Thread: Crafting Cure State packs
novamarine wrote:
Hello,
I was curious how much or if at all the power of a cure status pack (be it poison, disease, stun, blind, fire, etc) comes into play when curing those effects? Which easily translates into do I need to go find good resources for crafting those packs in order to be able to cure reliably?
Many thanks,
nova
Poison/Disease - Yes, strength can make a difference when battling Combat Medic poisons. NPC poisons are generally weak enough to stop with one application, but if your up against top notch CM poison, it might take 2 or even 3 applications of a cure to get rid of it.
Stun, Blind, Dizzy, Int, etc... - No strength doesnt matter on these cures. One application will cure the state.
Cure State packs, at least as far as I've experimented with, power doesn't matter. I had a friend drop continuous intimidates on me for 2 min straight, and one crappy little Cure Intimidate cleared it right away.
As for poison/disease, that's another story. I have a CM friend. After a bit of checking, we found her a way to drop poisons at 1/sec. It's not an exploit, it's in game and working as intended. It's not pretty, at least for the enemy. As Docs, I'm sure you know of how this was done, or can figure it out, we'd just rather not give the info freely to those that don't know ![]()
From what we've found, a quick 6 second bomb (single and area across all 3 primaries), with a 544 strength cure poison pack, it took 2 cures. With a 379 poison cure pack, it took 3. So now we're working on making the strongest poison/disease cure packs we can. I hate CMs.
Hey Nova!! ![]()
personally, I go for charges all the way when I make a state-pack
as far as I've seen, power means nothing in curing states - always works with one stick
and aradz is right about the poison/disease cures... CM's are a pain in the arse, and sometimes it takes 2-3 sticks with a cure poison/disease to work with the new insect meats and venoms out there
Radiant CM's are nasty... and the Rifleman/CM "aka Battlestopper" build is still supreme in PvP until something drastic happens ![]()
