Question Title:	Why the short duration on attribute buffs?
Category:	Magic
Question:	What is the rationale behind attribute buffs lasting only half as long as other buffs? Are there any plans to change this?

Answer:	Attr buffs have shorter durations because they affect multiple skills with a single spell. (Yes, yes, they don't boost the skills as much, but their bonus is additive on top of skill buffs.) And no planned changes at the moment.
