DOTs and preventing player from capturing point

I disagree, capturing a point should "mean" you have "clearly" maintained control. In my book that would mean you have clear out the area and the person capping it is not under "any" attack during the capping.

If you are having issues, then we need to work more on communication in PVP WZs so you have enough people to actually capture a point. Not try and sneak in and ninja cap it.

Basically you are saying you want it to easier to ninja cap.

More teamwork

Less getting developers to change mechanics to cover up the lack of teamwork to defend a capping attacker.

As a Pyro Merc putting a DOT on someone attempting to capture or plant is my primary objective. Then I just refocus my previous target while keeping an eye on the fool who STILL attempts to plant and fails every time.

Thanks for throwing out that completely inaccurate statement.

"Damage taken does interrupt normal actions, period." Are you frikkin serious? "Period."??

When does damage ever interrupt any action? Have you even played the game before? This is not Everquest.

Maybe when you said welcome to MMOs you thought we were still playing EQ?

Killing 2 bads is not heroic.

Depending on DoTs to guard nodes for you after you inevitably die isn't heroic either. Man up and defend the nodes yourself.

This thread amuses me, and I enjoy the tears.

/carry on

Dots also interupt you from chanelling your class healing ability after a fight for a good 10 sec, if they use the speeders (or in voidstar you're near their respawn area for eg.) you're as good as dead.

I heard there was an item that used to heal you instantly (ooc) for 50% of your max hp ?

Ah, someone just whispered me this was nerfed to the ground baby. Guess what, dot classes are even more powerfull than before for defensive nodes/doors purposes

(that is until we see competent dispell classes players that l2use their ability )

I hate, HATE, the L2P people. "You suck, learn to play". But to the OP, you might want to do this. There are more ways to win a war than to charge in and destroy a line. It didn't really work well for anyone who invaded Russia. Nor did trench warfare really do anything to "win" in WWI. You have to change tactics to beat the other guy. Not just try the same move over and over. If your only idea to "win" a war is to charge forward until the other guy is dead your idea of fighting is limited and you need to expand.

Hey Sherlock, Sith Warrior (Juggernaut & Marauder) and their Rep mirror CANNOT DISPELL dots, kthxbye.

Cheap strategy is cheap.

Entirely irrelevant post , no one is asking for the dots to be removed , simply not preventing the capping of the objective for the full 21seconds.
