CM wouldnt need nerfing if there were more active Doc's in PvP, No Doc's to cure poison/disease for those who went all combat and not a lick of medic feels that its over powered because they werent bright enough to alteast keep novice medic to heal themselves some. If CM gets nerf 75%, they should nerf the hell out of all combat profession. NO ONE, I mean NO ONE should be able to attack every sec........Only true nerf I can see is having AE dots effect both sides.
Pistoleers should be able to attack every second bud. Riflemen should not.

Actually it is proper to compare them to riflemen. I did just that in this thread. Also, your estimate of 400 tick poisons is more than a little off man. Multiply that by two or three.

Don't worry laserhawk this thread is about a PvP reduction. Your PvE status will not change except for the range and if you using the food havla... the throw rate. The devs are just trying to balance PvP right now - not the PvE aspect. I can imagine that you don't probably use havla so the only change you will see is a reduction in your range. vortexala did a rigorous test on Test Center to show you what your maximum range would be.. still pretty reasonable so you should be good

Greeting to all here
i have been playing 3mo now and done alright for myself i mastered artisan first and i thought that was hard to make a living at, but did well as a commando,just gave it up to master combat medic and kept thanking my lord will my mission levels go up as i master this i made master today and as of now it is my only skill beside for novice pistol so with that being said went to the termial to pull a few mission make some money and forgot to put a pistol in my hand lvl5 as a master with oistol i get level 13 now i look over here and see this thread about how we are so powerful i say bull crap,in pvp they may help but nomore then being a tkm are a rifleman are even a jedi which as it stands IS the Most Overrated thing in this game talk about to powerfull there is no armor nor weapons a single player can use on them it takes a team.
now i know i am a newbie here and noone will care but i Dont DO PVP I am a Wookie we dont stand a chance in pvp and that already been set into place by the devs i am one of those poor saps that loose faction pionts for getting killed while hitting a npc base by a ppl hiding down inside of said base your there trying to play a game and get ambushed .
now i find somthing that not only i like but it help my group i play with and you are talking about taking what little the game players have away revamp the pvp sysmtem leave the game along it is great and fun as is . i for 1 will be looking to spend my time and money eslewhere if we lose what little we non-pvp players have(heck atleast give a combat class even if it only rated as a marksman atleast a mastermarksman rates a level 15 mission.

two or three? that would be way off. 800 damage per tick is in the dead zone, and 1.2k is using some pre-nerf spider venom.
500-600 damage per tick is the best craftable stuff...
CM's have the ability to stack and craft +1000 single poisons. We have to look at this realistically. Most poisons used in serious PvP are +800 or more with the bare minimum of +600 for a CM's most powerful stuff. Add stacking on that and you are looking at 1000+.
I can't even remember the last time I was hit with a putrid +400 poison... +400 is about the strength of the diseases I get hit by. C'mon guys I'm not as dumb as I look.

a 400 tick poison is about right unless you are using fire spider poison or stacking more than 1 poison, u saying multiply 400 by 2 or 3 would mean u would need to craft the poison with an effectiveness of 400-600 which is impssible even with firespider parts.
I have a CM friend who can craft +600 mind poisons and he just started. This thread is about the damage capability of CM's. CM's have the ability to stack poisons, so yes, multiply 400 by 2 or three. Furthermore +1000 poison singles are capable of being made. The power of stacking can be quite vicious. One can stack three area poisons and three single poisons on one person. Stacking needs to be looked at and assed when examining a CM's damage output in order to achieve balance in the game.
I've seen a CM hit 40 people in a base raid, that's 160 cures. You basically need 1 doc per 2 non-docs minimum in a situation like that.
If there were area cures, that could cure in 1-2 applications, teh situation wouldn't be as bad.
I'm a Master CM, and I think somethign needs to be done to lower the amount of cures required, and the amount of people an area disease/poson can hit.
