• Remove the ability for poisons and disease to affect base ham.

Instead of poisons and disease taking away ham at a steady rate as if being attacked (we're not an offensive profession, people), make poisons tailor made to SUPPORT YOUR GROUP. Different poisons for different enemies and different groups you raid with.

• Add STAT based poisons and diseases

Having poisons and disease effect stats will naturally take away the 'win all' button venom has given us, but it could potentially make us even more useful than we are now (not useful at all, just the win all profession). For instance, we could add the following poisons:

• Ranged defense poison (drastically reduces the ranged defense of the group it is applied to)


• Melee defense poison (drastically reduces the melee defense of the group it is applied to)


• Attack speed poison (increases the dely experienced between attacks)


• Accuracy poison (decreases accuracy of the group it is applied to)


• Damage poison (increases damage taken)


• Temporary food debuff (slowly debuffs the effects of foods until the poison is cured)

We could also add diseases (potentially uncurable, but only last x duration)that have the following effects:

• Battle fatigue disease (increases battle fatigue gradually


• Entertainer healing disease (prevents entertainers from healing your BF or mind)


• Food disease (prevents food buffs from taking effect after it's applied)

There are endless ideas that could make the profession super fun, and could make ORGANIZED parties with knowledgeable cms true foes. For instance, if a group is heading into an attack where we know a ton of melee classes will be present, we might want to decrease their ability to defend against ranged attacks so we can clear them out before they have a chance to hit. Or, knowing we're about to be attacked by a LOT of ranged classes, we could throw an attack speed/accuracy poison to give us more time to fight back before getting mowed down.

I'd love to get some feedback, and also some ideas for diseases and poisons that I missed!

• Single and area Dizzy packs. Makes it so a cm can dizzy players.


• Single and area Intimidate packs. Makes it so a cm can intimidate players


• Single and area Blind packs. Makes it so a cm can blind players


• Single and area Stun packs. Makes it so a cm can blind players


• Give cm's an accuracy line! A cm being able to hit a player 100% of the time is unfair to rest of the professions that have to take into account accuracy. Make poisons have range modifiers just like weapons.

This would bea real good start at making cm a "support" class. Anything is better than the current poisons/diseases we have now.

If we went this route we would have to only allow 1 poison or disease to be added at a time. In fact doing this now would be a huge help. No more stacking of A/B/C poisons or diseases. By using different poisons as outlined it would introduce a form of tactics and choice if only 1 could be applied at a time.

I disagree. With a proper delay in place, stacking these poisons could be useful without throwing things out of balance.
