In fact most of the CMs I see never would consider helping to heal anyone because they are too busy chucking poison.

Please try not to flame. I am just trying to bring up some issues that I see and I want to get your thoughts on them. If you think I am wrong then please explain instead of saying I don't know what I am talking about. If you have sugestions on fixes those are great as well. Maybe if we can be constructive we can work this out and you won't have to listen to everyone always crying nerf on this board.

Thank you,

I was just wondering if you guys think that you are really balanced and nothing needs to be changed?

Some things I saw during a base defense that makes me believe you may be over-powered.

1. Ability to chuck poison or disease from water to avoid taking melee damage. I have seen this done many times.

2. The ability to take out the mind of 20+ defenders in about a minute with 2-3 CMs. Our minds were all buffed by a dancer and we were using brandy and Muon as well. Please don't say, "Well you should have had some doctors there." I am a doctor. As a doctor I could not keep my own mind healed let alone anyone else's. In a minute with all those buffs, my mind was all black except for 76 points.

3.The ability to attack outside of the 64m range. I think it is silly to think that you can throw something farther than someone can shoot you.

4. The ability to poison through walls or attack someone with an AOE outside a base and it poisons all his friends inside as well.

CM was never meant to be the crowd control profession but it has become that way in the GCW. To the point that they over-power everything else in a battle.

This is being looked at right now by the Devs. A bug of sorts that will probably be fixed soon.

Umm This is a bug and fixed on TC. Don't whine about it because it will be fixed in pub. 7

There is a Dev response to this. "CMs throw gasses which do not stay on one floor of a building but move up and down through a structure, through walls, and through doors.

I have been looking now for 4 months as to what dev/corospondent/official SOE representative said this. They never did it is assumed by non-cms that this is the case. There has been no official response saying that CMs are supposed to be a support class, but rather it is an enigma that can be both support and a frontline fighter at the same time.

Thanks, didn't know it was a fix in the new pub.

That is if the chemical was thrown inside the building. I have seen CMs target someone outside the building and the AOE poisons all his friends inside as well. In hardened facility like bases though, poisons in the real world would not be able to pass through the walls from outside.
