You want a real PvP idea, nerf DoTs altogether, but do it with the rebalance so pikemen aren't left with nothing like we used to be.
But while they're at it they better nerf things like feign death to not be so moronic so DoTs aren't needed when someone wants to do that to PvP.

Who cares what Darkstarr's motivation is? His point remains valid.

In my opinion it isn't.
I've seen worse DoTs on gaffi sticks looted from tusken warlords, even mind fire ones.
DoTs in general need to be nerfed, but ONLY after the rebalance, pikemen will be useless without them in pvp once again.

Nobody's talking about removing DoTs from pikemen here, the point is to remove them from the brawler level and limit them to pikemen.

I never said remove, just nerf them.
As a pikeman/former master pikeman (Just dropped it for a bit of bio engineer, which I ended up keeping for about a week -_-) I should be the last person saying we have something that is too strong, but when I can stack my DoTs and do a 700-1000 tic mind poison+fire then I would say something is a bit unfair, especially when all of my mind DoT weapons are -1 uses, so they wont run out. (And yes, I can stack all 4 of the different DoTs on someone to do that much damage, although I've only done it to those extremes in PvP tournaments when there was some serious money invloved 
)

Before you people cheer for him, lemme let you all in on a little secret.
See, Darkstarr here does faction pvp, but he goes LD when he needs to escape and uses feign death.
But you see, when you go LD while feigned the only thing that can kill you is a disease (while that HAM pool isn't full) or a fire.
Now I wonder why this player (who is ruining faction pvp) would want those things nerfed...
or a rifleman with a posture-up attack...
Oops, did I let that slip out?

Even though I don't use the DOT pikes in pvp I still believe it should be a master pikeman certification due to people thinking we are "Mini CMS" WHICH WE ARE NOT!

One thing to keep in mind is that some people (myself included) use the DOT's on their weapons to give them an advantage in PVE. I regularly slap an action poison/fire on tougher NPC's and creatures, and would hate to see this taken away from me b/c they are being abused in the PVP realm. Considering the numerous drawbacks to Pikeman in PVE when compared to the other brawler professions, I think having this ability at the Master lvl isn't unreasonable. Also remember that NS LVA's wouldhave to be included in this petition as wellsince the certification for a Long Vibro Axe is polearms III.
