The CM dead horse hasn't been beaten THAT many times here.....
I was going to post a Witty Retort (TM), but then thought it might be better to give real numbers. So I searched for the word "nerf" in some forums and found some interesting results:
Combat Medic: 3813
Carbineer: 1707
Teras Kasi: 5646
Riflemen: 5232
I was going to continue, but the search engines overloaded. If you scale the combat medic posts to the 75% damage reduction (when the cries really started), it's on par with TK and Riflemen. Now I know that this is not a fair judgment for many reasons (most nerf cries do not directly say "nerf", does not take into account post quoting, locked threads, GCW complaints, etc). But still interesting... Make of that what you will.
Oh, and note, I agree that when this many people are crying nerf, it bears looking into and not writing it off as people whining. However, I also think that 3813 people can be wrong as well (*cough* scattershot *cough*). Make of that what you will as well...
9,686 more to go. And I find that people keep asking me to post more CM related things that Carbineer related things...
I was going to ask about where Creature Handler was in that list, though I think we were subject to the word "annihilate".

I doubt that rumor is true as I am pretty sure (not 100% positive) that I got all my states landed pretty quick, before all the sh!t was thrown at me.
Would gladly test with a CM

Untrue, I've had every state landed and still got splatted. The only thing that works is the Dizzy/KD.
