Combat Medic Archive

So I'm considering going CM after struggling with <another unmentionable combat profession> and I have a question on how CMs gain their faction points in PvP/faction missions.

So a CM that goes and heals his fellow rebs/imps during a pvp battle will NOT get faction points at all? They'll have to kill imps/rebs?

I'm assuming the medical xp comes in 30 point chunks as they heal people....right?

medical XP is tied to how much damage you heal, not how many times you heal.

I usually get at least 100+ xp per heal with a rangeC, letting the persons damage get close to halfway down before healing.

Faction points I have no clue about, since I have no desire right now to get factioned.

hopefull the fix on TC will apply to fp as well as combat xp...

as far as i can tell fp in non-mission npc kills is based on damage just like xp is..so i wouldnt imagine it would be very hard to tie combat xp to faction xp...

Oh and med xp is based on how much damage you heal not a set amount...

ull find that getting med xp is really easy and all to fast...

really need to raise the med xp requirements for doctors and CMs..it really is a joke

Just to clarify, you can get FP as a CM. You can apply poison, attack with a ranged weapon and heal. I hunt everynight with a BH and although I get fewer points than he does, I can still get 1000+ a night. Since we hunt every night he lets me kill the mission objective solo or near solo and it helps a great deal.

I do hope they do something about spreading faction points evenly in a group for pure healer types though.

actually we can but i find that soloing i can get far more fp than grped...

i can solo 2x faster and take way harder npcs than other combat classes can. the power of self healing is incredible. In PvE, im a god....and i only have pistol specialist...
