Traders stacking debuffs to debuff....
Reminds me of the cloaking device stacking, to use a higher ql cloak, which was nerfed.
In my opinion, traders shouldnt be able to buff their nano skills with drains. Stacking drains by draining nano skill breaks Funcom's concept of not being able to self buff their best nanos. screw mochems, just double drain, and cast away.
MP's should be the dominant Nano skill debuffer... whereas traders should be the dominant weapon skill debuffer. What other class can debuff weapon skills? none.... but the trader. That in itself should be powerful enough for single profession.
If traders could only debuff weapon skills, that allows a share of players (NT's, MPs) to kill them in pvp. As it stands now, traders generally dominate every other profession.
Traders are the only ones to self buff best weapons and best nanos. Take away the nano debuff aspects, which forces them to require a mochems to do the very best debuffs, also allows NR to work unmodified since the trader nano atk ratings will not be pumped to ridiculousness.
The ultimate debuffing duo should be an MP and a trader... MP debuff nano skills, Trader debuffs Weapon skills. Maybe this'll be considered as balance. As of now, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone has a pvp trader as an alt or reroll. I know I do.
Soloing PvM with a doc is tricky. Pvping with an engy is tricky. Playing a trader in both pvm and pvp is NOT tricky.
