No other combat hybrid class has zero defenses like we do. - big no...BH have horrible defenses for the skill points needed to master BHs have mitigation whereas we have none, so they do have some form of defense.
No other class has limited income potential.- Have you seen what SOE did to creature handler? CM's can make meds and sell them to make money. CHs can just go out and get animals for free. Theydon't have to spend money to make money like we do. Th CM meds can only be used by other CMs. Since CM isn't a dabble friendly profession there isn't much of a market for CM meds and we have a limited clientele. The majority of CMs are Masters and make their own stims.
No other crafting class is as limited as we are. - Limited how? You can branch off into several secondary professions and keep a group of people alive longer than any one doctor in a large group better than anyone. We are limited by not only not being able to harvest the resources we need in a self sufficient manner. Furthermore,a Doctor will always have a larger customer base since a Novice Medic with some Pharmacology skill can use most tubs.
No other hybrid class has as low DPS as we do with our elite professions primary weapon. -false, I just had meds crafted with 467 effectiveness...which equate to a 1K tick. 467 eff at Master = 917 a tic. One tic = 10 sec. 917 a tic = 91.7 DPS. This is still a far cry above the average poison the average CM can make (50 DPS). Worse yet, a CDEF user with pistols 4 can still kill a person quicker than out poisons do.
No other hybrid class's primary weapon is limited to not being able to incap. -false...disease + poison = incap. one hour after I mastered CM I went out and killed 7 imps. I never got scratched once. Never even had to heal myself. What other profession were you using with CM? What professions were these Imps? Were they AFK?
Don't get me wrong I love CM and won't drop it again but please don't try to make excuses as to the lack of gameplay we have. This profession rocks. I kept a group of 2 people alive while being attacked by 2 nightsister protectors and 3 spellweavers and no one died. Again it all depends on the template you are using...
