Ranger: which self buffs are worthwhile?

[Jimjam]

SoN and Firefist?

[Solist]

SoN blocks worts.

You exist to hold aggro during a weaponshield/train away/backtag and tl box, buff rogues with CoTP.

I wouldn't listen to this at all lol. This guy seems to have fallen into the trap of being miserable on his Ranger. Those things listed are only if you are raiding. Yeah, CoTP should be cast on rogues sure. And other melees if they request. And yourself. SoN does block wort potions (healing potions) but also doesn't play nice with regrowth.

Your self-buffs are really good for what they are. Through my leveling process, I kept myself fulling buffed on my own. Only when I hit 55 and was solo'ing chardok did I really start getting crazy buffs with haste and mind buffs from passing Enchanters.

You typically know long in advance if you are going into a fight you need to use worts for.

SoN blocks Firefist and Grim Aura. Get a gob earring and Slot1 buff SoN, that way you can keep some of the benefit and the rest of your buffs if you get into a dispel fight.

They do. Firefist is the exact same buff as Grim Aura with a shorter duration. The buffs overwrite each other. SoN overwrites and blocks both. Avatar stacks with all.

Boon, wolf form, and Avatar have stacking issues due to attack being the same buff line.
