CMs get a skill mod called CM effectiveness that increases as they train up the range tree. Effectiveness is used to determine a multiplier that is applied to combat meds.


All combat med DoTshave a range and effectiveness (damage per tick)rating. The multiplier is appled to these ratings to determine the range and damage per tick.


Novice CMs do 1.05 time the range and effectiveness of a stim's rating.


ACM with ranged 1 does 1.2x the stim rating


ACM with ranged 2 does 1.35x the stim rating


ACM with ranged3 does 1.5x the stim rating



ACM with ranged4 does 1.75x the stim rating


AMaster CM does 2.0x the stim rating.


For example, a single mind poison C has rating of 34m range and 320 effectiveness. A CM with ranged 3 can throw that stim for 1.5 x 34m = 51m and have it do 1.5 x 320 = 480 damage per tick. A master CM with the same stim can throw it for2.0 x 34m = 68m and have it do2.0 x 320 =640 damage per tick.


This is explained in the FAQ if you want to look up the specifics and/or the equations.


Potency determines how often your stim is resisted. Rule of the thumb is have it be over 95 for PvE. I am unsure as to how high the hardcore PvP er's would want it. Generally a good advanced resilience compound will take care of the potency so you don't have to worry about it in the final build of your crafting (making it around 120-130s in potency).

I find that in general, my Cs (both poison and disease) are potent enough out of the box to be darn close to sticking every single time. I still jigger them up to 110 or so to be sure. I will muck with charges a bit in the final assembly, but not with the rancor stuff. The rest of the experimentation goes into effectiveness to get the biggest ticks I can get. I also will hunt high and low for exceptional resources to put into the components; getting very powerful AIAs seems to be the most vital influence on how much whoop you put in your cans of whoop ass.
