great for geting a alien shotty QL 220 to get on at lvl 130

riverine 2005-09-15 13:39

o yeah . and then during the battle u only keep draining the target just to make the shotgun effective...

Jeff120 2005-09-21 01:08

riverine is right...with those 2 drain lines u can twink as hell...170 + 178 +131(from another trader) hmmm yeap...sounds good.. but the bad thing is that the OE weps are a pain in the ass.. yes u must keep draining just too make it effective.. if not. then why did u twinked the damn weapon.

oh.. boy no comment on that

enfoz 2005-11-14 11:32

lol its no problem when you need to keep draining.. when you've casted 1 or 2 drains on a twink .. their weapon goes to 75% hehe..also it has quite a big recharge time so you can shoot between the casting of the nano's..
Traders r teh pwnz0r xD

Mallor 2005-11-16 16:54

lol ...you basically drain -620 attack skill from a mob....with both drains....thats insane

12lettername 2005-12-07 03:32

I've got a low level trader, been doing endless missions, and I drain every mob with both drains anyways, because if I don't, I DIE.

dzdaddy 2005-12-14 14:56

as an agent, can you false profession to trader, use the divest and plunder flavors of drain nanos to boost your nanoskills, then false profession to MP and run the highest mocham/infuse/mastery your new nanoskills will allow, all the while fighting off the incensed MOB(s) that you drained? just wondering whether these nanos might be a viable way to allow a low level agent to buff a low level engie into range for a much bigger 'bot.

Kplayona 2006-01-19 02:20

dzdaddy u can but u should buff up with the longest lasting nano because those drains last way less so when u cast CI or Mochie while ur FPing as a MP use Mochie then turn into Trader and at that last 10 seconds before turning into a Agent start draining and that should work ;)

Moniker 2006-01-22 09:41

Best thing about drains is that you can ladder drain. Cast a ransack, then the next up divest, then the next up ransack, and so on, Seems ya can usually get about 4-5 levels higher than normal, and ya just have to recast the highest ones periodically to keep your uber high ql weapon effective.

Ulja 2006-02-11 13:11

Is this news, that traders are great at twinking?! ;P

Msauss 2006-03-12 11:48

if this works in PVP, I feel sorri for the poor NTs, docs and other people that need the nano skills :)

Xsonic 2006-05-08 03:55

trader vs trader.. who wins... the first one to debuff..

except you, ive tried healing you damnit, 2 hit death!

Ladunker586 2009-08-19 05:56

This is y I auto reject all trader duel requests. And you complain that if you don't drain you are useless. I agree with that, but to me that means the trader profession is in need of a revamp. some new tools and some major drain nerfage (if only in PvP)
I even refused to make my own trader for the whole 5+ years I've been playing, I'm afraid I'll hate myself ;)

Djeto 2010-06-24 18:58

Just for the record i saw a comment about laddering drains saying cast a ransack then a divest. NOOOO!!! ALWAYS AND I MEAN ALWAYS CAST Divest first!! Why? Divest 100% NR check, Ransack 190% NR check. If you cast divest first you'll have better offense and a better chance at landing that ransack drain!!!
