[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 922142, member: 3146"] I think the thread is about whether extend spell is still useful; not whether reducing the buff duration was a good idea or not. Regardless of what I may think about your reasoning and arguments on the latter subject, I think it's clear that most dungeons are either: A. Small enough that you can clear them in under 10 minutes (assuming you don't stop to search, etc)--in which case, Extend Spell really isn't necessary or helpful for min/level buffs. or B. Big and trapped enough that they take half an hour or longer to clear in which case Extending min/level buffs won't help at all. (And 10 min/level buffs don't need to be extended). Dungeons bigger than that, IME, yield the same kind of experience as overland travel encounters i.e. buffs need to last 5+ hours before extending them helps them last through multiple encounters and be available in unanticipated encounters. Extending min/level buffs won't be helpful in any of those instances. [/QUOTE]
