I think it was done using the $char(buff) command but I cant work out how to do it under the new system. I think im looking too hard and cant see the wood for the trees.

Lax: I think this might be doable if the right offset/struc is found, GoD added a leadership ablity that allowed you to see groupmates buffs.

If there was a GoD ability added we can use it as long as the group leader has it ;) There's no way to make the server give us that information without it before anyone asks (554789 people asked if we could use Target of Target without the group leader having the ability)

There is such an ability.

When you target someone and hit the hotkey it lists the buffs/debuffs the person has at the first level.

At the second level it lists the same information, along with the time remaining on it.

Its a hotkey you get when the group leader has bought the show other peoples buffs ability.
