Buffs that last a bit longer

[RichardButte]

Yeah, buff duration should be inversely proportional to the buff's effectiveness.

Strong buffs have short duration, and weak buffs have long duration.

Strong buffs are good enough that you'll want to use them despite the short duration, and weak buffs are still convenient to use since they last so long in between casts.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Then why didn't you say that lol. You just made a list of spells. I don't get people to group up half the time if we are in mid-battle. It's not exactly necessary yet to have those buffs anyways because they aren't effective and battles are almost too short. If they are so tedious to do, have someone else do buffs. Maybe that job isn't for you

But the point is that it's bad game design to have buffs that are pointless to use.

^ Were you absent since launch? The whole game in and of itself was littered with issues and "of bad design." Saying this now, several months down the road, when it's known the issue is being worked on, is a little silly.

Nope

I know.

No it's not. It's true then; still true now.

Did you read all my posts? That's why I said make them stronger, so they are more worthwhile. Increasing the timer isn't going to do anything

Yes.

And that's why I said that increasing the timer also has the effect of making them more convenient to use, which in turn makes them more worthwhile to use as well.
