On my server, Kauri, the current trend in PVP has been DOTs. Everyone and his buddy are either CM's or Pikemen with awesome mind poison/fire and occasionally disease. Almost every PVP fight I've been in recently, I've been set on fire and poisoned. I incap in less than a minute with no mind (I guess that makes me stupid).


Any suggestions about what to do? Do poison/disease/fire resist armor and clothing attachments make a big or at least significant difference? Or do I just need to bring a doc along?


Help me.... you're my only hope... j/k

Honestly...unless you're a Doctor, you'll be in serious trouble when a mega-DOT hits you.


Until the revamps and HAM changes, DOT's are going to continue to be very powerful weapons, weapons TKA can combat (with meditate, unless you're on fire) but can't really stop...

Unfortunately, powerful DoT weapons have become so commonplace that there's really no way to escape it. There's not much you can do other than choose your remaining skillpoints with that in mind. As you can see from my build, I've got next to nothing to fight back with (DoTted pistols are few and far between and weak to boot), and no medical skills. I have to rely on either medicos helping me, the fight ending before I'm incapped and can meditate, or burst run. Hotkeyed parwan nutcake is my friend.

Hmmmm i cant say i have any recomendation beyond you can go doc if you wanted. From what ive heard fire resistance is "supposed" to do "SOMETHING" now that they have "FIXED" it. As far as i know though no one who has ever used them has seen a difference and being somewhat in the attachments buisness ive never seen any fire or poison resistance above +2 and that high probably once. Glad to say dots dont trouble me

Its mostly Combat Medics who are causing the massive DoTs...nothing much but to be a doc, and even that is pushing it since it can sometimes take several heals to get rid of a powerful poison that has been stacked on you.


I can only hope they will rebalance the CMs further. (No offense texxie )
