I know that all professions have their meaning in this game.I know that a lot of professions have been nerfed and will be nerfed. i also don't have any problem with getting killed by another profession as long as it's a fair fight. But what the hell is up with you CM's.

I see a CM sitting there, I close in with my carabine equiped - he stands up and before i even got into range i got poisoned and diseased. Nothing i could do about it, got db'ed before i could even say hi. I am no noob and i know my profession quite well. i also know that we are one of the most nerfed professions.

I think that CM's should have an important role in PvP but I do believe that your current capabilities are ... well not quite what they were supposed to be.

I really believe that the dev's should redevelop CM's so they are back into the support buisness and not in the I can take on everyone at extreme range.

Maybe this guy / girl was expoiting and the rest of you don't have that capability and this is not because i got DB'ed just trying to get SWG on the right Star wars track.

By the way, I am a Master Bounty hunter so plz don't say how many skill points or time you have invested in your CM.

If you're going to come in here seeking nerfs, you'd better have some information to back up your story.

1. How far away was the CM when they poisoned/diseased?


2. How much damage was done per 'tick'?


3. Which pool did they target?


4. What are your HAM settings?

It's hilarious that this guy lost one fight, and he's crying for a nerf.

Here's a question: How did he incap you? Was he a master rifleman too?

Here's an idea: Find that CM and do an experiment for us. Repeat that fight 10 times, and I bet you'll win 2 out of 3.

Hmmm Since posions cant incap any more makes me wonder what else did the CM do spit on you? Yes posion will drop your Health so does that carbine you use. Add that with a Body shot from the pistol tree and ya your toast.

How did you lose? Stand there and die while he waited for his poisons to kill you?

Poisons cant incap you anyway, and by the time they tick you could have closed in on him and killed him easily.

Poison + Disease WILL incap, folks. It's well documented on these boards. The Range is being "nerfed" as we speak.

So what is your issue?

And take that "support class" stuff and cram it in your LLC.

Honestly if you were poisoned AND diseased before you got into range, you are a lieing piece of bounty hunter droppings. Even if the guy could reach you at 70 or 80 meters, he has 4 seconds between the tossing of the poison and the tossing of the disease. Don't tell me that you could not close that distance in 4 seconds.

Also keep in mind that when a combat medic throws he cannot move, so saying the guy was running away as he was tossing is another load. In fact if he threw that fast he could not have moved at all. In my experience the throwing animation takes as long to execute as my downtime between throws.

I think that CM's should have an important role in PvP but I do believe that your current capabilities are ... well not quite what they were supposed to be.

How do you know this? I do not BELIEVE is what you said, well I don't BELIEVE that a bounty hunter should be able to incapacitate me either. Nor should he be able to deathblow me. There is only one example in the movies where a bounty hunter actually killed someone so I don't BELIEVE you should be able to do that at all without an astounding amount of luck.

I really believe that the dev's should redevelop CM's so they are back into the support buisness and not in the I can take on everyone at extreme range.

Once again you believe. I think the devs should redesign the bounty hunters where they cannot heal themselves in combat either. I mean NO medical skills of any kind, the medical tree should be totally off limits to you. Once again this is what I BELIEVE!

Maybe this guy / girl was expoiting and the rest of you don't have that capability and this is not because i got DB'ed just trying to get SWG on the right Star wars track.

Yeah let's get Star Wars on the right track, go troll over on the Creature Handler forum for a while.

Now I hope you are getting the sarcasm in this since I am laying it on pretty thick. The truth is you got beat and you don't like it and want someone nerfed. Well face it the bounty hunters are not the most powerful profession in the game, nor should they be. Why do we as combat medics have to be covert all the time because we are in fear of people like you?

Another powerdood crying because he is not as uber as he thought he was.

