Thread: Accidentally found out...
Let's not forget you can stack it, (flames and bleeds no longer stack)
You don't have to be within 18m like a commando using flamer (for burning)
You can throw from 130m (base 84m + experimentation)
You can throw from water (at 130m expecially this is devastating)
And you guys wonder why everyone thinks CM's need to be worked on (/ nerfed from their current abilities) !?!!?

Stacking a special and stacking a different type of craftable poison pack are two completely different things.

No but we do have to suffer a 4 second immobility that no other class is required to experience.

Base max is 96m + approx 17m radius at Master. Only a Master CM has this kind of range. The higher you experiment in range the lower the damage will be. The damage rating also controls the size of the AE so your figures are off. Please present all the facts not just some miscontrued numbers...

Throwing from water is still being looked at.

I agree some changes need to be made but not to the point of leaving our class useless and undesirable to play.
Im not a cm but I fight them daily.. Personally I can understand a CM being as strong as he is.. if he had to be master to do what he does.. considering the points he has to put into it. Even though some of the venom poison running around lowca hits for about 1700 a tick.. which is a tad bit on the insane side.
Poisons should be able to stack but not on the same pool, just like weapon dots.. you can poison all 3 stats but not stack 3 on 1 stat.
All in all, cm is a fine class that doesnt need to be nerfed. Im just tired of seeing 4004 cm's running around hitting me with 1k mind poisons and 500 mind diseases a tick..

He's talkin about my poisons *preen*
LOL and he's right. I'm a MCM and I throw some bad azz stuff but nobody should be able to do anywhere NEAR that kinda dmg until master. Venom, while fun, was the dumbest thing they could have given Combat Medics.
