I sure hope a trader was outdamaged by a similar level enforcer! It would be pretty rude if traders got debuffs, tradeskills AND better damage!
I have to say I disagree with you KK about 1/2 the profs having a 50 percent or better chance against a trader in pvp! I'd be curious as to what profs you think do so well vs. trader. Only two I can think of are enforcer and doc, and they can MAYBE beat a trader.
