Combat medics with WMD's are like handing five year olds guns.
WMD (biological, radiological, chemical) have been around for quite a while. In the latter part of this last century they have been used mostly as a deterrant. WW 1gave the world a good glimpse of what chemical agents could do. We got a glimpse of the damage from a nuclear weapon at hiroshima and nagasaki. Hell they had been catapulting dead bodies over castle walls centuries before that. Of course this is real life im speaking of.
Of course in real life combat medics are the guys that patch you up on the battlefield.They keep you alive long enough to get to a doc (or at least try to). They also have combat training so they can help support the unit they are a part of (with CONVENTIONAL weapons). They also apply innoculations, cure poisons with quickshot syringes no those are usually self induced, Screw that. You ever see the needle on those things?? I don't know what is worse. The nerve agent those syringes are supposed to counter or the damn cure. Personally I think I will just die thank you.The needle on those things are **edit**ing huge.They only apply those things if the patient is incapable (either passed out or too much of a chicken.....cluck) of doing so themselves. , can perform minor internal surgery while under fire, and stabalize fire induced wounds.
However if you wan't to keep the stuff you have then there should be a roll to kick some of it back in your face and in the faces of friendly troops. Personally I think all AOE's should suffer from a "friendly fire" roll. Not just poison and disease.However the reason that one profession should hold so much sway incombat with one line of ranged support is beyond me. No matter. At leastsoon a doc will be in a better position to counter a CM one on one. CM's can't take on a Doc one on one, its only in group engagements that a CM will shine. Doctors are in a better position to do everything support leaving very very little for CM's. If all area effect attacks had a friendly fire modifier, alot of people would me might angry. Especially since the most damaging attacks are all area attack. Only reason grenades effect all is because they are direct damage and not DoT even then I think they need to up the range on those things (or give those poor commando's an E-web).

"If you guys don't want to get nerfed, then atleastask SOE to change the name of your class to Combat Bio-Terrorist."
Excellent idea.
It sounds jazzier than combat medic.

I don't give a damn about your CM discussion, but this attitude irks the p!ss out of me. Go read MotorTrend or Car and Driver, and see what they have to say about the CTS, SRX and the new 2005 STS.
Caddy's not screwing around anymore.

ok, on the original post you were trying to compare a player to a cm???? rofl, ok Ive never seen a rebel get jumped by 10 giant dune kimogilas, Ive been a CM before, I think its the cheapest prof. in the game. people choose to fight GDK's. in PvP you fight against whoever is overt, and if they have a stupid setup, then your going against someone who is going to chunk a 1400 pt. poison, run into the bank, hide behind corners, then pop you once and say hes the best PVP'er there ever was. truthfully, I dont even play the game anymore I use it to talk to friends.... the only thing more hated than jedis are DEVS. hope EQ2 isnt this messed up.

Probably not since they have to compete against the best MMO ever created (EQ1) so they are going to have to put serious thought into it if they want customers.
Unfortunately most of the other MMO's out there are all fantasy and so little sci-fi. Then again SWG is all about melee anyway so I guess its not much different.
