I've noticed my self buffed hit points seem to vary, and with a little playing around it seems to be releated to the buff order. If I cast all my self buffs at 50, then use my imbued ring I end up with about 120 hit points less than if I used the ring before casting any of the other buffs. Has anyone else tried buff orders to see what difference they make? On a slighlty unrelated note, I have noticed that mentoring/un-mentoring requires me to drop all my buffs and recast to get the appropiate effects. <div></div>
<P>I haven't tried the buff order thing... I'll have to take a look at that.</P> <P>It's actually intended that you have to recast your buffs when mentoring/unmentoring. When you mentor someone, your maintained buffs automatically drop (to prevent you from having level 50 buffs active on your character). When you unmentor, your buffs do not drop, but they remain as if they were cast at whatever level you mentored to. To get the greater effect of your higher level, you must recast them.</P> <P>This is especially noticeable with Conjuror pets... as the pet has a specific level depending on the level of the summoner, when unmentoring, the pet remains at that level and must be resummoned.</P>
<DIV>Funny thing about mentoring is that while mentoring down, imbued weapons still seem to keep their original proc. Quite funny to have a T5 imbued weapon, mentor down to help a friend's alt and kill the mobs whenever the weapon procs hehe.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>About buff order.. never played around with it, but will certainly try now.. thanks for the advise!</DIV>

Several patches ago they removed all procs from items while mentoring (and I've never had any of my gear, weapons or armor, proc since then)</span><div></div>
