How to deal with healing mobs

[_______________Preed]

Just something learned while playing mobs that heal themselves and their buddies.. First off they do so with much les frequency (thank you FUNCOM) but to stop them from healing atall try this... go buy the nano Mat Mattem incompetence or the Bio Met incompetence and blast em with it as a starter.. ive found biomet alone wil do the trick.. TA-DA!! they cant use their own heals because of a lack of skill! i blew throu several missions doing that and not a single mob treied to heal himself hope this helps!

i reposted this from another forum i answered to.. someone give this a try or tell me it its couinterable in any way.. im just curious really as it works 98% of the time for me.. fighting mobs that simply cant heal themselves because of lack of skill after the debuffs. Correct me if im wrong please. just trying to be usefull and helpfull

a -20 skill debuff may help against a mob that uses some heal that needs 80 bio met.

losing 20 bio met on a high lvl mob that goes from usin a 680 BM heal to the best he can cast that use 660 bio met doesnt make 1 damm bit of a difference :P

Moreover, I'm not certain that MOBs do fair skills check... Like I haven't noticed that much difference when depriving/ransacking with my Trader... And this is much more than a mere -20 to these skills!

At least they don't seem to make a damn bit of difference.

A higher level trader can easily debuff 200 or more...actually the way D&R works they can do it a lot sooner in terms of level than most would think.
In PvP that shuts down most casters HARD (anything on quickbar is unusable, and they have to take time to dig up lower lev spells that aren't as good) and really hampers the crit rate on weapons. Sometimes people actually start to miss if your evades aren't at base skill.

PvM it doesn't seem to do didly-squat, even vs caster NPCs. Its still good for buffing and boosting the Trader's crit rate though

PS Funcom, HANDS OFF TRADER NANOS! YOU GOT THAT?!
