Already /bugged it but...

Whenever you buff, it takes your stats (attributes/clothes/loadout) to determine what actual effect the buff gives. The problem is, that it's taking your stats into account when you buff someone else too.

So if I buff someone's Viral Defense or Melee Acc and I have minimal Belief, they'll get a "bad" buff. This comes as a problem when certain buffs don't override well (I'm looking at you Upgrade Master) and a few other possible weird situations.

The folks at Mara C were bouncing around the idea that it was intentional, but it seems kind of odd at least.

Also, as a nearly complete aside, when is Panicked Heal getting looked at?

This is definitely by design! Stats are just as important to buffers as they are to any other class: the radius on their AOE buffs, the strength of any heals they do, or in this case how powerful their buffs will be.

And Panicked Heal... I'm looking at it right now SMILEY
