Its actually very simple why CMs shouldnt get revive...

In theory (although not in reality because of mind damage) a CM doing his job would never lose a player to death. We are the ultimate damage healers able to keep large numbers of people alive. Hence if everything worked out to design, a CM would never lose a patient and not really ahve to worry about revive...

in actuality this is pretty much true, I rarely lose people to H or A incap in PvE its always mind damage that does my grp in.

Doctors are not as efficient damage healers as we al with a lack of AOE heals and ranged stims while they might be able to keep a few alive, the likelihood that a doctor will not "make it in time" is much higher than we are hence it makes sense for them to have the revive...

Doctors get to revive players on their wound treatment line...but why can't combat medics revive players? Reviving takes place on the battlefield and combat medics are supposedly designed for battlefield play, so why is that combat meds cant revive players? Its not like this will overpower us or anything considering our whole class blows to hell besides our healing abilities.

I believe that Revive should stay within the realm of Doctor skills. Doctors also have battlefield skills, and have as much right to be out there as Combat Medics. Just bescause you are a "Combat" Medic does not mean that you should get all Combat-Related medical skills, it means that you have the ability to use offensive meds.

Also, saying that our whole class blows to hell is a misconception based on the general public's poor grasp of Combat Medicine Crafting. Combat Medics are quickly becoming one of the most respected(and despised) class on the battlefield. The despise portion comes from a dirtly little exploit, but anyone who has run with or been pitted up against groups with Combat Medics in them have learned to appreciate their abilities. Once AE effects for our meds are fixed, expect a lot of whining on the boards.
