DoT stacking has been changed so that each player attacking a target can only have one fire dot, one health bleed, one action bleed and one mind bleed.

somehow, I saw this coming... I'm thinking this is a way to make old combat skills from down the treeuseless, forcing one to only use the ones aquired on top. It's a great way to decrease our use of special attacks in combat

I liked this one though:

"PvP Death Penalty reduction: PvP deaths will no longer suffer 1% decay if items are insured after the player's death."

I am not talking about bleeds.

I am talking about looted NS lance drops with DOTs.

Currently the NS DOT Lances are the ONLY reason to be a pikeman.

I have paid millions, tens of millions for a collection of lances which is unmatched on Bloodfin.

In my tool bar I have 8 lances with mind fire, action fire, mind poison and action poison.

If the devs limit me to only hitting an opponent with 1 mind poison instead of the 4 I have, this will bea severe nerf!

Ummm dude no its not. Its actually evening out the poor vs rich players...people like YOU have millions to spend on weapons like that when most people dont. So your sayin because u can afford 10 weapons that add DOTs that u should beat someone that can only use 1? I have a feeling your not lookin after the PIKEMAN class buy actually your own selfish ass...

lol this game has always been tailored towards the people who powergame [and therefore have more to spend on better weapons, eg pre nerf t-21s, krayt pistols etc etc]

as for me I havent actually spent millions but I have traded lots of valuable loot thats been worth millions for my lances.

why would anybody want to even out poor versus rich - surely there should be a point to the pursuit of wealth. Anyhow this sucks - tho i dont have a lance collection comparable to yours Ossoi I have immensly enjoyed stacking the mind-dots i do have - the devs have with this change amusingly enough, because we all thought it was impossible - nerfed the pikemen profession.

and it might be noted - that there rae no notes about any fixes to our class. no suprise really

i have been pikemen since game came out and enjoy it - but if we get no fixes in the coming patches i think i shall quit much of pike keeping the accuracy tree for application of DOTs. Its really bugging me that they can leave a profession to have so many problems for so long.