Excuse me Mr. Noob, but doesn't your carbine have a range of 64? Max range on a fast acting HUGE damage poison is about the same(they can be tossed much further, but with dramatically reduced effectiveness). I could be wrong since I've only been a CM for about 6mos., but I believe you can cover 40m in about 5seconds closing on your target. That's seems to be same amount as the timer a CM needs between tossing a poison on you and then a disease on top of it?

Lets do the NOOBinometry for a sec here lads. Carbine 64m is about same range as a HIGH end poison. We know he's full of shat about the disease because what he described happened to fast for even the best disease to make a single tick on him(we'll go into that part later). So the NOOB must have forgotten to equip his rifle or wanted to get into knife range. Even if he wasn't buffed and with the worst unbuffed stats(which his noobness forgot to mention) it would still take a couple ticks for a good poison to drop you to 1 ham(90% of the time).

Now lets get to the nitty gritty, he lies about the disease, the best single line disease take many ticks to mess up your bars. More lies about the range, no poison of 80m+ has enough omph to drop someone in one tick, simply not possible. The shat starts getting higher when he doesn't get a shot off, since cm's can't toss poisons doing drive by's from speeders(he stated the cm was sitting anyhoo), remember he's equipped with a carbine he's prolly pretty proud of - a krayt wooglybooglywoopwoop or something of the nature. The cherry on the top of the steaming pile of shat is the fact that he was running at his target, the actual running speed closes distance to fast to never get in range of his target with his krayt wooglybooglywoopwoop.

So lets call a Noob a Noob here, and crown this one King. The lies are painfully obvious.

This is something the Combat Medic Correspondantneeds to deal with, and FAST. The devs need to know about all the BS stories coming from noobs like the one above. The devs need to know that most of the nerf calls aren't coming from people who've played this game very long. The propaganda for nerfing CM is mostly baseless, it comes from mostly inexperienced players who have no clue what the CM medic is about. We all have our opinions of how classes are played, but we can't expect our own subjective opinions to be held over anyone else's class in this game. Why should any single subscriber tell meanyone howto play her character/class - that it is supposed to be so much less than any other?

CM's are CM's, they are not SUPPORT CM's or Secondary CM's. They are COMBAT MEDICS, period. I have never advocated a nerf on any class. I don't care how hard eyeshot hits, leave it alone. There are many super powered weapons in the game, pick yours and use it to the best of your ability. But please don't come to the Combat Medic forum and make up some utter BS about how this happened to you, or how you were poisoned on Endor by a Combat Medic standing on Rori.

Everyone can play CM's and Doc's. We need alot more of both. Unfortunately neither class is MTV enough for the masses so less than 1% of people play them. Fix the bugs in this game Soe. Let people learn to play their classes without the constant nerfing to everyone, especially the Combat Medic.

Well of course you CM's wouldn't like to be nerfed because you are all very aware that you have been favored (75 reduction on all but you guys?).

But it's a deal, i will contact that rebel and duel him again and again (if he heals me in between) and post the screens - i have no problem with that.

Sorry guys the overall view is that you have capabilities that are way overpowered. I can see you don't want to accept that.

Ouch...

I just came in here to read up on the CM profession and I don't have an opinion either way on this, but I do have to say that the guys in here defending the Combat Medics are making you all look bad. Even if they guy is calling for a nerf, ya don't just start screaming 'noob' at someone who is at least polite.

Jeez... enlighten him and at least treat him with some respect if you think he's wrong. Don't just spout off and call him a noob.

Actually you looking at it wrong, everyone took 75% reduction to PvP only while CMs are reduced both in PvP and PvE

Seriously:
Do you realise that reducing our damage 75% would make most poisons do less then 100dmg a tick (even less for AOE version) , that's way below CDEF DPS now add to that the fact that poisons do NOT incap...

Most CMs agree that AOE through walls must be fixed - that's what makes CMs feel overpowered.

You a master BH?

Bleh.

BLIND the CM first off. No throwing for him/her.

Then eyeshot spam.

I can't believe the guy with eyeshot is complaining about overpowered.
