Is there any way buff pots can be looked at to improve them?
Firstly I played with at least 1 buffbot on live, for a time I had 3 bots for various buffs and I much prefer buff pots, its more of a level playing field and far less hassle for everyone.
Classes are balanced around 8 man, which is fine, it makes absolute sense because it is a constant number, and it would be impossible to balance for solo or for zerg.
However...most classes are designed to be buffed and to be fighting buffed players. I feel it could iron out some complaints about solo/small man play while not really changing all that much for the overall game, groups/zergs would still need support/buff classes.
(Hib POV) I realise some spec lines have benefits, which would be watered down slightly, for example champ str/con, ranger dex/qui, AF and str self buffs but champs would still need high valour for debuffs, and it might actually help rangers and make hybrid more attractive, rather than being forced into high archery and high PF, especially at low RR.
Perhaps even add a condition to them where PVE side they are as they are now but in the frontiers make them base level high tier (MoArcane no longer affects them anyway) in the RvR zones.
