Keeping Blessing buffs without a paladin in the group.

[SardonRayne]

The true credit goes to my friend for finding this and pointing it out to me, but since he doesn't use this site, consider me posting this for him.

Okay, today he joined my Sethekk Halls group to help me out, we had a tankadin who gave give him Greater Blessing of Kings. Well, after we finished, my friend left the group, and my group and I rolled on the loot.

Later that night, my friend switched back to his main, and noticed he still had the Greater Blessing of Kings on, and active(+10% stats). He invited me to a group, and the buff was in fact on.

For those who don't understand why I point this out, in a recent patch, Blizzard made it so that raid buffs(basicly the big version of smaller buffs, ie; Gift of the Wild, Prayer of Fortitude, Greater blessings) are removed when the caster is no longer in the group.


SO! In short;
You seem to keep the buffs from Paladins when YOU are the one who left the group, if the paladin leaves, then you lose the buff. This could probably be used for Soulstones too, and similare buffs. But since it's late, I'm not going to test right now.


Hope yall enjoy! =)

Uhh.. Isn't blessing of the kings like a 10 minute buff or something? Lawl, oh wells +Rep for trying to contribute

It's 15 min minimum, if you use the greater bok it's 30 min.

I know Soulstones are removed, learned this while trying to solo the Chess Event for the 5th or 6th time after they added the two stealth seeing mobs just outside of Princes room. Too bad they made so the event won't even spawn until a boss has been downed, I knew a killer way to farm it over and over without being saved :'(

Anyways, I had never noticed that buffs like Fort or Might are removed when the member leaves the party.

Yes, the normal Blessing of Kings lasts 10 minutes, however, my friend had Greater Blessing of Kings on, which lasts 30 minutes. I'll edit my original post if I forgot to mention it was the greater version.

This happened to me last night in AV. A warlock ( from another server ) I was guarding a tower with put a soulstone on me. When I left the battleground I still had it.

When i noticed it i thought it was weird so i flew up real high and dismounted. I was able to use the ss to resurrect after splatting on the ground.
