Thread: AOE Cures for AOE poisons
You know skywalker, I cant tell if you actually are and idiot or just pretending to be one.
Let's see, a 15-20 meter poison cure that works in one shot, uhh what exactly are combat medics spending all those extra points for again? To have some ninny who isnt even close to master doc completely neutralize our attack?
What throws me for a loop if that you somehow consider this to be a real solution. Apparently you lack enough gray matter to do more than poweryour autonomous nervous system and flail at the keyboard randomly, what you would call posting.
Doctors are not meant to neutralize us, any more than they neutralize health and action damage. You see, brain surgeon, if doctors could neutralize everyone elses attacks then no one would ever die, so according to your philosophy doctors are one screwed up class since you cant even handle straight damage, never mind anything more advanced. Now, if all medic classes are supposed to MITIGATE damage instead, then we're working alot better, doctors should get a cure C that actually works in one shot, but also remains single target only, thereby making poisons something still to be feared, but also manageable.
Unfortunately, those of you doctors that ride the short yellow bus seem to have this growing need to be all powerful, to the point of suggesting you get mind buffs/heal/aoe one time cures, and as suggested by the most special of you, reducing the healing ability to 1/3 of it's current effectiveness for CM's. All of this in one package too! So not only will our poisons be useless, but we wont be able to heal for crap either.
Get back under your bridge.
P.S.- maybe you didn't read my sig., but this "niny" is a MASTER doctor, I am sorry if you are too jealous to act civil.
Just cause you're a master doesnt mean you know your class let alone another class well enough to make any kind of reasonable and helpful suggestion. As it is our poison packs arent reliable AND drain our mind as much as healing. If they up the cure chance/effectiveness that ONLY negates CM poisons and considering i can do more DoT stacking healtshot1/2 than with a poison pack means this is NOT the solution...just means the doctors can neutralize yet one more class and gives us more junk in datapads, crafting tools, and useless skills. Now considering you're not even trying to seperate PvP from PvE...also shows your lack of intelligence and the fact that you obviously have no clue how much harder it is to do CM and try anything else. Poisons by their very nature are more insidious than bleeding wounds...poison's oughta get worse over time as they start taking over more and more (would be an interesting fix for PvE)...but they dont...and plus they dont stack...so you will not do the same damage as bleeders. The only reason ppl are screaming about poisons is that atm the mind bar is the prime target in PvP and the biggest restraint in PvE...we just happen to have something that will effect numerous ppl all at once.
As to the doctor getting AE cures...**edit** no...the concept of a doctor is he focuses on one patient at a time...whereas the CM is trained to help as many ppl as possible cause they dont have access to a doctor or they wont make it to the doctor.
CM = EMT
Personally i think the doctor should have a penalty when trying to heal in combat seeing as its NOT a field profession. But then we'd need a stabilize or something so that we could temp stop any effects and drag them to the doctor out of range of hte cbt

Isn't it a little odd that CM has recieved 2-3 "fixes" in a row soon after the jedi patch, after the devs said the profession was perfectly balanced?
Where does it say they were "perfectly balanced". Also, I think CM's went on for so long as well because of the combat balance. Now that that is going to be delayed, they needed this desparately to help pvp. PVP is much funner with the heavy poisons missing..
Edit: Ahh same thought as above. Had to step away for a moment..

I agree its not a docs job to be healing in the field anyway.. thast what the COMBAT in CM is all about... we are the front line medics.. Docs belong at the back of the fight....
You are correct, docs stay in the back lines, if people get poisoned or diseased they run to the doc for cures.
if anyone should get AOE cures give it to us.... why shouldnt a toxicoligist/Chemical weps expert...be able to know how to cure what he develops...
Why? I'll tell you why. First of all, AOE ranged healing is the CMs turf, not AOE. Doc's AOE cure is point blank and radiates from him, you still have to get next to him to get cured....still leaves them in the back lines. If you give CMs the cures, then whats going to happen is more people are going to become CM to counter the existing poison lobbing CM's which, in effect, is going to bring MORE potential poison into the already poison bloated system. Giving the Docs the AOE cures will bring balance to the population of docs vs cms. Otherwise you will be multiplying the population of CMs and poisons.
doesnt make sence to me.. I hope it does now.
