Thank you for coming into a thread about buffing and sharing your expertise.

You can go back to the Land of Half-Rate Enchanters or wherever it was you came from.

youre very welcome maam

There's merits to charming some casters, but for the most part - pure melee mobs are much better since you don't get the DPS loss and Pell-spam that Freez mentioned.

You do run into scenarios where you need to charm a mob due to it's location, and whether or not it is a caster is irrelevant. If you HS or Seb farm items like a pro - this is actually the case the majority of the time - you use what's there.

There are also mobs that are casters that simply have way better stats than other mobs of the same level.

Anyhow, back to OP - STR melee DPS, STR/STA/DEX the tank, and tell everyone else to fuck right off.

If you are always grouping with an enchanter, you shouldn't be buffing haste anyhow, the enchanter should. As far as Strength goes, let's say it only boosts the each melee toon's dps by only .05 dps. Not much you say, but let's do the math. 3 melee toons in your group, so that's .15 dps which is 9 extra damage a minute and the buff lasts 45 minutes, so you get 405 extra damage. Not bad for 180 mana. That's more damage and mana efficient than your dots and I'm being extremely convervative on how much strength boosts damage. Maybe I'm wrong though.

So you have an enc in the group and you're the one doing haste? And then you whine about having to do a str buff every 30-60 min, a buff that is actually wildly mana efficient compared to any form of dps you may have? Fuck off, scrub shaman.

That "group" was thrown together by my imagination. Way to get upset over a random example. Fuck off, scrub forum quester.

You picked the group, not me. So don't get upset that you failed to recognize that when you have an enchanter in group, you no longer need to worry about haste. That's a fair bit of wasted on mana on "your spell would not take hold" messages.

Unfortunately that would be externalizing it (showing them). You need to harbor that anger deep within your being and maybe make angry posts on the boards about it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Extremely conservative is right. It's probably more like 1-3 dps difference in the mid 40s, putting the efficiency at something like 50-100 damage per mana.
