I've noticed that the herb drops are now replacing my current buffs. EX: I have empower 3 and I get a herb of magic. Instead of doubling up with the empower 3 it removes empower 3 and replaces it with the herb which only lasts 2 minutes. Then I have to rebuff my self every 2mins just to get it taken away again. Same thing with the windwalk herb drop.
Hmm, I dunno I used an Empower Scroll and the herb didn't even get applied..lol.
To my understanding when you get lets say and empower type herb it should suspend the countdown of the buff or whatever. Apparently I don't think it works that way...must be a bug....
I dont get this prob, for me the herb overwrites the self-buff, then the self-buff returns when the herb runs out.
Maybe the time ran out on your old buff, or you got overbuffed temporarily, I dont think its an issue with the herbs itself (unless multiple herbs overbuffed you, or theres a problem with foreign-buffs)
Herbs are all max level buffs and they always replace a regular buff. However the old buff will return after the herb is gone if it's time is not expired.
I could be wrong, but playing on a low lvl alt it would seem that unless the herb is higher lvl (ie Haste2 herb overwriting Haste1) they don't seem to overwrite 1hour buffs (newbie buffs and scrolls I guess) if they are equal lvl. I never noticed WW herb taking effect but did with Haste buff.
If you have, say, 14 min of Empower1, and you pick up the herb, empower 1 vanishes and when the herb is gone, it comes back as 12 min of Empower1 (the buff timer keeps ticking).
It even works correctly if you buff a lower level while you have the herb. You won't see the buff until the herb drops, but then it's there with as much time as it should have.
They used to stack, now the replace until the timer runs out, then the original buff returns. Simple.
yeah
it kinda sucks in a way since with the purple herb i could 1 hit some mobs (with emp as well)
but i have to admit anything that takes the advantage away from us duel boxers is a good change
not really sure if its a bug or intended yet since patch notes didnt say anything and they did stack before the patch

Patch notes:
The effects of buff-type herbs and common buffs are not both applied. For example, if you acquire Herb of Power or Herb of the Warrior when you are under the effect of the Might buff, the effect of Might doesn’t apply as long as the herb effect is active. The existing Might buff effect starts only after the herb loses its effect.

They are designed for those who are soloing. You know, usually without buffs? Having them stack is too powerful.
Is it just me or do they only drop when you're already buffed? :p
I have to say, they do help a heck of a lot. Though I am against making the xp gains higher or lessening the amount of xp one needs per level, these herbs allowed me to grind for longer. With less worry about body to mind or stopping to take some heal potions.
I was able to get 5% last night as opposed to the 2% that I was going to settle for.

Yeah I saw you out exping. I can say I'm getting more than what I usually settle for. I was going to settle for 20% per day at 73... but now I'm settling for about 35%.
(I know I have nothing else to do, I'm on vacation :?)
