Now in this thread I can say what's really on my mind. You're attempting to rally support behind nerfing the Trader's debuffs in order to reduce a risk the NT profession has lived with since the game opened. Nuh uh...that's just lowOriginally posted by Garzu
Traders debuffs is way uber already vs nano skills, now FC has said:
Making them even more UBER. Unbeatable I would say, ppl already got huge problems with them.
I imagined the MP as the NT killer, guess I was wrong... seems to me that MPs, traders, docs, soldiers, crats, and any healing profession is supposed to be the NT killer. Who do NTs own? Engs and Fixers. At least we are not at the bottom, but a fixer with a runbuff (funbuff) and a shotgun can be damn tough.
They already got the top 4 best stuff any profession can have in the game:
1. Traders have the best damage weapons in the game, shotguns, with their draining of your skills their AMS increases vs your DMS, and your AMS decreases vs their DMS, making it more likely htey will crit against you, and more likely you will miss.
2. Traders got the BEST debuffs in the game.
3. Traders got AE roots, which is damn nice in pvp.
4. Traders got the 2nd best healing in the game, only beaten by docs. With 50% dmg vs 100% heals.... makes them so uber I didnt think it was even possible.
Personally I htink those 4 is the most important and best stuff any profession can have in pvp, and trader got it ALL. NO other profession is even close to Trader uberness, well maybe docs and soldiers.
The only Trader specific thing I want nerfed is their buffs and debuffs. THEY SHOULD NOT WORK AGAINST NANO SKILLS AFTER THE OE PATCH. Both their buffs AND debuffs should not work vs nano skills, only vs weapon skills. MPs are the nano buffers and debuffers, thats more than enough. I say let the MPs play a role in this game too... nobody wants them anymore at higher lvls, a trader can do it much better anyway + they do best dmg in the game and 2nd best healing... who needs an MP?
After the OE nerf, the trader can totally disable ALL professions just by a click on a button, they will have the power to turn your pet against you, they already can make your heals and nukes and roots and you name it totally useless, and in addition they now is going to totally ruin all weapons...
Traders debuffs AND buffs should NOLONGER work vs nano skills.
If they made that change, it might work. Well almost, they should remove crits and make heals and dmg 100% again.
If I were a Trader, I would already start suggesting nerfs for my own profession.
