The Buff Sticks

It seems my buff sticks no longer work with bandage. Please tell me this is a bug and it will be fixed.

for oly you can use noble buff to get btb on all classes, so its not really nerf

ever tried to cast a noble with short leg?
it's like waitng for hotpot to cooldown only by standing on table.

if you cast 5 noble buffs in bufftime, you'll be lucky (ok. i'm little exagregating, still it takes way long compared to other things)

seriously not an option lol
i used to use it to BTB and agis the golem but you can easily do 10x bandage in the time it takes to cast 1 nobless while wearing robes and with a homu
setup youserlf to buff noble buff
my friend is destroyer and he has no problem to buff both mental shield and btb before oly starts + getting npc buffs, switching armors/weapons for fr etc etc and i bet desteroyer doesnt have better casting speed than dwarf

of course i think about using dc/tallum robe + mystic w/acu (or any other cheap acu weapon), still it's not as fast as u think. (and of course, you can use +wit dye, if you have free dye slot)
i know how exactly it is fast, as I said my friend is destroyer who is in oly everyday all the time, he said its slower than bandage w/e skill he used before, but not much slower and not hard to get 2 buffs and still have time for talismans other things/skills
Was there really a need to do this. I see this change as simply stupid.

I don't understand this, maybe because I have not done oly in a while.

I use to apply btb5 using bandage (as maestro with SOES equiped), but I could only try 2-3 times (10 sec window at most) before health gets filled to max. As a dwarf, I must get my hammer equiped before that happens, or I miss the 25% health bonus it gives.

It is rare that the btb would go off in the 2-3 chances I had. Also I found that after the third buff I sometimes missed the window to get full health, so I would not get the health bonus from my hammer. Often I would lose the oly by a few hundred health.

I have not done olympiad in 5-6 months. Has something changed in how the startup works?
wear doom hvy for hp lose

well my bad.

i'm using acu weapon on shillien templar when summoning cubics, that's why i mentioned it.

of course for btb/focus/mental/regen u need to use appropriate stick.

as to HP lose, using weapon with anger is way cheaper, and also it's more comfortable to switch, and it weights lesser than complete armor set ;o))
well the point is to keep the hp u lose from switching weapons while ur buffing urself

well, FYI Anger reduces your max HP byt 15%, then when u unequip weapon, you are 15% HP short to maximum ;o))) of course orc with his high con will regen it in two or three noble buf casts, but same applies for wearing doom heavy. anyway, in doom heavy you will have 27% less casting speed than in DC/tallum robe, so not best thing, for casting noble.

and as i mentioned, doom heavy has more pieces, that one single handed weapon :)
