and what about buff values that are altered by stats / AA choices at the time they are applied? for some buffs, you could have them altered at the time they are cast, then switch AA spec's and keep the more powerful version of the buff.

obviously, there's a reason for their decision. they played it smart from the beginning for once and eliminated the possibility for exploit. cry about it all you want, but i don't expect it to change.

it's a minor annoyance. nothing more. it's not like you're respec'ing during combat or anything.

Now, even random scrubs like him can get the mirror off the broker for a handful of gold instead of going out and working for it. And on a PvP server like Nagafen, these items are (well, were) highly prized because most of us have drastically different preferred specs for PvP and PvE.

He's been granted one of the most powerful tools available on a PvP server for a matter of pennies, and he's going to bitch because now that he gets FREE AA SWAPS between his two favorite specs, he has to spend a few gold on refreshing poisons. Boo-fucking-hoo. It's always been like this, get over it. If you don't want to be affected by it don't use the mirror 4 times a day, or wait until your poison charges are almost worn off. And totems... are you serious? You're complaining about having a 15/30 minute recast totem charge being stripped off you? Are you seriously that daft?

How come you continue to talk about shit you know nothing about? Time and time again you prove to everybody how little you know about every situation you talk about.

And this is where I completely PWN you.

I happened to get my shard WAY before LU42. In fact, I was one of the first people on the server with a mirror. I was duo'ing Karnor's Castle with a druid, and it so happened to drop, and I so happened to win it.

So, this whole post is based upon a wrong ASSUMPTION. What makes you think you know so much about me? I encourage you to keep posting, so I can keep showing you how wrong you actually are ;)

Well, if you weren't alone in respec'in 4 times a day prehaps SoE might consider investing time into this, however normal people have more common sense not too or not complain.

Infact, since your moaning about something that really doesn't need to be moaned about lets hope SoE keep this the way it is.

Next patch:
-Mirror of Reflected Achievements will no longer strip all buffs.

In-game, this will translate to the mirror losing all function. Hey, it won't strip buffs anymore!
