First, I am fully aware I am about to be flamed by every Trader on Rubi-Ka.... so flame away, i'm prepared
Traders and PvP..... You've got to be flippin' kidding me. A trader can OE any profession that uses any kind of weapon (non-ma) to ZERO percent effectiveness.
This means that you will never hit the Trader... your screen will flood with "you tried to hit Traderkickingyourass, but missed."
I am a level 167 Soldier using a QL200 CHS with title maxed Assault Rifle, FULL QL200 AR implants, AR mastery and Total Focus.. My AR is at 1007 and SMG is about 800. With just two drains I am at 25% on my gun and then hit the trader for minimum damage only... with just one more drain i'm at zero% and not hitting at all.
It is also at this time that the Traderkickingmyass has about 1400~ attack rating against my TITLE maxxed Evades which for duck exp is about 750.... ROFLMAO hahahahahha
They have root and AREA root. I think the only profession that has a small chance against any trader is MA.. because if an MA has 1000 MA damage lets say he hits for 500~ and crits for 2.5k or so ( I don't know exactly, don't quote me on that ) when drained like 400 he will still hit for 300~ and crit maybe for about 1.5k or so.. A soldier or other weapon based profession will hit for 500-1000 at 1000 Attack Rating depending on weapon and and crit for 2.5k~ but if you debuff that by 400 then you are at ZERO percent effectiveness.
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT TRADER DRAINS IN PVP.
I am not crying for a NERF, I'm asking for a Fix... because this is obviously some broken aspect of the game that was never ever intended to be this way....
Add to that.. everyone and their momas are making traders for pvp now.... IT'S CRYING "NERF ME, PLEASE GOD, NERF ME!!".
I've played every class.. and Trader till level 74 (BigFreQ, Atrox Omni, RK2). I twinked out and even after the heal nerf the OE patch was there, and I was even more powerful than before. It was sick and I deleted the character... you can verify that, the Gods honest truth
I didn't delete him because he was too powerful but more because nobody that wasn't another trader would dare duel me, I resorted to ganking in MMD which i did not enjoy and I did not want to level him, because he was build just for PvP as a level 74 twink... so he's dead. btw... he was level 74 and used a 190 Windchaser which was not OE when i Drained my opponent twice (one divest and one plunder).
I'm sure i'm going to get flamed here by the Traders.. but there as to be a small percentage of Traders that agree that they are ridiculously overpowered and need to be "adjusted".
Please post all replies... Flames, Recomendations, Opinions ect... I am ready and Prepared.
BUMP for a Trader "Fix", "Adjustment", "Nerf" whatever the hell you want to call it..... give them some love, but bring on the hate.
