These seem to be the only guys that can consistantly drop me*if they have a group and hit there mind poison early.
I usually try and take these guys out first, but If they land multiple poison packs I'm done, mind screwed!!
Is there any way to defend against them? They can outrange anything out there?
Usually what ever group the CM's are in will stop attacking to heal the guy, If there's more than 3 healing the guy, I'll kill myself before they do.
I am inNO way calling for a nerf, just looking for an angle.

Skill tapes, enhanced clothes, special clothing loot, ect.. that have poison and/or disease resist. Of course the best defense is to knock them down before they apply poison or disease. If you are fighting in a group against a CM it might be wise to duck ouyt of the fight for a few seconds and clear the disease with meditate if possible. Meditate clears them pretty fast.

I'm unsure of be enhanced clothing but there are loot drops that have poison/disease resist... alkahra (spelling) robes and belts normally have it. Another trick is to have a combat medic fighting with you that can disease and poison the others mind pools. A cm uses mind to throw the poisons so if they get hit with a willpower/focus disease stacked with a mind poison they will be an easy target. Any chefs out there know if there's food that help against poison or disease?

It's the aakuans who drop belt and robes that have resists. Also, some armor and clothing attachments have poison resists. There is a new chef food that increases poison resistance.
The only "cures" once you get tagged are waiting it out, meditating (though you have to be out of combat to do this), and doctor cures.

One of the new foods gives +12% poison/ disease resist. You can only eat one dose at a time though.

Have a doctor handy, thats the point behind the combat balance so that every profession will need another one.

The doc tka combination won't be nearly as powerful under the new HAM system since you can't spam specials and heal the damage. You maximum HAM will just get smaller and smaller until you run out and you can't heal the maximum. Only food/spice can increase it.

Um, yes it will. When you're buffed, you can spam specials all day long...
