Combat Medic Archive

I am not saying add to the profession, I am saying that there is no need for ranged weapon support line. I really see no point in it. It in now way helps the combat medic profession.

The range support tree is more useful to a combat medic than the unnarmed combat tree is to a commando or smuggler. The general ranged aiming bonuses are useful, and the bits of defense would be nice if they worked (maybe they do now, I can never keep track). Its disappointing that the sort of bonuses from that tree aren't continued within the CM class itself. I mean, even musician has defensive bonuses at master!

As I noted in another thread. I'd like to see some grenade certification added to the ranged support line, and some bonuses to thrown accuracy in the speed or distance tree. I think that would do alot for giving combat medics a weapon of sorts, and make the ranged support tree a bit more useful.

also, IF the +1 cap is pushed ahead, the ranged support line would give us ground to stand on for pushing a possible " finishing shot " which would target health, acton, or mind with any weapon we have equiped. Also it would give us a point to argue for a CM onlyweapon.

Kavedawg,

I say push for a shot (or 3 shots) to let us choose which HAM we want to hit. Only thing would be, how strong would it be?

who know's prolly the same power as overcharge shot except targeting the different ham pools,

Poison is our Combat Only weapon.

The combat support treeis good for CM. How do you have a good Combat Support Char. as we are, but can't fight? No matter what anyone says, we can't live off our poisons & diseases alone, hence the reason I'mgoing the pistoleer routeas well. With that combo I'm heading MCM+Pistoleer 3441 andI can still keep novice artisan with 1 point left. Even if they ever (which I seriously doubt) say we don't have to have Ranged Support, I wouldn't give it up... Supress is awsome after you get a poison in and they try to run, and warning shot is a very good defense aginst pop spawns

Agreed. Poison should be our only CM weapon. Despite poisons stopping at +1 HAM, I will still oppose any suggestion of a "bio-gun" for CMs.
