Buff duration extending AAs

[winchester20]

I know we aren't exactly overflowing with spells that these would work on, but the few they would help are ones we're always asking the devs to increase the duration for. I'd get them (were they to ever become available) just for the damn pet buff.

On a different train of thought, how about some AAs that work to increase the duration of DoTs. Now, obviously I'm not referring to a huge increase in duration, but a little something that would stack with worn duration extending items. Being the kings and queens of sustained damage over time, something along this line of thought makes sense to me. Has an idea like this ever been brought up before?

I think the devs would argue that's what focus effects are there for.

Focus effects are great, I got em, so does everyone else. But that still doesn't answer the question of why we don't get the Spell Casting Reinforcement series. I mean, even hybrids get 30% extended duration. And we're pure casters. I think it'd be cool to have them is all, but we got a wish list as long as all our arms put together. Was just wondering if anyone had ever asked and recieved an answer.

Hmm, not to my knowledge has anyone asked. Check with Sauruman to see if he ever brought it up. Then when Jeb gets back we can ask him too.

A good place for your idea is on this (http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?topic_id=106013) thread on the offical site.I think its a good idea,I'm sick of having to use my shitty Hive Silk Pearl Necklace (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=83809) everytime I cast lich.

The advantage of buff duration aa's is that they work on clicky buffs (focus effects don't), buff classes with buff duration aa's can have their clicky buffs last for 150% of the time.

I don't think we'll ever get anything like that though since it desn't make any sense lore wise. Detrimental extension is long overdue tho.

FC, posted my thoughts on that thread. Thanks for the link. I rarely go to the necro boards at EQLive anymore cause they are just so dead.

After looking into it some more I found a shitty cloak in baz to use that I think is the best item nonraid.Salt Encrusted Cloak. (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=80166) 15% extention isnt all that bad
