We dont have much time before the new doctor packs go to live. Once it hits live we know nothing will change after that. So I am asking, no pleading with you to use your voice at this time and have some of the power of the enh resistance packs be reduced. Some of the testing on Test center with B packs alone on our "regular" potentcy packs (120ish) are being resisted over 70% of the time (imagine what resist C packs will be like) not to mention the 22m radius of area cures. I can recognize that CM power needs a balance but some of this needs to be reduced or at the very least move the cures or the resist buffs to the cm trees.

Although I have always thought they were 'dumb' do we need to do a petition like all the other profs do? (Droid engineer, Image Designer, anti-cm people, oh and how could i forget...JEDI)

OH DEARY ME!! As if CMs didn't need to be nerfed. No. The nerf should not be nerfed. You deserved this. We need this.
No other profession can match the DPS an <Insert profession with mind attack here>/CM could do. And now maybe we can. Hurrah for us. Finally PvP will not be ruined by chemical warfare experts. Glory days.

Petition? Hahaha. I can't wait for in the near future for all these heals, cures, preventive innaculations etc to go live. The days of insta-CM "Step up get Owned" will be over soon.

There's a difference between balancing and making completely useless.

I have no problem with resist buffs. . .i just happen to think that area cures should fall under the CM profession

I dont know what the packs will be like when it hits live but my thoughts on it are this....
Every profession in the game can be protected by armor to some extent except jedi and CM. Every profession is subjected to the PvP damage reduction except CM. As it stands right now CM deal more damage in PvP than any profession in the game, including Jedi, and with the upcoming combat balance you had to know some kind of balancing effort was going to be made.
IMO this seems like a better alternative than say reducing poison damage in accordance with the PvP reduction. Without a doctor around or doctor resist buffs you will still be able to deal the same ammount of damage.
Lastly....I would wait until the final product comes off TC to complain about being worthless. From my experince on TC, things can change drastically before they hit live, especially in terms of a combat adjustment.

I don't like how the Devs handled this, I do not blame Vox for it. I'm not saying you do, but come on. If they didn't listen to her the first time and didn't tell her anything do you really think they are going to listen to her this time? I'm not trying to be negative, but I'm just not happy. Thoughts of leaving keep crossing my mind, this will just be the final straw.
Frankly I"m sick of having to spend more points than a master doc and doing all of the same work for nothing. No credits, less skills etc. I watched BHs get their skill points lessened, I know they aren't the only ones who did. Why can't CMs? We're supposed to be agressive healers and we can't even do either of those. I can think of4 things CMs have that docs don't. Area/Ranged Heals, Poison/Disease, /healmind, and ter neg. Now they are going to be making minds healable soon I think, so that isn't going to be a big deal. The ter neg isn't a big deal either as I can still be master doc/master ANY weapon and get a lil of it, though only about 1/2 as much. Poison/Disease is going to be ruined completely by havla spamming cure docs. That leaves us with what? Area and Ranged heals. Now even docs have area cures, on top of everything else they have.
Ick. I keep repeating myself, hoping the devs wake up and change how they are handling these changes. I don't think they see some of us agree with the changes themselves just not how they are handling them. You would think they fact even some docs only, not doc/cms only, agree with us on us getting short changed.
I am seriously thinking about quitting the game and canceling both of my accounts. That is how disgusted I am. I was already unhappy about the core system/jtl crap but willing to wait it out and see how it played out. With this? I don't know if I can force myself to stay here now. I already took a break from my cm but I had planned on going back to play her because I do love the profession. I have both a doc and a cm, but CM was my favorite. I guess it's because I enjoy being in combat both pve and pvp and being able to make a difference. People always said /healmind was crap but it saved many of those fighting next to me. Now, even docs are getting that I bet and it will be once less thing CMs has and one more Docs have. I don't want to be some "buffuberbot" or whatever somebody called it. After I spend countless hours decorating per week, I need to get out on the field and have combat. It was the balance I had.
Anyway /rant off.
Oh and troll, learn to make friends to take up your time and stop making childish post here.

You must suck at tka if you cant work around 80% kinetic armor. Sheesh you could spend 5-10mil on one damn good vk (mine is 270 with p'up) and you will be fine, there is more to tka than meditating and spamming /unarmedHit3. Me however, I have spent 70mil to date on my CM profession (+25 in Exp, +20 in assembly, and **edit**loads of resources). There is no way to work around being 100% useless in PVP,so my message to you.
shut the **edit** up for you have obviously no idea what you are talking about

best to ignore those that are not cm's than take thier insults personally--the point is yes the cm power needs to be reduced and I think the devs got it bang on with the resist buffs and area cures--i just think these should be awarded to the cm profession --not only for income source --ie balance the economy a bit so that doctors once again dont control it all. The point of this post is to recognize that B buff resist packs are already way to strong with mediocre resources and with Pack C eventually we are talking about 100% resist.

That's your choice to spend 70 million on your profession. I made a CM/Doctor on my 2nd account at one point and spent no more than 300k and was a killing machine. Sorry I know what I'm talking about.
