Pikeman Archive

i have to agree with warwidow on this one 100%. forget cm related to pike dots, pike dots are now gone and that's good. now we take it a step further and get rid of cm dots too i ranted about this pre cu when i found out the cm's would still have dots and people jumped on my back (as i'm sure they will now) so i quieted down and said lets see what happens.

last night i was out pvping and it was great fun under the new system when i noticed a player wanting to duel anything and everything. he got a duel with a jedi and sure enough lol, i saw the poison attack come out. he was a cm/ranged... and yup, sure enough he destroyed the jedi...

it doesn't matter that the tick is not 800+ anymore cause all damage has been nerfed down. what does matter is that a dot will continue working when the cm is kd'd. it will keep ticking when the dotted player moves out of range or out of sight, both of which are strategies for ranged and melee respectively. it's similar to me hitting a player once with my pike and then watching him die. not much skill in that.

...now, one might say sure they have strong offence, but their defence sucks. so really if they hit you with poison you can run up and dominate them once you in range and kill them pretty quick!! guess again..... they are considered a combat prof of course, AND they can offset their weak defense with another prof that has strong defense, allowing them to last. also, they will still have a combat rating of 80, so they can hold their own quite well and wait for you to tick down.

and don't kid yourself...and action tick at this stage of the game is just about the most deadly thing out there, action is sooooo important. so if your cheering cause their mind attack is gone here's something to think about...WHO CARES
