Un-mentioned nerfs?

I ran into one case and was wondering if there is anything else.
So far I saw that Epic Adventure is no longer affected by %buff duration+, which I have from 3 sources- Inner Ability, our skill and mechanic character card.
Infinity, however, is still affected by all sources.

[quote=Srurtuphr]When I got Epic Adventure that is one of the first things I tested, and it indeed lasted more than my Infinity, which lasts 1 minute and 20 seconds.
I have 15% buff duration from Mechanic character card and also 19% from inner ability; 15+19= 34%. 134% X 60 = 84, 1 minute and 24 seconds, which fits exactly how my Epic Adventure lasted slightly more than Infinity before the recent RED patch.
I guess it was unintentional?

EDIT: Are you sure Buff Mastery affected epic adventure? if that is the case, maybe it was affected by ONLY that? that would still make sense, I guess.[/quote]

Yes, it Epic adventure was only affected by buff mastery. I had before RED 32% inner ability + 15% mechanic card + 50% buff mastery. With this, it would have been almost permament Epic adventure (1.97*60secs = 118.2secs/120secs CD). But instead Epic Adv. lasted for about ~90secs, which is 60secs*1.5 = 90secs.

90 secs > ~80secs for infinity

Remember now that we got 10% buff duration from Max Empathy, which still does not affect Epic adventure (I got lvl 100 Empathy).

EDIT* I just tested Epic Adventure, and it MAY be affected by the 10% of Empathy. It lasted for ~69 secs, which may be 60+6(10%)+3(human error + server lag, which always affects the durations positively). This is a maybe, because the server may have been lagging quite a lot. In any case, the 10% is still good for infinity and mihile link skill.

You are actually correct TS, Epic Adventure was affected by buff mastery and only by it. Now that buff mastery has been made passive, it appears that it no longer affects epic adventure. Also another nerf, is that magic guard along with absolute zero aura does not protect our hp like it did before this patch. Now we always take hp damage no matter what, instead of first depleting our mana and then getting our hp. Didn't work with %hp attacks nor with 1/1 attacks though.

Hyper Skills were always unaffected by Buff Duration though, and Infinity has always been affected by it

I was pretty sure that Epic Adventure never was affected by buff duration.
