Question: Do you think Master Combat Medics should be given Improved Bacta Shot?

(i am a Master Combat Medic by the way)

No i dont think we should be given Improved Bacta Shot at Master CM here is why:

Doctor have no defenses outside of their heals whilea Combat Medic we canstick on a -50.00 mind regeneration debuff(useful in PVP) a mezz attack called Paralyze without bio-suppression skill tapes it lasts 15 seconds Thyroid Rupture -40.00 Combat Speed,movement debuff etc.

While a Doctor only has their Heals to keep them alive they do not have anything Offensive all Doctor abilities are Defensive or Counter Combat Medic abilities extinguish fire, poison resist buff, poison/disease cure, etc.

Combat Medic Healing is fine in my opinion i heal 1.2k Health with Bacta Shot maybe since i have a +18 Healing Efficiency Shirt and 1000 - 1100 with Advanced Bacta Toss

If you really need Improved Bacta Shot you should try and work 2xxx Doctor into your template.

a) petitions dont work
b) Bacta Shot is an iconic Doc ability (only in Doc and the Medic prereqs for Doc) - should not be in CM
c) ask for an Advanced Bacta Throw or an Advanced Bacta Spray maybe?

I tend to agree with this. Personally I'd rather see infect made more useful.

The self-root has been around since launch (It was NOT added later) and it was at one time one of our top issues. However the Devs haven't deattched the animation from the ability as of yet, though I could bring it up if it is desired.

Rather than give us a good working doc skill id like to have our disease work like the master skill its suppost to be and let us be the 4 in offence we are suppost to be...or was it 3...as it is were a 2 in croud controle (one target fairly well but only when close) and a 1 in offence and a 2 in defence/support just because of our healing.

We are suppose to be:

Offense (4)

Defense (2)

Crowd Control (3)

But really I do think we are:

Offense (2.5)

Defense (2)

Crowd Control (4)..... our debuffs are great crowd control in my opinion, but i dont know if the devs consider that to be offense or crowd control

Thanks to everyone for your comments... I've beenthinking about them and have come to the realization that the Devs at least need to fix infect and if that is done and it becomes effective, I could be happy with our healing situation. I really dont think we have the (4) in offense that they state we do.... lol my dots get 60 dps (my gun at least gets 150 dps against master defenders!!!) and this needs to be corrected in the next few publishes to fix bugs!

Really I think advance infect should reduce max health by 20% over a 2 to 5 minute period, that way we have an ability that effectively counters nutrient injection (i think thats what its called)! Once the person recovers from the disease, the max health should regenerate at twice the rate of degeneration.Here is a sample of thecombat spam as follows:

[0 secs] Combat Medic hasinfected Opponent with a disease!

[0 secs] Combat Medic hasreduced Opponent's Max Health1% through a disease!

I think our debuffs are mostly defense as they lower the combat effectiveness of the enemy. Our paralyze and E. drain would be our only "crowd control" skills.

Off topic- Soooo when do doc's and CM's get medic armor like bh and mando?
