Please adjust the length of protect and shell to 30 minutes :)

No one has posted in this because I don't think people agree with you. I don't. Most of us want the game to be more challenging, casting protect and shell and having it last 30 mins is making this game easier. There's no challenge if later on you do fight something that only lasts 30 mins and you don't have to buff the party again, its where challenge comes in. We don't have this content yet, but in the future if we did, if protect and shell lasted this long it would be too easy to confront end game type mobs, especially with how buffing adds more hate during a battle than a lot of casts, it makes it more strategic...ex) buffs about to wear off, gladiator starts to cover conj who is about to buff so it can negate the damage that would of killed that paper mage lol.

Agreed, mages already don't have to manage MP, and basically randomly spam spells without a thought in the world, at least they should have to do SOMETHING, and short duration buffs gives them something(even though its very minor) to do. Let's not dumb down the game anymore please.
