Star Wars Galaxies: Entertainer Training: Buffs 101

[TABLE cellSpacing=10 cellPadding=0 border=0 bgcolor=#F4FAFF]

Ok, it has been a little while since all of us Entertainers were graciously blessed by the gods with the new buffs. For myself, I am less than thrilled with them...but I think for many it is a case that we don't know what they are for. For many that request buffs now...they don't know what it is they want or need. So, I have put together a little buff guide for your assistance.

In the order of how they are listed in our "buff book" here is an explanation of the buff and what it does.

• Agility-cost 1-30 to attribute
• Constitution-cost 1-30 to attribute

• Power Systems-cost 2--+2 to assembly of power and experience
• Security-cost 2--+2 to assembly of armor and experience
• Weapon Systems-cost 2--+2 to assembly of weapons and experience

To explain a little bit about this...you are allowed 20 points per buff. The idea is to give the best buff possible with those 20 points. If you were out fighting it might be a good idea for an resilience, maybe a critical hit, maybe a dodge and action cost reduction, and then some energy and kinetic.

An entertainer would want a flush with success to raise the experience, maybe some agility.

I hope this helps both those that perform this service and those that need it.
