OK i have a problem thats ticking me off. i have one of the best temps on the game right now and i was just pwned 3 times today. once by a cm once by a #%@ with dots and once again by a cm. Im getting sick of the dots cause its just like another dang cm but at least they are moslt likely being removed. but the real annyoing one is the CMs. is there anyway to kill one solo? i Fought one who had fencer(master, i think) and cm. she poisoned me and we fought for a bit then i was incaped, got up was incaped agail soon after, used force of will, then fought for a good 1 min or 2 and then finaly died. that fight wasnt so bad. probably cause she wasnt master CM. dunno. but then the second CM i just recently was killed by, had rifleman and cm, he poisoned me and my mind was instantly gone so i used force of will again and his friend came along and finished me off. i want to know if it is possible to take one of the morons on solo? what special hits would you do if you were to do that? i tried kd, then mind hit 3 over and over but one of them had extremely good armor and killed me anyway. if i dont find any way around this i might quit the dang pvp and go artisan. if not forever at least untill the dots go away. and why is it that its mostly every CM you see is rebel. whats up with that. is that the only way they can win? cause my bro is the exact some template on tarquinas, but hes never had any trouble with this. he hates dots, same here. they are cool to use but its just like a cm again, so i guess rebs arent as dumb on his server. so anyone have any ideas? i might move servers if i cant find anyway around this. and dont get me wrong on the dots i love'em but they are annoying. its like cheating. or like putting a CM on your sword.

Well if you really believe that one Template is "The Best" and should never lose to anyone else, then you have a reality problem. Secondly, CMs lose quickly to certain professions. Think of paper -rock -scissors...
My advice is to get the doc resistance buffs (as already mentioned) or pick up some healing abilities. Either way, you'll probably end up more frustrated if you fix your template to kill those last 3 people, but end up losing to 10 more cause you lost your stacked defenses....
About Def stackers and people that use DOT's join them if u just cant win.

What if there are no docs with the resist buffs tho? is that just not a day to go pvp'ing or should you do something else? Would you go PvP'ing without brandy, canape, ahrisa, thakitillo, muon, or stun armor? There are alot of different professions out there and every one of them has the ability to put a DoT on you in some form or fashion. If you don't have good resists on then you dont have all of your bases covered and when you die you can't complain. If necessary, go buy your own resist packs and if the doctor doesn't have their own you can give them yours to use on you (be sure to not let them keep it either).
do the armor and clothing attachments work when they have for example: +2 poison resist or +2 disaese resist? Yes, they help but not as much as buff resists. Foods that lower the duration and the effectiveness of the DoT work as well (including fire DoT's).
LOL sorry about writing a HUGE paragraph on the post. lol. i was ticked at the dang cms so bad i wrote a lot. lol. You should be more ticked at people with MIND fire toys or SoE for making an unhealable small pool the center of all things combat.
