Provisioner Counterspells

[Wodo]

This is one of those situations which makes providing feedback difficult for me.  I do not know if this observation, see below, is intentional or a bug. The three provisioner counterspells which increase progress the most are the level 2 Constant Heat, the level 40 Familiarity, and the level 20 Pinch of Salt.  The increase durability counters are all higher at level 30 than level 10.

The other day when I /bugged the no exp on the green combines, I was comparing the level 0-9, 20-29, and 40-49 progress buffs.  I found my fastest combines were with the 2 non-power 20-29 progress buffs and the 40-49 progress buff only.    THis was for both subcombines where I could use the lowest quality and pristine combines where I wanted to maximize exp.

I think the progression of the progress buffs are intentional, but as they stand now, the 40-49 buffs are a waste.  Takes far to long to finish a combine/product using them with the pristine goal in mind.  Yes I may have the 5 to 6 percent failure rate at my fastest speed, but if doing multiple stacks, I would prefer to compete a stack in under 5 minutes compared to using the 40 to 49 buffs and doing the same stack in 30 to 40 minutes or more.  Cuts down on the sheer bordom.

This does appear to hold true for other than provisioner also wherre I was checking the effects with the other tradeskills.
