I'm sorry but Commandos are just as affected as you guys are with the DOT nerf. You have to keep in mind that everything that is hitting you is hitting commandos as well. But you are right, combat medics are the only profession hat uses a DOT that has not been affected.
Um... no, that isn't actually correct. Since you guys do MUCH more damage than we do, your potential"exposure time" to your opponent is less than ours.

Thats why I said with the exception of commandos. Commandos were hit very hard by this publish.
I can understand why you may feel that I said that commandos weren't hurt... I suppose my statement was rather ambiguous. The "who are not effected" part was for the CMs who as of yesterday were just as lethal in PVP as ever.

Agreed. Commandos got it pretty hard. Granted they needed a little balancing out, but I believe that they were hammered by this patch. Again, I must express that there is no reason to complain. Complaints lead to more nerfs, and more nerfs just lead to more complaining, and so on. Indeed, the best course of action is to work to fix what's broken, rather than complaining that what was once amazing is now simply ok.

I became blademaster about a week and a half ago and have to say I love it to death. I have played almost all the combat professions since I have been playing SWG (damn holo grind) and fencer is quite fun to play. I love the fact that I can slap COB on and run around and heal/rez people in battle and feel quite safe from most ranged proffessions.
With bleeds now not being stacked isn't a really big deal for me, but the less dmg is horrible. Having been a TKM I know how hard it isn't to run and and spam high ham cost specials just to finsh people off quickly. I think our bleeds really helped and made a few people on my serverat least think twice before spaming hordes of UH3/mind hit. You really haveto play smart when you play fencer. I enjoy playing a class where I can use my brian and keep myself alive instead of spaming just the same specials over and over again.
Kaynab, if you ever need a blademaster to help you test things out for the purpose of making a profession I love better or keep it from getting nerf you can msg me in game anytime. (just promise me DS members won't be shooting off fireworksin the background to crash my cpu please 
)I'll have master doc today afterI finsh my crafting. Oh and anytime you want to do testing give me a 15 mins or so heads up cause I'll transfer my stun layeredcomp armor from my jedi over to my regular toon.

I totallly agree. I think that's why I love this class so much. If you're not juiced up, you can't just spam specials 'til the cows come home...You actually have to think about your strategy when you approach a target.
