Chef Archive

To add to the above

There aren't alot of Master Doctors around really

Are you kidding? Everyone and their brother seems to be making a master doc right now. I can't find avian and herbavore meat on the bazaar anywhere. There's a lot more master docs than there are master chefs, and master doc is frankly pretty easy to get to.

And I don't buff for free

I don't cook for free either. But I do give a lot of buffs for free, to friends and guildmates. I fund these buffs with stim sales, meat from these hunts,mission payouts, and support from guild members. I don't think this is atypical.

The best Doctor buffs require Adv. Wound Treatment Speed and I believe at least Adv. Medicine Knowledge.

Really, not that hard to get. The best chef buffs require the skills of maybe 30 or feweractive chefs in the entire game right now? Master chef is extremely hard to get, and is not very popular. And, to reiterate, we are an elite class where all we do is buff. Doc can heal damage, heal wounds, heal poison/disease, rez, and buff.

Chef foods can buff mind stats.

As can spice, and spice often much better for less skill. Even so, this is really our one big advantage, but doesn't nearly outweigh the disadvantages IMO.

Food drastically reduces incap time and all that other stuff that comes up with armor.

A lot of this is based on bugs. And any food can do this, you can use artisan food to do this.

I'm not saying you guys don't have it rough, I know you do. But don't say you can't compare to Doctors. Both have their strengths and weakesses.

What is the doctors weakness again?

master doctor not popular?

Im sorry on Corbantis doctor is more plentiful then pistoleer or creature handler , well heck I would say most of those pistoleers are doctors.

Doctor is a flavor of the month class everyone who wanted to be "uber" is working there way up doctor or already worked there way up .. Doctor is way to powerful and every doctor knows this.

As you sit there tanking red con monsters with your super nice and easy to use buffs why would you want anyone else doing the same thing.

as for doing thing else?

Doctor can cure wounds

Doctor can remove blindless and bleeds

Doctor can cure desiese and posion

Doctor can use stimpacks to heal action and health

Doctor can craft stimpacks to sell for good money

Doctor can reserect fallen allies

Doctor can remove incapitation with a single heal

Doctor can buff Health

Doctor can buff Action

Doctor can buff Strength

Doctor can buffStamina

Doctor can buffConstitution

Doctor can buff Quickness

Doctor can buff all 6 stats at one time

now lets see what chef does.

Chef can craft food that is ment to buff

Chef can craft drink that is ment to buff

Chef can craft components to use to make food or drink

Thats all the chef can do..

now I think doctor can do a bit more if you ask me

its strange but

Doctor buffs last the longest and the most powerful

Smuggler buffs last the shorter then doctor buffs but longer the most chef buffs and are alot more powerful the chefs.

Chef buffs last the shortests and are the weakest of all the buffs in tha game even weaker then Foraged Food
