Not a support class? Why do you have more medic skills then combat?
Actually we have more combat skills than healing. Starting with the Distance tree you should note that the bonuses in this column deal with bonuses to range and damage when using poisons and diseases. On to the Speed tree and you will note that while the ability to heal mind is granted by mastering this tree we also gain speed to increase the rate at which we throw. On to the Crafting tree and you should notice that there is a ratio of 9:1 Offensive to Defensive Medicine schematics.
Clearly the DEVs intended use these schematics to do damage. Lastly, the Support tree grants us movement bonuses and the ability to use higher level meds. The highest AE Healing stims can be used by mastering Support. The highest ranged stims can only be used at Master. The best single target Offensive Medicine can be used by mastering support as well but using AE Offensive Medicine requires you also be a Master. The overall point is that while some of the CM trees do have healing aspects they still focus primarily on doing damage with Offensive Medicine.
Add in the fact that CMs can only heal 5 out of 13 types of damage done in combat and you will realize we were not meant to be the primary healers in combat like Doctors are.
Don't try to answer something you have little knowledge about it makes you look foolish

Edit: I'll answer the question for you. 8 boxes of combat. 4 boxes of ranged SUPPORT and 4 boxes of CM SUPPORT. Hence the support class. Now with 8 boxes of SUPPORT combat you do more damage then say a bounty hunter that has 28 boxes of combat.
You are a support class.
You are a chemical warfare expert.
You are a warrior in the loosest sense of the word.
You are an every class stopper.
You are overpowered. Get over it.
