Excuse me maybe i missed something, you were an uber buffed master rifleman and you couldnt take down a CM? Something isnt right here, As a Master rifleman myself,I fire once every second and with HS2 dealing close to 300 dmg every shot, but since this is PVP lets just say you used HS3 for slightly more damage. How could you as well as several others not withstand a simple DOT like poison and disease . Its doesn't harm you right away, hence the title DOT.
You alsomentioned thathe would thentake out his pistol and fire at the mind pool when you were hurt from the poisons and diseases, just putting it on the table, pistols dont have specials that hit mind specifically, so in other words this is impossible, unless he just got lucky every time, which is possible...
In conclusion, either you were not uber buffed, the CM had several friends helping him, your not a master rifleman, this never happened and you got some beef with a CM somewhere, or whatever else. In reality there is no way an un buffed CM could take on commandos, riflemen, and everyone else that was in your group at one time without even once having his/her attribute go below 1/2.
If its not too much trouble please try to explain what happened a little more accurately, justso I can betterunderstand this problem of yours a little better.
We didn't get the first shot off, he tossed poisons at 90something meters and kited we gave pursuit after healing the poison but after we started moving the doc was having a hard time keeping us all healed and once I run out of mind I can't use specials so even if the doc heals me I still will be out of the fight until my mind regens and by then im poisoned again. And since healing takes mind as well the doc had to stop giving out heals after a while so were were all just auto firing(and he was wearing comp but not buffed) and every time he got low he healed himself and would BR if he could out of range to throw another poison.
i would think to disease someone or posion them you would have to be upclose.
dunno just doesnt make sense to lob a disease 64meters with the accuracy of a sniper rifle. if they want CM to do that they should make them wield dart guns or something. kinda like the croc hunter trying to tranq a crock.
dunno just seems odd to me. its odd like the spraystick being a rifle.
