Not really, because the buff is
self only and im assuming since the SM fears and roots will most likely be nerfed that the 30 secs on this one may be nerfed too if +500 is really that big of a deal.
So ...
Order of Inspiration For 30 seconds, increase the speed of Physical and Magic attacks by 500. 10 DP 1 180 Self 40
With it being only 10 DP compared to some dp attacks costing 1k-2k...who knows how it stands "power"-wise.
About the whole L2 comparison with overlords. The point i was trying to get across was that it is possible that chanter can be hybrid or dps/buff oriented. People were debating with me on whether chanter had dps potential. I simply offered Overlord and shaman from wow as an example. I never meant to label OL's as pure buffers.... i dont think i implied it but they definately have their share of buffs as do chanters.
Im trying to compare aion to as many past mmo's as i can since we cant just speculate on aions future based on L2, wow, eq, or even FFXI alone. Its the same developer as L2 but uses ideas from previous mmo's and brand new ideas. I think i remember them saying that it was mostly a cross between L2 and wow but with stronger emphasis on improving the aspects that people complained about in L2.
Although i didnt play L2 very long. Im a firm believer that aion will blow it out of the water. The year i did play i found pvp pretty boring for the most part tbh. I think what bothered me most from what i can remember was 5-10 buffers being botted so they would automatically buff allies that approached. Im pretty sure i even read that it was allowed by ncsoft as long as requirements were met. Like the bots were not involved in combat or within __ range.
Kinda takes the fun out of things.
