Stealing Buff Mastery

Hey Basilers,
I was wondering why if stealing Buff Mastery from Archmages would be a good idea. The Magic Attack buff is obviously useless, but wouldn't the buff duration increase be useful? Or is the increase negligible, or something? Thanks in advance.

@Chwoosh:
(If your going to steal anything S.E should be priority the second really is up to preference since 20% crit+30% crit damage > 30 wep att and a slightly lessened mp consumption especially when your phantom and crit gives you additional proc chances )
@MLPFiM
to the both of you
thats true but if your buff muling you don't need the other buffs usually HS is priority and this is the build I'm using which is the S.E/Buff mastery set.Which
I use the majority of the time and currently I have stopped using Buff Mastery since I just use HS/Combo for 3rd/4th impec while in a party
who needs HS. But mostly buff mastery just takes the annoying parts out especially during boss fights when you have to buff every minute and
it usually takes a good 10-20 sec to fully buff(no rope). But it really depends on your preference. I like combo+HS rather than HS +S.E only because
I like blue orbs circling me.Just saying

IMO<--Buff mastery just makes your buffs consistent with each other

Doesn't buff mastery only apply to the person using it? So wouldn't it be pointless on a buff bule?

I use it when I am buff muling or we have a person who can S.E. Its really only useful during those two scenarios[/quote]

Wouldn't it be better to steal something like advanced bless and just pay attention a bit more?

I don't think it works, I stole it myself, and the buff doesn't increase any time. I may have timed it wrong tho

If you're living your life as a buff mule then sure Buff Mastery is useful.
If you actually plan on making yourself useful as an attacker steal Sharp Eyes.

It's possible to steal Buff Mastery. If it's useful, I don't know.

Buff Mastery's buff duration increase is a toggle skill, not a passive skill. I don't know if it can be stolen.

Uh...I'm pretty sure Buff Mastery is a passive skill, phantoms can't steal passive and summon skills

Edit: nvm, it seems that you can steal it

Buff Mastery is used for the buff increased duration.
