Thread: looks like you guys are the new victims of the whiners, my most sincere condolences.
The CM forum is looking like the CH forum did a few months ago with everyone crying nerf (Must be all professins that start with "C")
My view on this is such:
It seems as certain professions become more popular more people get incapped by them. These people usually doen't even understand the strengts/weaknesses of their own professions much less others so they whine and cry nerf cause they got killed.
what happens now. well people are gonna learn how to counter your attacks, but the damage will be done. Your attacks will be made less powerful or have less of an effect, and with the counters learned they will become next to useless.
It's about balance people, the game is still new. as Professions suffer the flavor of the month people cry nerf. No!! each profession is unique, each has strengts and weaknesses. Everyone hated rifleman till muron and mind buffs were found. Carbineer motto I can incap me before you can incap me, can be countered by action buffs. give it time people will figure out how to counter the problems of any profession.
But dammit stop crying NERF!! The only other nerfs I want to see in this game are fuzzy heard beasts that spit a lot (the animal).

No kidding, even after every nerf the CM's have had to endure, a new nerf cry always comes up. People won't be happy until CM is taken out of the game, unfortunately
They should put in an age requirement in this game to get rid of all the annoying teenagers who are not used to not having their way 100% of the time.

Without a doc standing right behind you (and hoping he'll heal you before he heals himself) how exactly do you plan on countering a 1000 tick mind poison that hits every 6 to 8 seconds cause I'd like to know. Poisons made with that spider venom can take up to 3 applications of decent antidote to get rid of. By that time either you or the doc is out of mind.
Every other profession has ways their skills can be countered *in combat* by a single player except CM. Even buffs do not help with the new poisons.
Your using rare loot based poison as an arguement to nerf CM, not good debating. Base your arguement on factory made ones based on the resources at hand.
The tick is every 10 secs, not 6 or 8. During this time frame a Master Rifleman can hit you once per second with a krayt Jawa Ion rifle doing 200-400 per hit, even though stun layered composite helmut.
Your arguement basis has board applications covering all rare loot drop items across all combat professions.
There are more issues with the CM profession that need to be addressed.
Drink 3 400+ (m/f/w) brandy's and eating 3 600+ (f/w)canapes over a period of time, for roughly 11 mins or so your mind stats will be boosted by 1200/3000/3000. Combine with a dancer/musican buff, your mind should regen faster than the poison causes damage.

People used to hate us when we could incap you with poison. Now we can't. Now people cry, "Whahh my uber-l33t guild with a bunch of defense-stacking gimps and no doctors got spanked on a raid by a CM" and we will likely get nerfed again.

amen to that.
Irony highlighted in yellow. Bold and underlined important part.
