Combat Medic Archive
Thread: Combat medics are a myth.
You say Poison is roughly 50 DPS...first off, your using crappy poison. Mine is closer to 100 DPS.
You add that with my skills from Master Pistoleer...and you end up with a very high DPS for my CHARACTER. This game is not designed for one class to be the end all badass of the galaxy. You have skill points for a reason, use them.
I view my class as my poison adds 100DPS to that of my pistol, giving my character an OVER ALL DPS of somewhere around 600-700.
Call me a moron all you want. I play my class. I know the Combat Medic class inside and out. Its very well balanced right now believe it or not. Adding a weapon skill to it is rediculious. People like you that think Master Combat Medic alone should be all powerful, are even more humerous. Personally, I think they should rename the class from Combat Medic to Toxocologist. So that you freaks quit thinking we are a combat class.
We are the equivilant of Shamans in Everquest. We have healing, and DOTS...yet I wouldn't call an Everquest Shaman a "combat class". Maybe that will clear that up for some of you obdviously derranged people.
Use all your skill points, and learn how to play your class. Quit asking for changes from developers to compensate for the fact that you, yourself, as a player, suck.
Combat Medics by themselves have no weapon skills to speak of. However, your skill point allocation will allow you to not only be a master combat medic, but then be a master in ANY WEAPON LINE under marksman. So you can be a Master CM and Pistoleer/Carbineer/Rifleman. You want your damage output, go for one of those lines and master it. If you expected to be a combat badass with just Master Combat Medic...your sadly mistaken. You want DPS, then pick up a weapon skill and put down that scout blaster.
Well a commando's skill point allocation allowed them to pick up master pistoleer, etx so they should of not complained about there weapons or lack there of either right? I only Expected a combat medic to contain some combat.
People gripe and whine about CMs not having enough offensive power...and it just makes me laugh. While people are screaming nerf the Combat Medics, you people are asking for more. Greed and selfishness always runs rampant in MMORPGs, everyone wanting their class to be the biggest baddest thing on the market. Well, its not going to happen, so just give it a rest. Our class by it self, is that of a support character, with the COMBAT part comming in the form of poisons and disease. A bio weapon, is a stupid idea. Giving us bonuses to an existing weapon line, like pistols, or small sidearms is more realistic. Personally, I think our class is just fine the way it is (provided the major bugs are fixed).
A combat doesnt have enough offensive power a combat medic has next to zero offensive power, expecially when comapred to healthshot 2 is just about outdaamges a poision we receive at master level. Why is a bio weapon a stupid idea? you realize we are the only combat class without a unquie weapon? I never said I want a cm to be the biggest badest class, I just want a CM to be able tokill a durani without using 2 level A poisions.
I hate to tell you this, but we must have different visions of successful. In solo pve i want you to go poision soem higher level mob then try to fight him with only CM skills. Tell me how good you are.
No other person breaks down dps by total character skills, not even the devs. So you are saying that your poisions do 100 dps? Really do you throw a poision it sticvks for 8 seconds then does 800 damage? do you do 800 damage a tick? no way in hell unless you are suing nearly perfect, advanced resources, and perfect expermination.
we are near shaman in EQ your right, I played a shaman in EQ and loved it. In EQ with a shaman i solo'd dragon in WW and Juggs in sebilis, so yes i considered and so did many consider a shaman a combat class.
We have combat medics in the military. Battlefield Medics if you will.
These are people are specialize in how to treat wounds on a battlefield. Yes they have had basic training in sidearms and rifles. Their expertiese, and reason for being on the field as a soldier though are to treat other peoples wounds and injurys. Their basic knowledge of pistol/rifle use is there to keep them alive in cirtian situations, or give them outs.
Now, we also have people that have trained in nothing but marksmanship, and weapon usage. These people are considered to be the Infantry. These people spend 8 hours a day doing training on weapons combat, marksmanship, survival techniques, group manuvers, etc etc.
Your comparing the lethalness of a Combat Medic to a Commando, is like comparing the lethalness of a US Army Infantry soldier, to that of a US Army combat medic. Its ludacris. Its ignorant. And worse, it makes you look like an idiot. Like I stated before, you are in a lucky enough position to be able to master a weapon line, and combat medic. That way you have the best of both worlds.
Now...Commando's complaining that their weapons sucked was a valid point...because after all....IT WAS ALREADY PART OF THEIR CLASS. Your griping that you don't do enough damage/etc. Their are inherint bugs in the Combat Medic class that they are fixing. These bugs being fixed will allow out poisons to do more damage, they will allow out Area Disease Cs to be crafted. They will improve the offensive power of our class. However, you or anyone else asking for NEW THINGs to be added to the CM class can't be compared to Commando's saying their weapons sucked. They are SUPPOSED to have those weapons, and those weapons were supposed to function properly. Its the same reason we are validated in bitching about our area disease C packs, and our advanced resiliance compounds.

I'm done arguing with you. If you think that the word Combat in our class means we should be a front line, weapons blaring, badass PVE class....your sadly mistaken. End of story, your an idiot, and I'm through arguing common sense with you. You obdviously don't have any, and I don't have the years required to teach you common fscking sense.

I never once said i want the damage of a commando.

Yes and I complianed thjat our poisions dps when compared to all other combat classes dps is way to low and needs to be upped.
and bringing this into RL like you want calling a shot such as eyeshot should come with an automatic -100 accurracy or more. called shots from in a combat situation is nearly impossible.
Also lets look into this rl like you want. There are Army rangers and army combat medic rangers. If you honestly think an Army combat medic Ranger is not as deadly or even more than so than regular us army ranger, you are sorely mistaken.

Another supid imp falls to the superior mind of a rebel. ![]()
Again, you sir, are a non-factor.
Wow, there must be some real gimps out there. My poison does 440 a tick. I amMaster CM, Master Doc, Carbine 4 and pve I kick ass. I poison a creature, then just use threaten shot / suppress fire till it's dead. I have taken out 10k ham creatures solo. No pet, just me.
It's all how much of a strategist you are. I mean there is no one button macro for whoopass (yet... but I Am working on it) so engage your brain before running your mouth and try to problem solve through to what your goal is.
CM > Everyone in PVP, and we do well in PVE. If you do not think so, head to anchorhead on Bloodfin and ask them if they know Kagara Lotus...
