Why cantI meditate while on fire. Or roll around in the dirt to put myself out for that matter.

I got lit on fire by a commando..asI am sure most of you are these days. I finished him easily but too my dismay I kept burning and could not meditate to stop it.

Do you guys think this should be added to the list of things we can self heal?

Very simple answer to put out a fire DOT. Run into water. No, I'm not joking, it actually works.

This isn't the only condition that we cannot meditate with. Dizzy, stun, blind, and a few more won't let us meditate. I with that this would change.

Well, in my opinion meditation to me is a strong mental force type of skill. If you think about it, it would be kinda hard to meditate while you're on fire, unable to think straight, or stunned. Now blind, we should be able to. Dont you close your eyes when you meditate?

every heard ofThich Quang Duc?

the monk that set himself on fire in protest. didn't cry, didn't run, just sat there and didn't move at all.

well considering this game isn't even remotly real, and never will be, i think its safe to sugest that there can be things in the game that help with balance that do not make perfect sense to real life senarios.

the fire from comandos like any other dot or disease should be cureable by meditating, if its not i consider it a bug that needs to be fixed, despite if developers intend it or not. in the name of balance, its not in sinc right now. Also the wounds caused by it do not effect TKMs as much as others, but compared to joe blow who can't ehal their own wounds, that is not inline with balance either, dont you think?

On the fire dot subject
I think they should introduce a new profession, Firefighter

Since the most present(probably only viable) professions in PvP both have a flame DoT and use it at large, the lack of ways to extinguish fire is really hitting hard on everyone. Most of the time I'd rather die than fall incap to fire, but the fact is you often just lay there, noone being able to come close and DB you.

At least, medics can take out bleeding, docs can take out poisons and diseases. and yet, the biggest and most wounding DoT existing has no other way to be removed than running into water. I haven't been to tatooine lately, but i bet there's a lot less fighting going in bestine and anchorhead now.

There really needs to be an /extinguish command that anyone can use to put them selves out. Make it so you can't use it in combat, but let everyone use it.

IRL, the main idea behind meditation is to block off the surrounding world and turn your thoughts inward so that you don't even feel pain, heat, cold, or anything of that nature.
