Instead of nerfing the CMs, why not give an AoE Poison/Disease cure skill to Master Doctors? This would create a better game-balance by ensuring the popularity of healing classes in this game. Thatnegates all of the nerf-cries too.



Thanks.

I disagree completely. You seem to think that the only thing a CM can do it mass-slaughter with biological warfare. As combat medics we also have ranged and area healing. Besides, curing poisons/diseases is not a one for one deal. It sometimes takes 3 or 4 tries for a poison cure to beat a poison. And if there are no docs on your enemy's team then they are goners. And it negates any reason for nerfing us 75%.



Doctors can use fire blankets to cure the flamethrower dot, but that doesn't negate the Commando as a useful profession...



What this suggestion offers is a much stronger need for more doctors on battlefields. Which means more rezzers. Which means longer, more interesting battles.
