I read that DOTS on weapons are going bye bye after CU and that only dots from special attacks will be left, is this true?

To my knowledge, nothing has been stated about that. The official document(s) I've seen have stated nothing referring to DOTs.
I would think that DOT's on looted weapons will more than likely be removed, while DOTs on crafted weapons like the enhanced E11 will remain (unless they plan on doing away with these weapons all together). But I honestly don't have a clue.

There has not been an official announcement.....so even rumors leaked from the Alpha CU forum or started by people outside the Alpha Testers is just rumors....

if buffs are going way down you'd think that dots would have to be reduced drastically...

I hope they go away. It would be nice to fight based on your familiarity with your weapons, tactical and professional ability...also I never managed to loot a nice DOT so get rid of them!!! Lol...

90% of the time I die in pvp is due to DoT's so I have no problem with them going bye bye
the other 10% is jedi..can we get rid of those pesky things too?

The Combat Upgrade is all about BALANCE and fun for all Combat Profs....so yes BOTH of these items are getting the FULL attention of the Devs.
But I honestly don't know how it will turn out, hell I haven't even got to play on the Sandbox for 5 seconds....

I'm glad I was given my 818max laser carb, pretty sure it won't be so good after CU..or will it? Did they ever decide how existing weapons will be balanced

i would assume a weapon that is uber now will still be uber after CU, only it will be ube by the NEW standards, not the currents ones.
so a 800 max damage laser carb could be droped to 400 but that means EVERY thing will be droped too, so it'll still be uber.

I think weapons that are better than average (uber) will still be better than average after the CU, but the difference between average and uber will be way smaller.
