Sacred 2:Buff
| In Sacred 2 the term "Buff" refers to a specific type of Combat Art that affects the player in a positive manner over a period of time. They are Combat Arts that can be "permanently" active and are indicated in game with the word (BUFF) beside the combat art name. In order to use Buffs they must first be equiped. Left click on a Buff from the Combat Arts window, (Push "E"), and drag it onto the first Buff slot on the interface to the bottom right of the screen. When a Buff is equiped it can be activated by left clicking on it's Buff slot icon. They remain active until switched off. Some enemies in game have the ability to disable player buffs. This is typically referred to as a "deBuff"(de=deactivate). Active buffs cause a slower regeneration of other Combat Arts.
At the start of the game only the 1st Buff slot is available on the bottom right hand interface. Players can increase the number of Buffs they can have active at the same time by choosing the skill Concentration. When choosing Concentration for the first time a player will immediately gain the 2nd Buff slot in the bottom right interface. By putting points into Concentration a 3rd Buff slot will be granted when achieving Concentration Mastery at skill level 75. |
