Divine echo states: " Upon using an offensive skill, the affected party member mimics you for 40% of final damage. Buff Duration on Party memeber:65% + 1% for every 1000 Strength (up to 100%), Cooldown : 120sec.
When confronting support from the Maplestory discord he explained that the "Buff Duration" listed in the skill isn't actual "Buff Duration" but the duration of the buffs Paladin gives to the linked party member. Ex : (I'll be using elemental force (200 second long buff as the buff given to the party member. The base buff duration of the Paladin will be 0% so the times are at its base). At 0 STR Elemental force would only last 100~ seconds (65% buff duration), while at 100% buff duration it'll last the full 200 seconds. Shouldn't this be better written/formated so it makes sense? I also don't understand why this is a thing in general. Because a level 30 (25+5) Divine echo only lasts 70 seconds, and at 0 STR Elemental force is ~100 seconds, which is already 30 seconds higher than divine echo, and when divine echo ends all the buffs end with it. The only case where this works is for sacrosanctity since it's a 30second iframe at "100% buff duration" and at 0 STR and base 65% "buff duration" it would only be 20~ seconds. But nevertheless, it should be re-edited to specify that the "buff duration" is only for the Paladin's buffs that are passed onto the linked party member. and not just "65% buff duration + 1% per 1k stat" since it would be assumed that the buff duration is for all non-5th job skills. (i know how op it would be if it was actual buff duration, for ex: explorer mage infinity lmao)
