Thread: feeling better hope they dont nerf it
well i have to say its not perfect but at least i canput my title over my head of master pikewith a little pride in a group now whether i get to keep it is another story 
it feels good for once instead of being on the verge of death at all times to use my doc skills to heal someone besides myself all the time in a fight, to tell the truth im afraid to say anything negative or the nerf bus will come through again
It's on the hotfix list for tomorrow. But it's fun doing a bolma mission on Dath and seeing all of them laying down so peacefully...so helplessly for so long. I should feel ashamed, but...nah.

Yeah, the creature KD thing is lame and will be changed soon im sure.
The dizzy requirement to make KD useful on NPCs is ok - I still think its not a good solution, but at least it's a little more tactical. I managed to solo the imp side of the act2 mission (camp 10 npcs with 7-8k HAM that shoot for 200ish) using the dizzy/KD method combined with some fun single pulling. It still makes area KD pretty useless though since you have to area dizzy (and thereby allow a group a chance to hit you) first.
I'm still hoping that they'll buff our passive defense skills up eventually. I was thinking a neat skill that we and some other meleeprofessions could get would be some kind of armor proficiency that reduces the HAM penalties. Something on the order of 50-75% by master. That would make armor worth wearing in a lot more situations: i.e. when you don't have to be constantly spiced/buffed up.
