I think a buff bar would rock but then we'd want 2 extra, one for group spells, one for single target spells (buffs only as stated), personally I say just screw this 10 spell set limit, give us infinite spell sets, its not like its exactly game breaking, it would be more of a hassle REMEMBERING what each spell set out of 100 is than actually hurt the game by giving us so many.
Anyone remember back when friends list used to be 30 or less?
30 is the lowest number i remember...but i almost remember something about being really excited when i read a patch message allowing up TO 30, but maybe i'm thinking of the current 99/100 friends/ignore system.
having over 30 people on friends list didnt break the damn game, neither will another 40 spell sets, its not like they load very fast.
I think the buff bar is an awesome idea, i hate unmeming my heals/slows/FA/panther to load buffs for the dead because some idiot pulled agro on trash mobs, or we got a big pull and people are dropping left and right (always in different groups too the bastards, couldnt they organize 1 group to die before pull so i can just group buff? =P)
Perhaps we should push for something more like this in the future, its more of a general EQ idea moreso than a shaman thing, but still something that would be nice to have, i wouldnt call it top 10 worthy tho.
