Not mind attacks.... mind damage from our weapons.

Who knows what they are going to do?

But, no, the panic over mind damage being taken awayis unjustified. The confusion came over a statement which read that, by making changes to the HAM system, mind wouldno longer be "a special damage type." People read that to mean a "type of damage done by specials." But that is not what they were likely saying. I have posted several breakdowns of why it is highly, highly unlikely that they were saying this. But what it boils down to is that Mind damage is"special" because mind damage is unhealable. Thus, in the context of what we know they are doing with the HAM system, and in conjunction with what they said in the rest of that statement about making HAM costs equal with regard to both abilities and damage, what they are almost certainly talking about is making mind healable.

So, no, they are not taking away mind attacks. They are probably going to make mind healable in the next patch. We will still have some advantages (i.e., we will be damaging the same pool that the HAM costs for healing come from), but we will not have the same advantage we have now.

They nerfed both my profession to hell now. Welcome to star wars nerf herders, the most non star warsy game made. It couldve been the best if the devs didnt listen to all the whinny people and make the game how it was supposed to be. Oh well, Ill probably quit soon, its getting boring anyway and no content added.

so now instead of losing PvP 70% of the time Im goin to lose it 80% now, right?

We need to get some more info on what that statement actually means.... if they remove mind attacking specials (which is the way I interpret it) then it will be major suckage, same with rifleman.

Ok, take some time about thinking what taking away mind hits would be like...anyone who interpreted it that way, is considered an idiot by me. Why would they take away head hits from riflemen? Riflemen are snipers, you fools, they are supposed to hit a targets head. They would never do that. They are just making mind like health and action, so that all proffessions have their concentrated pool attacks to be just as important as mind attacks. Case closed.
