Its a shame that you cant just respond to a post with information and intelligence.
Who are you to state that I only want cures fixed to improve my template?
As most people know i primarily play an archer(as you have stated yourself on many occasions while flaming anything i post lol)
Btw, your math skills are pathetic. Do you honestly believe that 5 dp potions will equal 60 poisonings in the field? Who are you fighting that gets of 60 poisons? Your pvper must be extremely lame if he cant counter the noxxer in your example
Just wanted to point out that as just like not all poisoning attempts will be successful, not all cure attempts will be sucessful either. If we are just talking about just 1 potion each, assassins really do get 12 chances to poison your opponent from your single DP potion against their opponents' 1 chance to cure with a single GC potion.
Even Ninjas using poisoned shurikens and darts also get 10 charges from each DP option.
Other people too have voiced thier frustrations that PvP nox dexers/mages have between 80 to 100 skill points negated by a simple potion. Poisoning has been reduced to a tactic to delay healing in PvP.
However, the ability to drink a GC without any restrictions is the only thing preventing nox dexxer templates from being the overpowered template of the month, like when DP was first introduced years ago.
Implementing a timer nerf on GC is not the solution. It is just going to get poisoning nerfed a month later when everyone complains about poisoning being overpowered.
Not tho mention a timer like this to balance PvP hurts the PvM'rs too. Monsters capable of magic tend to speedcast poison as one of the first few spells and almost always tries to speedcast it again the very instant players cure themselves.
Diminishing returns isn't the solution either. Opponents will gain resistance to posioning even while their cure pots becomes less effective. More or less cancelling the effects.
Again, I want to go the balancing upwards ruote. I suggest instead of nerfing GC, we should buff poisoning. Chances of posioning remains the same, but it should add extra poison damage for every attack, regardless of whether the opponent is poisoned. Damage added would be based on the skill of the nox mage/dexxor and the weapon/spell's base damage.
For nox dexers, the damage would also scale accordingly to the type of poison applied to the weapon. For mages, they should be able to weave the extra poison damage into every offensive spell.
This should give back the poisoning skill some desirability while not having it become overpowered.
