who uses nr8 these days ?
- few (very few) pvpers who gets all buff running, perks nr8 and go hunt for some duels or some flagged players to gank (and unperk/reperk every 48h, fun)
- very (very) few pvpers in BS... once debuffed in decontamination, they kill noone, they attack noone, they just run and try to cap points. fun.
- pvmers who needs a serious setup to tank some mobs (hags, dreads, ...)
perking nr8 is a choice : loose all your nano abilities/buffs (most of buffs are self for all profs), and get a huge resistance/immunity to nano attacks.
the point is EVERYONE can perk nr8, it's not profession locked. it's a part of everyone's toolset, it offers diversity in the game. you want to pvp ? then learn to loose too
NR adjust ? fix NR check first maybe ?
