I'd be willing to bet you're wrong about more people wanting to keep the click buffs. However, a "Keep them all" option would have settled the argument, so that seems like a fair request. Maybe the devs can keep that in mind for the next survey.

I would actually like it if they got rid of two categories of click buffs, but then improved the power of the ones that are left. As it is, the buffs are only useful if I activate several from each category. I don't have the bushwacker in my party (and I never will), so I end up having to activate a dozen buffs to get any worthwhile effect. I'm a little afraid that removing some of the click buffs will make the ones that are left worthless, so improving them might be necessary.

I'm also possibly just bitter because I did start X 300 when they changed the buffs... and I'm gonna have to expend a lot more buffs to get through it than I was hoping to use

... But assuming you have Bushwhacker on, I'm assuming you definitely have Princess and Jim for swordplay increase... and maybe another (gryphon or so)... a 5% increase from dps would be a much smaller bonus than 100% of your click damage after swordplay.

Pardon that explanation since I'm on no sleep right now, and too lazy to put out all the math... but I'm pretty sure the % of DPS increase is pretty much POOT.

For just a general idea, my click damage without any boosts and with just a regular lineup is probably a little under 25% of my click damage (we'll use 25% just for easy math sake), so using 5% extra is 30% of my total dps, whereas 100% increase of that click damage would now bring me to 50% of my total.

I only click for 30 minute for each hard objectives. Farming idols don't need clicking at all, idling is plenty enough. But with Click buff and BW, objective that would take 2-3 week to complete can be done in 30 minute. That's how useful clicking is.

It does, or well it used to do.
But weeks to 30 min is a bit to far probebly.. But atleast 1 week diffrence.

^^ Agreed. Doing 300 X earlier today, I would say I started using buffs at around 270 because it got way too slow... with the old buffs, i would be able to use 2 buffs each (common and uncommon for each) and probably get away with 4 levels if I could instakill after buff, or 3 if I don't actually instakill. Saying that, I would need roughly 6-7 buffs of each to make it to 300 you would think...

Instead, I had to use 3 of each (Common/Uncommon/Rare) of the Crusader damage, % DPS click damage, and Crits... to move roughly 2-3 levels because I wasn't really doing as much damage as I would've without the extra 600% click damage. Along with messing up a few times and randomly using the new buffs just to test if they work well (and they don't... sometimes I feel like they dont actually do as they say they would at all)... I probably used at least 15 of each, along with some extra Quantum leaps in the middle when I was missing like 1-5 levels for my next 25.

The 3 weeks to 30 mins might be exaggerated... but definitely could take down the time dramatically
