Guardian's Group Buffs, and their cast time.

<DIV>What is the point of it? </DIV> <DIV>Return to Battle (47) has a 3 second cast time.</DIV> <DIV>Commanding Presence (42) also has a 3 second</DIV> <DIV>Call to Battle (37) 2.0 seconds</DIV> <DIV>Call of Protection (38.6) 1.8</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If the cast time, on all of our group buffs, becomes 0.5 seconds and a longer recast time is added, the only thing that could happen is guardians can pick up aggro faster, but that is our job.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>anyway--do i stand alone in not wanding to waste seconds to cast a buff?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>for those who click buffs in combat, it would up their dps because they will be swinging more.</DIV>

sorry, could you reword that? I didn't understand parts of that.

First, in the combat revamp the majority of our buffs becomes concentration using buffs - no more 10 minute duration. i.e. the both 3-conc stances (fortified stance, desperate rush) and the 1-conc buffs (return to battle, hold the line, call to battle, call of protection). some spells get changed (anchor line) so we will have 3 30-sec buffs (like commanding presence now), helping to mitigate more. <div></div>

Ah, so not as much hate form buffs anymore? Bummer...

i forgot who wrote it air, but one of the guards said those 30secs buffs were decent agro. =)

As it is for buff aggro, 2 every 30seconds, 2 every minute, one every 3minutes, and one every 5minutes. Over a course of ten Minutes that is around 60+ buffs, looking at the new stuff, I see maybe 20+ buffs in that same time...
