Combat Medic Archive

explain to me why you should be able to kill when you are, in fact, a medic; especially being able to kill with what is the strongest pvp attack in the game. most medics kill with a gun, very few kill victims by rapping them in gauzes. so get some combat skills, and kill like everybody else does ... or else pvp will never be balanced.

Errr, seems like the majority of cm's are saying that people just needed to group with a doctor and cm poison wasn't a big deal, yet the complaints all stem around the fact that cm's will have to group now to kill people....

Fact is, a cm is still insanely powerful in pvp when in a group.

could not agree more! this happened to me yesterday:

i was overt, alone with my BDQ, enroute to aid my comrades under attackwhen i wasconfronted by a forward lookout. he was a "trickshot" with good armor and a flamethrower. i put my pet on him and as hebegan firing on it, i got close enough to mind poison him. then, i tried to maintain a safe distance. at -462 per tic, it wasn't long before he was at the so-called +1 mark. (btw, is that +1% or +1 health pt?) anyway, i decided it was time to move in for the kill - i had about half my mind, all H and A and was not "on fire". i found myself trying to blast through this guys armor with my scout. it just didn't happen. soon, i was incapped by him (btw, i waswearing advanced, layered, composite armor - no heat layers though) and quickly dispatched.

the scenario was SO ridiculously skewed as to leave me in disbelief! if this +1 were done to almost any other combat profession - yes we are also a combat profession - there would be mass revolt. but i suppose SOE figures they can screw us over to appease the masses and it's no big.

for someone with only 26 posts, you sure talk the talk. so, were you on the dev team? were you beta then?if not, how do you come by this knowledge? because idon't understandwhy the devs would have originally given us LETHAL and AREA poisons and diseasesif we weren't supposed to be able to kill peeps - and lots of 'em. it wasn't until the whiners - of which you are probably one -started howlingthat we've been relentlessly nerfed down!

i could be wrong but you sound like CM is your secondary, part-timeside joband commando or some other so-called "killing machine"is your primary profession. hmm? and so you like the idea of being able to only weaken your opponent but don't need poison/disease to make the kill. hmm? tell ya what,if the dev team will nerfyour primary weapon to +1, i'll shut up. better yet, let's nerf everything to +1 and no one will have to die and everyone will be happy.
