Deuled a CM last night twice. God, I hate CM's. Used anti disease food (cho no hoola.. sp?), no luck the disease and poisons stuck first hit. &*^* Combat medics. They are still overpowered. Would be nice if dodge worked against them. Might give us a chance to avoid the DOT's. I'm not saying we should be able to avoid themindefinitely, just give us a fighting chance.

If you do not use resist buffs or are/travel with a doctor with area heals, you did not benifit from the last lowering of Combat Medic power.

The game isnt designed around 1v1 situations, its something you have to learn with, no matter what profession you are, someone will always be able to beat you.
Basically you want to make CM's useless, make them effected by poison resist buffs, have to deal with single and area poison cures AND make them also deal with counterattack/block/dodge.

Not saying CM's should be nerfed again. We should have a chance to avoid disease and poison once in a while, even without resist buffs. How many other professions, hit thier intended target 100% of the time?

We don't hit 100% of the time. We do have a guarenteed chance to land the poison/disease though (i.e. resists buffs can't get you to 100% resist). Just get good resist buffs if you really want to go after a CM. Pistoleer does have an advantage over the melee stackers because the Terrain Neg doesn't play as big a role against Pistoleers as it does against them.
Just go at a CM with a Geo with Eye Shot (or Last Ditch/Stopping). Their mind will be gone pretty fast beacuse they'll need to try a few times beacuse of resist buffs.

Yeah but when you do hit armor and def's dont help you. IMO CM is a proffession used by those who dont know how to PvP and take the quick way out. Btw most PvP takes place in cities where terrain Neg isnt a factor(unless your running up the hill near bestin). When i was on test center ahiza i did the rifleman/CM temp and it was so cheap. All i needed to do was throw a posion stand back and let it work. If i died i came back out unbuffed and threw some more. Eventualy i could kill off a group of people with out realy trying.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I've used that tactic before when a base was being raided 6 on 1. CM is pretty overpowered, but we don't have a 100% chance to land. I'm simply dispelling false information that make the profession appear more overpowered then it is.
