I heard some doctors complaining about not being able to heal mind damage, why not put in a new advanced class, psychologist. After thinking about it some I believe it has some real potential as a support class and a mildly offensive class, by afflicting mind status debuffs on the enemy. Such as slowing their attack rate, confusion, blindness (you can hypnotize someone into not seeing something that is there), etc. Some possible support options such as increasing mind regeneration by some drugs, various mental enhancements etc. Kind of like a "enchanter" class but I wasn't really drawing on EQ for the idea, I just think if it is thought out enough it could be a really good class to add in.

The best psychologist, is yourself

Practicing psychology on the battlefield seems like a stretch. IMHO, mind healing best fits (although not a great fit) under the moral category, and thus in the domain of squad leaders.

For those with military experience, you know there's always a joker or two in every outfit who keeps the mood a bit lighter. Again, probably squad leader is the best fit.

What would really be most accurate issome sort of military chaplain. Not real star warsy though.

It's not really that much of a stretch when you take into account that the US Military has entire battalions dedicated to the practice of PsyOps. They generally use propaganda and disinformationto demoralize the enemy on a strategic level and sap their will to wage war, but they can also be employed tactically with great effect. Anyone remember when we invaded Panama and Noriega was holed up in the Papal Nuncio? Those were our PsyOps guys out front with the giant stadium speakers blaring "I Fought the Law and the Law Won" 24/7 until they surrendered him. I think this would be a spectacular idea as an elite support option.

Dumb idea.

just my opinion

would be a great elite-elite class to stem off doctor....

lord knows any elite-elite class without ungodly weapon skills steming off the CM tree would be rough, since we would probably have to give up a good portion of the weapon skills some people take to be combat worth to be of any use...
