ok just trying to clear up some poison information regaring the poison in pvp and pve to better keep everyone better informed

ill start with making the poison it requires reactive gas inert petrochem liquid petro chem fiberplast radioactive and a few other things and high quality is required or the results are nothing special and let us not forget it is an expendable item

heres the poison test notes the particular poison in question was made by Tequila on ahazi using 2 of the 3 advanced components and 900+ quality resources its effectiveness was maxxed out had 36 charges and 50mish range and was a mind poison c unit

Poison in PvE

i tested it on 3 different mobs being the following

Imperial cadet resisted %50 of the time did a good 250-350 per tick

Ravenouse torton Resisted 80% of the time (threw 5 poison shots before it hit) did 250-350 per tick

Dark jedi master on dathomir near nightsister lair allways resisted (tried 6 times was resisted each time didnt trya agin)

overall its damage/restistence ratios for PvE are sub par

Poison in PvP

tested it on 2 people

resisted 0% of the time did a good 250-350 damage per tick on both

end conclusions

Yes poison can be a very powerfull PvP tool however it deals the same damage in PvP as PvE and is very expensive to make and is one of the combat medics 3 class defining abilities nerfing this right now without some form of counterbalance would destroy 33% of the combat medics abilities

the problem begins here

from a cm perspective-poison is incredibly expensive to make is a limited use item and all but worhtless untill master combat medic being effective wiht poison is one of the rewards for investing the time points and credits required to master cm and is my primary offense

from a non cm perspective-my damage has been reduced by 75% and youg et a high damage long durationa ttack wich makes it completely unfair because a doctor is required to remove the poison and no one can heal mind thus making it overpowered

suggestions to a reasonable compromise

increase poison damage to much higher ammounts lower resists to it and add the %75 damage reduction so its not overpowered in pve but effective in pvp

give the CM's something else perhaps the anti-doc route docs buff stats maybe cm's could debuff with packs that target a specific pool and its substats wrapped into 1 pack and reduce poisons pvp damage

use elenoras suggestion and expand upon the ranged support line

lastly take the dev approach and ignore poison alltogether and leave it as is

anyone has any comments critisism suggestions etc. feel free to chime in

Resists are based on potency..

Potency is based on Ease of use experimentation.. of which you did none.

My class C poisons do 450-550 a tick .. with basic components.

Might wanna check and get better components

Charges experimentation = distance/range (and the obvious)

Ease of use = resists and the obvious.

Effectiveness = duration and damage.

mind poison C

potency 76

effectiveness 295

range 34

I tried to poison a total of 28 times in Pvp combat, using adv resillience compounds and adv dispersal mechinisms with the best resources availible on lowca. I was resisted 28 times. These are mind C's btw

Assuming you are not using any SEAs and are indeed a Master Combat Medic...

mind poison C

potency 76 (about 30% resist rate)

effectiveness 295 (295 x 1.90 = 561 damage per tick)

range 34 (68m applied range)

These numbers don't match your claims...explain.

thats what i was getting the other night ill do more testing today want to see it for yourself make a char on ahazi start on rori narmle and message cea ill be happy to demonstrate 1st hand

tested poison again today the original night i tested was the night before they fixxed the los thing and i was throwing it throuhg buildings now its doing around 500 per tick for some reason ive no complaints 500 kills imps real fast but im dreading them nerf poison to no damage at all now

hey merrin, where does the x 1.90 in the effectiveness come from? I usually can't see the damage per tick that my poisons do during combat and the chat log doesnt say anything either.

dobe dobe do, btw has anyone had problems deploying their poisons after theyve been knocked down and/or dizzyied?

lol is it fine?

hahaha so having a master combat class with a 20-30 dps weapons that can be shot at 40m and can be cured by doctors is far?

the reason why dots are cureable and do low dps is because they were appliable without LOS...

so guess what CMs are gonna be petitioning for stronger dots...that do more damage and faster...and have better range and resist rates

because u want dots to be treated just like every other weapon...

be careful what u wish for...

1.90 comes from +90 combat medicine effectiveness...it adds 90% to your poison/disease damage and adds 90% to your min/max ramged stim values.

nah im usually crying to bad to see my hotkeys to even try to hit a poison after i ran out for a sec and then ran back behind a wall but BH fireKD knocked me down anyways...

I think CM poison is fine, just fix the **edit** through the wals crap.
