Thread: what happened to CM..A Nerf? I now tick for 43
Well the TKM's got the stretch armstong treatment a few months back because they complained that ranged players were kiting them. Well yes they were and at the same time the devs gave melee classes a further reach the slowed down the walk/run/burst run speed of ranged players. When combat initiates ranged professions slow down to help prevent the kiting effect though they added KD/dizzy (which sticks over 90% of time without food buffs) to help them.
As for the tick, I know yesterday everything was going fine with poisons and disease and right now players are on the witch hunt to have CM's nerfed. The unfortunate truth is many players have absolutely 0 idea how our class works. Many do not grasp the concept of radius in area attack nor do they understand the rolling effect caused by chemical warfare. Add to this there is the total misunderstanding that we do more damage per second (DPS) though we're on a 10 second timer unlike the TKM who can land his spinning rawl in 1 second intervals.
For any non-CM players who come across this post it is the Geonosian Venom that make our poisons/disease so "god like". Under normal conditions and with the best resources we can come pretty close to building the same that any schmuck can using low quality junk with the Geo Venom. Though after putting thought into this, the best DXR-6 Rifle, disruptor pistol and scythe require the best loot from the Geonosian cave and can result in massive damage. Once again it's unfortunate that players yell for nerfs on what they cannot or refuse to understand.
You should have started with a poisen.
Was the TK meditating?
When meditating poisons/diseases are not always cured right away....but damage/tic will be lowered until actually cured.
People like you are the problem. I was TKM for about 3 month's and I can tell you that they don't own the game. You get beat and admitidly have no combat skill. What the hell did you expect? To through disease (which i have no idea why you would choose disease and only 1) and just sit there while the yell's atyou till you die from the verbal onslaught he brings you? Don't be an idot. They arn't the best prof in the game. i'm curntly a cm/rm cause they got a huge ninja nurf. Try and not attacking people if you can't fight.
Later

there is food that reduces damage taken for a number of attacks, but I don't know if that effects CM DOTS
It does not.
