Thread: Should Bounty Hunters get free Medic skills?
Typical BH response: *GASP*You mean BHs should have weaknesses? But Boba Fett didn't!
You wanna real upset a BH that says that? Point out to them that Boba Fett never bested one single person in combat in any of the movies, and was ultimately taken out by a blind man who wasn't even trying.
The cold, hard truth is this : Jar-Jar Binks has a higher bodycount than Boba Fett.
Sure! And while we are at it, let's give them the ability to make guild halls, since bounty hunter should be able to do so much for 217 skill points, right? Oh, and let's allow them to use a lightsaber and force powers, just because they deserve it!
/sarcasm off
Seriously though, bad idea. Unless BH requires something from Medic, then the answer should be 'no'.

ROFLMAO! Now that's priceless. Maybe it's been a while since I've watched the movies, but what blind man bested Fett?

Han was still blind (or at least mostly blind) when he tapped Boba's backpack by accident and sent him hurtling into the Sarlaac pit.
Oh yeah. Sorry, I knew someone tapped his backpack and that sent him hurtling off, but I had forgotten that Han was mostly blind at the time so I had discarded him.
First time to the doc area of the boards. Came to see what new skills and bugs were happening to the profession.
I can understand professions not wanting others to infringe on skills that they have. Personally, I dont want medical skills. I used some of my points for novice medic, and found it too time consuming and boring to heal. I thought it would be a great way to stop a bleed (this thought occuring after i had a bleed that kept knocking me on my butt after the mark had been retired) Instead i decided i would go to a medical center. Where I sit and wait for a healing, usually tipping 3-4k.
Bh do have a few points to play with if they cap out master bh. Enough to get 7 boxs in an elite or a new novice and a full line of one area in training. Its the choice we made, and i dont know of many bh that arefighting through the investigation lineto master that dont understand that. Taking300+ hrs to go through a single line of a profession leaves alot of time to think of a wishlist for skills. Some that we will get, and some we wont. There are some in any profession will ask for the moon, and some that will just play the profession with what they are dealt.
I have never complained about skills that another profession has asked for. If bh DO get a way to stop bleed, who cares? If they are given FA1, who cares? Am i going to sit and heal 300 wounds? I could do that by getting out a camp (Bh are master scouts for those who dont know) and go afk. Go have a cup of coffee and come back fully healed, mind wounds included. So whats stopping all the classes that have Scouting from doing that? Time. Its easier to just tip someone to heal you.
After reading some of the closeminded posts, guess i could get by with tipping a whole lot less.
if your on Gorath and want to send me a tell to discuss anything i have said, let me know.

Yes give the BHs FA II, and give Doctors eye shot. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Q get the coders on it!
Looks like eye shot is soon to be moved to mbh. Making that skill quite rare for anyone =) I shouldnt have expected the first post after mine to be anything other then what it was.

DisplacedSurfer all you do is whine? Want some cheese with that?Or are you blind? Need to spell check sometimes too while your at it genius. And reasons we are not all masters is because it takes more time to do investigation line (those 4 boxes 300+ hours on 100% success rate) than it probably took to level your whole character displacedsurfer.
If you read my post again, most BH's were against the very idea of getting any medic skills for free and some idiot came running to medic boards to throw this in your medics face just to start trouble.So if you think we are over at the BH board all yelling "YES TO FREE MEDIC SKILLS" your wrong, when in fact its the other way around. If some of the whiners would learn to read a bit and not just the f'in title they wouldnt jump to childish assumptions like our friend surfer here...All the thread on the BH board was just a brainstorm that is all. No harm done. Whats sick is these are our boards to discuss stuff about our professions and 90% of the people onthem grief and whine instead of helping their own profession. Thats when the nerf bats swings and hits us all.
