Thread: If you have been owned by a BH lookie here...
So how many times have you been happily pvping and a BH comes and kills you and all your buddies with the dreaded eye shot? Cant buff your mind, cant heal it and cant protect it cause those professions that can target it have ar1 weapons that ignore your armor. Sucks....
Well how about we ask for helmets that are ar2 and ar3. Mind is a terrbile thing to waste.
Typically helmets are tougher than body armor anyway. If they wont let us heal mind....or buff mind...how about some protection?????/

This is one of the more reasonable suggestions regarding this issue I have read. It makes sence, at least in theory.
And if someone stat migrates they can have about 900 in each main pool+500 from spice, +500 from musician for almost 2K of mind, it would take 20 eyeshots to kill that much mind. The BH would kill himself about 3 times before he kills someone with 2K of mind.
Hey i got 1300 mind plus 500 from food and another 600 or so from spice and wear compesite helm 50% effectivnees in all and Doc'Holiday a master pistoler with BH speced eyeshot drops me with 300 + per shot at something like 2 sec firring rate per shot
I dont even see him breakin a sweat when he does that
and eyeshot only targets the head as thats the only resists of its damage that i have seen, out of a 300 shot im lucky to resist like 80 at 35% of the time other times its like 40 30 even 20 which makes me laugh as a master armorsmith
Armor Rating is broken my main is master armorsmith and i run heaps of tests so dont think if you wear a full suit and an MK3 is gonna save ya
Holo has stated that the mindpool is not what is ment to deterimine win or loose factor of pvp
so lets hope some real change comes in the works im part pistoler master medic and i also want to see the pistoler styles work .
As for the BH been so powerfull without the eyeshot they got nothin that other 3rd tier profesions cant handel in combat 1 style 8 sec kill evenagainst characters with the greatest minds, no Profesion should be have that much advantage.

Mind: +500 for 600s
Focus: +500 for 600s
Willpower: +500 for 600s
Just so you know, the mind pool thing bothers BH's also. (at least it dos me) Here is my suggestion for fixing this.
Here is an easy fix for the mind damage issue, don't tie Mind damage to death. Just restrict use of special moves if you don't have the mind pool points available for it.
The devs have said that Mind Damage was not intended be be a combat issue. Originally, medics could heal Mind damage. The problem was that when medics could heal it, they could infinately heal others. When their Mind pool got low from healing, they would drop a mind heal on themselves and continue healing others damage. This is why they restricted mind healing to entertainers only. Of course this leaves Mind as the only pool that can't be healed in combat and, by extension, Mind damage the most valuable type to apply in combat.
The only down side to this is that if you can't be killed because of Mind damage the riflemen will be left without a special move that can kill an opponent. To fix this, the devs will need to give riflemen a special that targets a different pool. This shouldn't be too hard to do, just give them a body shot or leg shot type of attack to go along with the Head Shots. This will make them very valuable in group combat as they can target the medics and deplete their mind pools so they can't heal others, once that is done they can start targeting the other combatants. Take out the healers =Victory.
Personally, I don't think that spamming any move is a valid way to win PvP combat. If you can't think beyond the Flavor of the Day attack, change professions.
