Just a thought but what the Devs need to do Is create a bar exclusively for healing (add another bar to HAM) this way the medics ability to heal is based off of that bar instead of mind. Also what needs to happen is heals should do all 3 HAMS. This way everyone is on a fair playing ground. Just a thought......let me know what you guys think

This won't work. It will seriously nerf riflemen who are sacrificing DPS and knockdown for the ability to hit the Mind pool. Devs have said that the ability to hit mind offsets the rifleman range/melee/DPS penalties.

What is the point of having mind bar if you going to create another bar and base healing off it ?

Currently:
Health bar is used for some classes and is primary damaged,
Action bar is used by combat classes for their action,
Mind bar is used by medics for their action

Your proposal:
Health bar is used for some classes and is primary damaged
Action bar is used by combat classes for their action
Mind bar is used by noone
NewBar is used by medics for their action

There is no point for rifleman (or anyone) to damage it as compared to action/health because medics can heal it same way as Health or Action but Health and Action are used up additionally by actions.

This would in NO way nerf riflemen......they still have some of the most damaging attacks in the game Technically it would be nerfing medics but making life easier for everyone else. And in theory it would make a lot of sense especially if "mana" regen were at a fixed rate.

Your proposal is huge rifleman nerf and huge medic boost.
You propose to make medics's special ability pool not be damaged AND allow medics to heal pool that rifleman can damage most effectvely AND mind pool is not used for anything - so rifleman has to do more damage then in current system.

Two nerfs for rifleman and a boost for medics.

My suggestion was perhaps not make the mind pool incap.. but just have a neg mind pool increase ham costs by 50% .. and take 25% more damage or some such.. this would balance not being able to heal mind.


While making action/health poisons viable.. at this point.. there is no reason anyone should ever use anything but mind poison.




My thoughts;

Not yours.

Exactly that's all I have to use is mind poison and run.....in some cases I can take out a group of 10+ people of they are close enough together. now I don't have a problem with this but this makes combat medics and riflemen the most elite fighting classes out there. Health and action can be healed mind can't this is in no way a fair combat system. Maybe riflemen should get a knockdown to balance this out......it's really is completely an unfair advantage to hit a pool that cannot be healed.

easiest way to fix this whole thing is to remove the ability to target mind from all classes except rifleman
