Thread: Noob fighting tips :)
Don't use infect....it's useless. The most common way to start a fight is to paralyze the opponent and hit them with your debuffs (they cause no damage so the paralyze will hold). If you are pistols and you are fighting a melee creature, make sure you electrolyte drain (reduces movement speed) and then kite. He won't be able to keep up with you and you'll have much success.
Against range, it's still good to put the speed debuffs on them and then concentrate on the specials of your weapon to finish them off, paralyzing as needed to heal yourself. Throwing poisons and fire is up to you, but don't bother if you are not master as the stick rate sucks for non masters.
The key to remember is CM is designed to give you an advantage from the start with the debuffs and then use your weapons, specials for the actual fight.
Good luck and enjoy!

I don't paralyze before heals usually. I try and conserve mind for other stuff.
