Thread: Devs, Poison Immunity Proposal.....
maybe a gas mask (biological warfareprotectant)craftable by tailors or armorsmiths, that has immunities toONLY poisons and diseases would fit the need. Crafters could experiment on the mask to increase the resistances to poisons and diseases. I say this would fit well because, if the mask had resistances to ONLY poison and disease, the user of the mask would have to sacrifice whatever resistances are on their head armor (whether it be a composite helmet or a headwrap).
On a closer level, brainstorming on this topic and replying to this post has made me realize that currently, a tusken helmet would fit this need well. It has all the looks to a gas mask, the devs could just add poison/disease resist mods on to certain uber loot tusken helms and you would have yourself a really hot item being sought after by a lot of players.

Ur N idiat! wy shuld I hafta take another prof to be imun to pson? I wnt totl imun fr my class NOW! NERF CMs THRU DA FLOOR NOW!!!!!!!!1111§oneoneoneoneone!

I guess that example cleared things up. Unless 100% poison resistance is placed at Novice Marksman and Novice Brawler we'll never hear the end of it. (Of course Architects will still be mad because they can't get 200% poison resistance and will keep calling for nerfs)
Otherwise, the idea wasn't bad. But taking cure poison from the doctor line actually woudl cost less points and be more efficient. Now, the ranger option would probably be nice for Bounty Hunters... and they could need some love. Everyone else would be better of with doctor. But they still won't like it. Because that would interfer with their defense stacking.
There is a simpler way.

I think that Ranger would be the most deserving and resistance skills naturally fit ranger.Anyway I would suggest something that would break down like thisMaster Ranger:Poison Resistance +80Disease Resistance +80***********************************Frontiering IVPoison Resistance +10Frontiering IIIDisease Resistance +10Frontiering IIPoison Resistance +5Frontiering IDisease Resistance +5***********************************Field Bioscience IVDisease Resistance +10Field Bioscience IIIPoison Resistance +10Field Bioscience IIDisease Resistance +5Field Bioscience IPoison Resistance +5************************************This would give dabblers that would take up only skill one tree +15 resistance, if they take two trees they would get +30 resistance. But to get +110 resistance you would need to be a master ranger. At master you would have almost total immunity to poison or disease or perhaps it could be made complete and total immunity(something like +150). Players with master ranger would still have room to master rifle, pistol, or carbine. Players who would not benefit from this would be defense stackers, BHs, Commandos, and Smugglers. This is the compromise that players must choose: If they want godly offensive or defensive skills then they will be vulnerable to poisons, If they want to be invulnerable to poison, then they will be vulnerable to BHs, smugglers, and stacked combat templates.

Interesting proposal. I like it. Force people to un-stack their templates some if they want to resist poison/disease.
What the devil does being a Ranger have to do with disease resist? If I'm going to be forced to get Ranger I'll get doc instead and be useful.
All they really need to do is revamp the poison/disease resist food. Bump it up to master chef level and allow it's stats to hit 90% resist for 10min.

This idea would make it so that any profesion that did mind damage would become unweildly in PvP. (Rifleman, Swordsman, Fencer) due to the fact that the mind pool would be undefended to these attacks, or at leaste much moreso than they are now.
