Buffs that last a bit longer

[Jinko]

Please do not increase the duration of buffs....do you want con/thm to stand around doing nothing? Actively maintaining buffs on your party while also being useful in other ways is important. The relative strength/weakness of a buff/debuff is a different issue entirely. I'd rather have meaningful buffs that require maintenance than useless buffs on long durations.

Well I assure that I work my ass of in a party and I am rarely the healer, although I will buff at the start of a leve, screwed if I'm doing it again.

It's kind of funny how melee seem to think mages are there for their benefit, if we aren't spamming them with spells we are lazy.

FWIW I can pretty much out dmg any melee my same level perhaps with the exception of an ARC.

Does this also apply to heals? Because constantly re-healing is such a chore. Once you're healed, they should make it so you stay healed. Don't make us do "maintenance" on heals, SE!

There is a huge difference between healing and buffing, mainly because if I heal a group and miss one person I can easily get him next time, if I cast protect/shell and miss them because the stupid asses run out of range then it irritates the shit out of me plus I can't redo it because there is a 1 minute recast timer.

Seriously, if you think buffing is tedious, then maybe don't play a buffing class.

WTF since when was CON a "buffing class" dunno if you noticed we have nukes aswell.

So basically you just pigeon holed a class based on 4 spells ?

And by making buffs last so long, you'd actually be making buffers *less* valuable. If I can get hour-long buffs, why do I need a buffer in my party? Just cast the buff, and then you can go afk while the rest of us do stuff.

If you don't want to buff, then my suggestion would be to not play a buffer class. There are plenty of other jobs that you can play. Find something you like, and go with that.

I have noticed that Conjurers have nukes. They also have buffs. In fact, they have the strongest buffs in the game. Thus, they are a buffing class. QED
