing.  Cast swift calm.  The MoBs will make a beeline for ya.</P>
