Increase speed/cast range on conc buffs

I think it would be preferable to remove conc stat buffs from the game entirely and shift most of it into stat gains on level up, but sparing that:

Maybe we can drop cast speeds for each tier of buff similar to heals.

3.0s - 2.8s - 2.6s - 2.4s - 2.2s - 2.0s (for all stats, + Sham Endo, Druid Haste, Cleric AF and crap regen)

Then maybe a range increase to 1500

Rebuffing is one of the more boring parts of the game, I would welcome these changes if they come.

I thought about these things too and my suggestion would be to make conc buffs instant cast if you have been out of combat for lets say 1 minute.

Rebuffing is a necessary element that requires timing and strategy. Combined forces can be used in the interim by the recently rezzed player if the situation dictates that buffing isn't optimal at that moment.

I am firmly against making things unnecessarily easier.

Combined forces will usually be on the RvR timer. This is mostly about annoyance and hassle. I think DAOC has one of the worst buffing systems ever imagined in an RPG.

That said the proposed system rewards speccing in buff lines. Timing will still be required, and in the thick of it most buffs are simply not casting over heals/interrupts anyway. This will create more player choice for the buffer.

range and speed are fine, just make them uninterruptible.

still requires all the same coordination and consideration, but u can't be punished with rupts anymore.

same for caster shields tbh

I think the programmers time can be spent better. I don't see this as an issue. Yes I hate buffing people, but don't spend time improving this.
