No you can't. Traders will be immune to their own drains.

Mh, did Kintaii state that somewhere? I don't see it in the document. The debuff and buff part are each in their own line. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a not Self tag on the drains.
"You cannot attack yourself" ?
If that's the case then no one will ever accidentally drain them-self, which is still a boon for new/bad players.
Either way is going to have advantages.
The biggest nerf for lowbies trader has yet to come...
I expect a Level Locked on mochams.
I have 4 lowbie trader twinks, and my 5th and 6th are almost done.
Noone's twinks will be as affected as mine, and yet I think this is a brilliant decision. I shouldn't be able to take down 5 to 10 people on one character, noone should be.
Traders have been the superior force in TL1-4 PvP for far too long, and are in the top tier of TL5 and TL7 PvP profs.
They will still have a good defense at TL7 via the Beauty of Life style healing they're getting access to and the crippling nano drains which will shut down many casting profs.
For once they'll have to put up with not being the best possible twink at almost every level. Please, cry me a river!
This change will be about bloody time, and even people with trader twinks admit that :)
Drains nerfed next to uselessness, NBD shortened, loosing a ton of aad, slapping a nanoresist check on our heal and raising it's nano requirements to a level where we would need mochams, all procs/drains landed and a pocket-trader to cast it reliable....yeah, the first thing i would do is jump in here and claim that trader will have a good defense and compare their heal with BoL.
So, why a 15s duration on drains in PvM?
Why doesn't this debuff get the same treatment as other hostile nanos, having a seperate duration for PvP and PvM?
tl;dr it all but i have to say a few things.
Im sorry you decked out your 164 trader and it is gonna be less effective @ OP, but these changes are gonna improve the game i think. Towers at tl3 and below are gonna be completely different now. Trader reign as pvp untouchables has finally come to an end. After like 9 years you guys have had your fun now let other professions have a chance that is how i see it and i hope it stays that way.
ehehehe high time this happens, made my day!
Blah, blah, blah. Traders are going to keep their cl buffing potential and while loosing some of their drain power they will get nano nukes. Most of the professions are just p.o.s. with their nano pools drained so if anyone thinks hes going to have some fun on lowbie notum wars on his doc or whatever he is wrong :)
I hope you be right, i hate no challenge fight.. ;) to bad i dont play doc for pvp
OMG Why ppl wanna nerf one more MP nano? :o Just to nerf lowbie traders?
