What buffs should we expect from other classes in groups?

[Curthali]

<DIV>I duo with a shaman mostly but sometimes when I group with clerics or druids I can't tell if there are spells that should be cast that have been missed. </DIV> <DIV>From shaman (level 40+) I expect a Spirit of Rhino, Umbral something, Omen, and another shield icon (forgot).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just want to make sure we have everything we can use when fighting.</DIV>

<P>I've been in groups maintaining some serious buffs, but recently I switched my resolution to the highest possible 1900xwhatever.  I also stretched my buffs window vertically from the top to the bottom of the screen and when in Lavastorm the other night I noticed the whole thing was full and the last icon at the bottom was cut in half.  I actually needed a scroll bar or the buff window (not included).</P> <P>I hadn't grouped with Illusionist a lot before but they sure do seem at high levels to have a high volume of buffs <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  When the Illusionist said "starting buffs" someone in the group said "OMG .. taking a smoke break then back in 5!"  If I recall correctly, the smoker was back before the buffs were finished!</P> <P>Man it's fun to tank or dps when other group members are feeding you a constant supply of power/mana.  You can mash every button you have and not dip below 40% mana if that low.</P> <P>Thanks,<BR>Kalen</P>

<P>I know exactly where you are coming from on the uber stats.  I joined a group and took over as main tank after soloing and duoing for a few weeks.  I had almost forgotten how awesome large group buffs were.</P> <P>I examined the guardian outgoing and noticed 2 levels below me his stats blew mine out of the water even though we were wearing the same gear!  I couldn't figure it out for the life of me and was truly puzzled for a few minutes until I examined myself again for a closer comparison and noticed insane mitigation, crazy resists, several stats pushing the upper 200 range, HP galore--then I felt better as I put it back into perspective .. "oh yeah I'm in a big group again with lots of people tossing buffs on me."  It's easy to forget if you just solo or duo for extended periods of time.</P> <P>Thanks,<BR>Kalen</P>
