Thread: So you want to nerf poisons...here are the conditions.
To sticky this isn't enough.
This should be spammed on the development board, sent to every dev's personal email, and put on every profession board who whines about CMs. They have to deal with 1/100th of the crap we go through. They just have to buy a gun and spam Xshot. I could have bought 20 suits of armor and 100 top of the line weapons for all the cash I've dumped into CM and medical in general.
Yeah,I don't get this stuff about calling for a Nerf, outside of Mind Poison, and mostly AoE Mind Poison at that.
Let's face it, it takes mroe resources and far more points to Master CM than to Master, say, Pistoleer. Their Bleeds to the same, sometimes more, damage (in PvE, at least) as a similar poison would do and it take MORE First Aid applications to fix, than a Doc using C Poison packs.
The real problem seems to me to be in the fact that a CM can AoE mind poison in PvP and there is simply no AoEcurefor it. Besides, Pistollers are a dime a dozen. CMs are downright rare compared to most combat professions.

Not anymore...
people are flocking to the class like vultures to carrion...
just like prepatch pistol whip and disarming where king...
now people are flocking to CM right now in droves...
just think back to the pre patch CM situation...almost a post a day talking about people that were either deciding to 1) drop the class or 2) take doctor over CM...
now post patch everyone and their mother wants to be a CM....
this type of mass migration is very characteristic of overpowered pvp classes...usually there is a very good reason people migrate en masse to a profession...
so what, Elly?
half of them outright hate crafting and will never make it through the crafting branch till Master
half of what's left will find out what a hassle it is to get all the advanced components' resources to make even decent poisons
those that are still left than will find out, that the crybabies nerfed the class in the meantime and that a class thatwas not overpowered at all is just a piece of junk than andgo somewhere else again.
...
Either that, or nobody's using their character flags; I keep looking for someone when I need training, and I'm just not finding anyone. CM is not that popular.
Aelik Orrigo: Smuggler, Pilot, and Ranger. Kettemoor I was thinking of this post again today while I was making some AoE poisons. It makes me laugh everytime.
Add on redeeding 3-6 times per 50ammo. Since right now if you want to make more than 100 items a day you have to do this. If not it will take 3 days to make 50 AoE poison C's And everyone knows anything less than a C isn't worth it.
Also add in that your only weapon worth a **edit** is gained at the master level of the proffession. All other weapons do nothing but piss off things and get you killed.
Very very good posting!!
It says all about balance and whining about CM is a medic class. CM is a crafter and a combat class. I make 3 hours per day crafting and surveying with friends (cause i cannot survey as CM) and 1hour PvP.
Stop whining about 1vs1 fights - and dont talk about balances 1vs1.
