Anyone else thinks trader debuffs should be breakable?

With a low nano resist of only 100% they are always able to land their divest line. While i agree that at least one of their nano lines should be easily landable, i strongly disagree the way this line gimps their target for 3 minutes, a very long time in terms of pvp. With the way that half of the doc init debuffs are breakable, all mezzes are breakable, roots are breakable, trader drains should be breakable too, at least the divest lines. The doc vaccine nanos were supposedly supposed to help balance this issue but the doc vaccine lines are very short duration and only help docs. Unless vaccines become team castable and last for at least 5 min they are not the answer for trader debuffs.

I suggest making the divest line breakable while keeping the plunder line as unbreakable. Trader debuffs are still too strong in terms of pvp.

No i do not.

Why? It is one of their main advantages, just because you dont like what it does to you, doesnt mean it should be make pretty much useless.

What you do: You find ways to live with it, you have a back up plan some kind of strategy to make up for what you lose. Plain and simple. Nerfing another profession because you dont know how to fight them is kinda lame IMO. Yes i know they are killa's and that its a pain in the ass, but hell, deal.

Go level a trader up to a point where you can equip a QL199 snakemaster/QL200 whatever without it being OE before drains, try without drains, to kill someone.. then come back and post a new reply.

Traders need Divest or they are gimped. But for plunder. I think it should be breakable. OMG I just called for nerf /me raise flame sheild

YES trader nerfs need to be drained quickly

(not a spelling error

)

**Argulace** · Jan 6th, 2003, 23:11:42

no, they wear off too fast to be breakable.

**______________Insida** · Jan 6th, 2003, 23:37:28

Root have only 20% more duration and they break. But not only that, they also cost more nano and have higher resist.

**________tavumebottes** · Jan 7th, 2003, 00:02:54

u mean plunder are more easy to be resisted with the 190% NR
wich is huge versus a high QL root (ex highest QL trader 90% NR and lvel 15%)
but u are right root nanocost is huge when u use the highest one

back up plan in cae of trader drain = RUN

Your screwed.

**aaronb** · Jan 7th, 2003, 00:25:00

*sigh* here we go again...

**iloveposting** · Jan 7th, 2003, 01:06:54

The duration of the recieving end is a pain in the ass. Ofcourse if its a mass pvp...and you happen to get away you can always use Virus Scanners.

But during a fight, meh I dont know.
Anyway why are you still using a shotgun, they are probably the worst weapon to choose right now :P

**____________Infamine** · Jan 7th, 2003, 05:52:50

No drains are just fine, just dont get stuck into your supernova or its gonna hurt

**cold** · Jan 7th, 2003, 08:18:25

Maybe they could add breakable drains, just like the doc init debuffs.... drains twice as much, but chance to break when hit...

/me runs

**Wobble** · Jan 7th, 2003, 09:00:18

/me hands superrock a big can of STFU.

**Dyna18** · Jan 7th, 2003, 16:03:33

/me slaps Wobble for his great reasoning skills.

Drains are overpowered, they require low nano to cast (compared to roots), and last very long. Making drains breakable wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Two Words:

Virus Scanner

I see no problem with traders being able to use their nano weapons . Make a trader if you think it's fearsome ability. Next you'll be calling for everyone to be able to break DoTs, roots, slows, and any other hostile nano. Then a way for everyone to stop special attacks (Bursts, fling, whatever). Hell, lets just make a way so that class "X" can't hurt "my" class, so I can be uber. So sick of people wanting to nerf any class but THEIR OWN.

For the record, I am not a trader nor have I ever FPed as one in PvP. And yes I have battled plenty of them so I know what their drains can do.

**Moonshine** · Jan 7th, 2003, 19:53:13

The problem here is, as usually, PvP. You may say what you want but drains ARE TOO strong in PvP, end of story.

So what could be done about it?
Well, one solution could be to half the effect like dmg are handled in PvP... the thing is that it would prob. still be too powerfull.
