Rolling back Pub 5? So we can be as screwed up as everyone else? Got news for ya: Combat Balance is the same uber nerf that we got except its for everyone else. Take the entire game into consideration and not just CHs. Then you might actually understand what they are thinking.
And get off the correspondent's back! His job is to communicate to the devs the state of the profession objectively (something some of you may want to try one time). He has NO say in development and neither does TH. The community as a whole is too close to the problem to see past their own class. There are 33 classes currently in this game with 4 more on the way, a massive combat system which needs to be overhauled, a delicate economy to balance, plus new content and items to add. I am so sorry that they didn't drop everything just to fix something that in your mind is the highest priority in the game.
If you want to argue a vaild point great. I love a good debate. But please get off this BS about the devs hate us and our corrispondent is ignoring us. We aren't broken! We were broken pre-pub 5. Thats the truth if you like it or not. If you wanna know why you don't get responses from devs its because you post crap like this saying that the devs hate us.
Equal footing with who? The CM/Rifleman or the Stackers (see also FOTM)? They are suffering from the same combat imbalance as we all are. How can our creatures damage someone when they are buffed so high up that only mind death can finish a fight? How is it that a Rifleman can shoot a "slow but damaging weapon" at the speed cap of 1 second? You just have to hang in there until the CB that is due in Publish 10 (not 2005).
Enjoy the class for what it IS not what it WAS. If you can't then just go to another class that fits your definition of uber and come back later.
Sorry for hijacking the thread but this devs hate us BS has got to stop. I hear it on every board and it is getting old.

It's got nothing to do with 'hate' ... it's about competence of the folks making the decisions and plans. We've been hearing the Wait for the Magic Balance song for five months, forgive me if I'd like to hear another tune.

I don't like to use my pets as sacrificial lambs. I cost the MCH's at least 2 Vit points per pet, in the end for nothing.
I know they arene't real but I have more love and respect for my pets than to abuse them in that manner.

________________________________________________________________________________
Got any lost love for Droids? Neither does anyone else but an MDE. :->
Try this:
Get your friendly MDE to make you an LE Repair Droid, which was totally useless before Pub 8 came out, because it was the only Droid in whom a Repair Module did NOT work! (NOTE: CH's from Novice on up can have out a Droid PLUS the normal number of pets they are allowed.)
Have him put one Combat Module in it and 2 Auto-Repair Modules. He will do very minimum damage, but you don't want him to anyway, because it would subtract from yours, but he will sit there and TANK forever for you! The new ones have almost 6000 HAM, and with the two Auto-Repair Modules, or even 3 (the max it will hold), healing by you between battles is minimal. (I take that back. Can't have all 3 auto-repair modules in anything but Probots and DZ-70's, which are the only droids with inherent attack abilities.)
Just send him in FIRST, then your pets, and he will draw the aggro while you use the specials and whatever decent damage your pets have, plus your own.
You want an Army to help you? Most of us don't PVP alone anyway, so get a bunch of your groupmates to get these same droids, and watch them heal each other! The auto-heal, when enacted before the battle, allows each droid to heal itself and all other droids for the same amount every 10 seconds! Ten of these droids healing 37 HAM (on all 3 bars, btw!) on each other is 370 healing every 10 seconds!
-------- I was MCH before the November nerf, and going back to (most of) it now that Droids are better than ever.

We aren't supposed to be losing vitality in PVP. This was supposed to be changed, what, 3 months ago? Iadmit vitality loss sucks but at least the devs agree (now if they would only fix it like they said they would).
Yep they (the devs) agreed that it should be removed along with deacy however they have yet to implement it and are not giving vert any answeres on it
