Why was the requirement on Ability Boosts changed?

I am use to seeing

Agility Boost
+12 Agility

Sensory Modi 61
Psycho Modi 61


What I am now seeing is

Agility Boost
+12 Agility

Bio Metamorph 35
Matt. Metamorph 41



Why and When was this changed?

Hasn't anyone else seen or at least noticed this?

Ugh.... All the requirements have changed all over the place...


Treatment Expertise
+20 Treatment

Psycho Modi 61
Bio Metamo 61

Uhm. . .it's been that way from the start.

Not that I noticed...

My engy was using these when they were 61 or 64 in Sensory Modi and Psycho Modi not BM & MM....


I didn't even have a BM or MM skill when I was using the ability buffs.

pretty sure they have always been that way. Its the only reason a lowbie trader would add to MM at all.

Boosts are not the same as Expertise buffs.

Expertises take PM/SI.

I started a month ago.

I have an Engy, and a Fixer.

The Engy has BM & MM cause he needs those skills.

The Fixer had the ability to cast those skill boost, but can't now cause the skills to use them has changed... he has the SM & PM, but not the BM & MM...

Maybe I am just crazy, but I am sure I remember these having only a PM & SM requirement

The Expertise buffs have changed at least the Treatment one, its now:

Treatment Expertise
+20 Treatment

Psycho Modi 61
Bio Metamo 61

Not PM & SM there either...

I asked a few people in game they thought the Boosts were SM & PM too...

:p

Expertises have been PM/SI (some are 66 too) and Ability boosts MM/BM for well over a year.

And traders have drains along with a faded left arm implant...they have no need (yet) to raise MM a single point at any level ;)

I think what most people do is ASSUME they are the same, rather than checking (atleast everyone I have talked to thought they had exaclty the same stats :) ) however as Far as I remember they have always had the stats they do now. If i remember correctly though there are a couple of the expertise nanos with different stats (treatment being one I think)

lilnymph

+scratches head+

ah well I am a goofball then...

Still doesn't explain how my fixer got the boost nanos to work as he only has lik 25 BM & right at 40 MM... but meets the 61 SM & PI requirement I could have sworn was on them to begin with....


a well I'll just spend the IP.
