and....


Overall I see what I want therole of a Combat Medic to be in three parts


  1. Anenhanced Master Medic (PvP & PvE)

  2. The inverse of a doctor (PvP)

  3. A ranged combatant (PvP & PvE)

part one is coveredwell with ranged and area stims as well as the heal mind ability, however the following could be included to better the profession



  • ranged and area first aid packs

  • increased drag distance

  • ranged and area versions of the wound packs in the medic tree

  • reduce wounds from using heal mind

Part two is not covered very well. Above master medic, doctorsare grantedsupport abilitiesthat are able to cure states, increase a player's physique, and revive fallen friends. The only abilities that combat medics are granted to battle doctor effectivness are poisons and diseases which are easily removed from a target before a damage tickwith the new area cures. To better the CM proffession and add to the role of a CM please considerthe following



  • Status effect packs that


    • reduce humanoid ranged defense

    • reduce humanoid meele defense

    • reduce humanoid ranged accuracy

    • reduce humanoid meele accuracy

    • reduce humanoid mobility

    • slow humanoid attack speed

  • Physique reduction packs that


    • debuff a target's health and substats

    • debuff a target's action and substats

    • mind left out intentionaly, doctors can't buff it

Part three needs a lot of work. CM's are only required to take the ranged support tree in novice marksman and no further ranged combat ability or defense is added in the CM tree. I feel that theMaster Combat Medicshould be just as proficiant with a weapon as they are with their medicine bag and the combination of both should be just as leathal as any other hybrid combat profession. Current sp requirements and experience requirements (amount and type) could be changed to better balance the damage potential vs ease and costof mastering. Please consider the following



  • A "CM weapon" cert at novice combat medic

  • ranged defense modifiers

  • random or targetedpool weapon specials

  • ranged weapon accuracy modifiers

  • minor boost to meele defense

What do i think CM is.. that's hard to gague with recent and proposed changes.. would need more time to answer..

What do i think CM should be.. i think CM should be THE battlefield healer.. simple huh??

CM should outshine any other profession when it comes to keeping groups up and running during an engagement.. wether that be PVE or PVP..


i'm still all for removing the dots.. from the game (they're broken anyway).. or at least from the profession and making it a new profession..

those are my thoughts.. feel free to disagree.. as i know some of you do..
