Since CU went live I've noticed a decline in Doctors (as in there arnt any). Now Ive noticed a slight set back with that. Im lvling up Pilot and when I die I have a butt load of wounds. Of course there are no Doctors around to heal them and the med centers take forever to heal those large amounts of wounds. So I have been tossing around the idea of takeing up Doctor just so I can heal the wounds of my guild mates and of course myself.

I used to be a Doctor Pre CU however there have been some changes. I have been lightly following this message board so know a little of what has (and hasnt) happened. But if anyone can give me more of a reason to take this than the, "I HAVE to do it because I loose game time if I dont". Then please list them here.

I know alot of you are devided right now. Some saying you hate it and some saying its the best. Good or bad I would like to hear some reasons I should (or should not) take the leap into the Dr profession.

Thanks in advance, and I wish the best to all of you.

Its because even though most people wont admit it half of the "Doctors" were in it for the money not the profession. Which dispite what people may be saying is exactly why SOE changed the profession.

I've been a Doctor for nearly 2 years now, and I will probably never drop it. Doctor is a great profession dispite some rather...irritating issues right now. Just don't expect to be "ubar" by picking it up. It's not, its usefull, but not "ubar".

On the subject of healing, you can use the "Galaxy Doctor" thread to find a Doc on your server, or if all else fails, just use the search function.

Most were in it for the buff bot thing.

I actually liked going to the vette and rezzing and healing, but now CM is better at healing and buffs are worthless.

It's like june 03 all over again

Sadly true. Don't forget about tumblers, those were a serious issue in themselves.

I always wanted to be a Doctor, and became a Master only after the recent changes.. I can't say I agree with you about the Doctor being a great profession for during the past few days I haven't been able to shrug off the feeling of uselessness and utter depression. I used to spend most of my time in medical centers around the galaxy, healing wounds where needed, curing diseases and so on.. Now I'm alone, utterly alone in this dark quiet place called the medical center, with no-one to keep me company aside from the rare patient. I liked it better when there were tumblers, at least they made the medical center feel a little populated.. I don't spend much time in the Medical Centers anymore. What's the point?

The "Hate system" is a good idea but isn't very realistic. It's fun being the tank for the whole group when you get aggroed, and no - I'm not being sarcastic here. I actually manage to keep myself alive when there's a lot of things pounding at me, although I can't say I've been hunting all that much to be sure that always works (which I'm certain it does not).Thing is.. I didnt' become a Doctor to be a 'tank'. I want to heal and help others in need, not justmyself!

The Doctor profession in SWGvery much alive and kicking.. And it's fun too. But the essence of the profession, the very soul of it.. has withered away. We aren't reallyDoctors anymore. We're Tank-Healers.I'm a fool and I believe in hope.. So I shall hope future developments will change things for better. But for the moment, don't kid yourself. Real Doctors are extinct.

Don't even bother to remind me Buff Bots and Tumblers are extinct with them.. Rid of them we are.. but at what a price?
