Thread: Poisons and Disease Testing vs Weapons
actually u have clarified my opinion on dots right now in other threads...
H and A poison not over powered cuz u can heal...
mind poison cuz you cant heal it.
fact is that all HAMs arent created equal...
so u have to treat H and A seperate from M because they are in fact different...
Fact is 600 H or A damage is nothing, why?!
because docs can buff ur H and A to 2000+ and its healable
On the other hand 300 mind damage is way more powerful than 600 H or A...because u cant heal it
So mind poisons and all mind damage in general needs to be re evaluated...
i have suggested 2 alternatives until mind damage is resolved to make Cms more in line with other classes...
1) reduce effective on MIND damage alone leave H and A alone...to bring it in line with Bh and rifleman and leave LOS
2) make it LOS and leave it at its current effectiveness...
right now mind damage and thus mind poison is just over powered
I've beenin Moneia lately...and I'll be in game in a few.
Like I said, my opinion is you can't just have an issue with mind poison, that's a game mechanic issue. It's an all or none thing, imo.
A master BH will put you down faster...or, had a mind shot lately?
Combat Medic is much lower powered than Riflemen and Bounty Hunter who also have an attack against the famed unhealable mind pool. If they get nerfed and they can no longer attack the mind pool, then go ahead and nerf CM's one and only attack that cant be instantly healed, until then bring up to the level of a combat effective ability like rifleman or bountyhunter.
Elen though I believe your sincere, butyour hurting your own profession. Your opinion runs counter to most of the experiences of the Combat Medics on this board. So what does that mean?
Fastgun
U again forget the power of LOS...
ill tell you one thing on Ahazi...Master CMs are tossing mind dots for 300-500 without enemies ever seeing them
i can personally tell you that most people here really havent used the non_LOS power of the CM if they are finding themselves constantly knocked down and snipered...
we arent a class that goes out in the open...we move and run and situate ourselves to best use our abilties...if u run out and throw a dot into 8 people and then get totally spammed on...uh....that was ur fault...if u took a little more time u could have moved using cover to close...and if u couldnt then why would u attack 8 people at all?!
