The original Interlude buff slots limitation(20+4 including Songs and dances),
in this Custom Interlude version is not only an incorrect decision but also a detrimental one to the overall game balance for the following reason:
Even on the original version the buff slots limitation causes alot of issues to balancing of classes,
as it is well known Mage/Healer Classes uses in general way less buffs than fighter classes(daggers as an exception) who also on average have more self buffs that takes slots.
Example for a mage class offensive buffs: Berserk Spirit(optional), Acumen, Empower, Wild Magic, Prophecy,
Dance of Concentration, Dance of Mystic, Dance of Siren, Song of Renewal and Gift of Seraphim.
Example for fighter class offensive buffs: Berserk Spirit(optional), Haste, Might, Focus, Death Whisper, Guidance, Prophecy,
Dance of Fire, Dance of Fury, Dance of Warrior, Dance of Inspiration, Song of Hunter, Song of Renewal, Song of Champion and Gift/Blessing of Queen.
9-10 buffs for mages
15-16 for fighters who relies on autoattacks Archers/Titans/Tanks
[9-10 for fighters that are not reliant on autoattack have no need for Accuracy or Critical buffs(Duelist/Grand Khavatari)]
(not including utility fighter buffs like Vampire rage/dance of vampire)
As for essential buffs that every class uses:
Windwalk, Shield, Magic Barrier, Bless the Body, Greater Shield(or Greater might), Mental Shield, Resist Shock, Elemental protection,
Song of wind, Song of Earth, Song of Warding, Song of Vitality
(not including reflect buffs (chant of revenge/song of vengeance)
About 12 buffs even leaving some buffs out and not counting Self buffs.
Adding up the numbers you can see the issue here, which gets worse in servers that have mana pots, that without them would force mages to get buffs like Bless the soul, Clarity and Song of Meditation.
No wonder the following version after interlude basically added 12 buff slots by separating Songs/Dancesfrom main buff slots.
And this Mid-rates Dex Interlude custom version has even more extra self buffs, if it wasn't for the smart choice of making debuffs/trigger buffs not count towards the buff slot counter it would be even worse.
With this thread, i would like to recommend the server staff to increase the buff slots by 12 or to make the separation of song/dances to their specific 12 slots, for the reasons stated above.
