Hello I am interested in learning some CM and was wondering if I wanted to do mind damage what is the best bang for the buck in the skill tree? Too many factors to give you a straight answer

Should I go 0,0,0,4 and rely on Mind poison's with a higher use skill? If you are going to dabble then definitely Master the Support line first and foremost. This will allow you to use meds of up to 75 Combat Med Use (CMU)

Or should I go 2,0,0,2 and use disease as well as poisons? No, if you want to be able to disease effectively you need to Master Support then pick up the 2 boxes in distance. At 2002 your CMU will be 35 and you will be lucky if you are able to use moldy bread at that level.

I assume that the 0,0,0,4 mind poison would be the best bet but are poisons as strong as diseases?

Poisons always work faster than disease but disease has the best potential for a debilitating impact. Poisons work on a 10 sec timer whereas disease works on a 40 sec timer.

And what kind of mind damage per tick could I do with 0,0,0,4? The tic damage will vary by the pack stats. Take the effectiveness on a pack and apply this formula: Base Eff x (1 + CM Eff/100) = Max damage

So a pack with 300 Base Eff used by a CM 0004 will do 315 a tic. At 4004 you will do 525 a tic. At Master you do full double damage at 600 a tic.

thats enough to get 1500-1600 buffs out of90 med use D buffs, depending on your BE clothing and Bivoli usage....

Hey thanks for the info : }

So poisons is the best way to go for pvp with limited skill points and I suppose that 0,0,0,4 is better than 4,0,0,0 ?

I am assuming that you can self buff?

What is Bivoli?

Definitely. At 4000 you won't even be able to use Class A AE poisons...

It's a chef food that stacks seperately from bio clothing, and base wound treatment ability. It can range up to 25...I've heard of better but never seen it. Very useful in getting top level buffs.

Thanks again for the info : }

So if I bought high quality buff packs and used BE clothes plus Food I can get some decent self buffs?
