And in fact I'd mostly like to focus on tweaks to existing skills/mechanics than dreaming up new ones.

How about making buff like Wind Warrior, Fire/Air Shield, Buffalo and any other buffs like that, have their effectiveness scale with a players level instead of being an absolute amount? This could help prevent low level players being able to advance levels too quickly by letting the 'buffs do the work' to kill stuff for them.

That'd be a neat Gadgeteer buff, actually.

When you are first able to have two auras, you get Keen Observation, while being able to cast Vim and Mystery. It's a very very clear choice with what should be that second aura. The first sometimes too.



Whoa whoa, what's with the hate on the transmog game? Not cool man. Not cool. In any case, what you're suggesting won't really fix things, since any transmog'd class can have fire shield, wolf/buffalo and WW...and then cast this buff on top of it. So you're still helping them anyways.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I left an "s" out of my post and it made it not read correctly. It should read:

How about making buff's' like Wind Warrior, Fire/Air Shield, Buffalo...

I wasn't referring to a new skill but a way to fix ones already in place and keep them from being overpowered. In no way do I hate the tranmogrification part of the game. I like it in fact and have spend the majority of my time after I hit level 50 doing just that. Now with the space content I'll probably start leveling up again.

I do believe those buffs already scale to the players level. Fire shield and buffalo do, at least. I don't think you solve any problems by reducing their power. You just make it harder for those without IotM to compete. A buff free single day run to level 9 is definitely possible
