Thread: Why Master Combat Medic over Doctor?

That is definitely my favorite and the title I got the most questions about when sporting it
So yes, we do have way cooler titles.
By 'Better Damage Healing', do you mean that range stims actually heal more than doctor stims, by Elenora's observation that range stims are one higher, the best would be a stim D. Now, I imagine that E's are pretty much just overkill since with a D I can take most players from totally muffed to totally fixed, although depending on how good the buffs get that may not always be the case. Or are you saying 'better damage healing' because of the range ability?
Also, I have novice CM, I haven't put any points into Ranged Healing Speed, however, the actual act of healing with a range stim seems to take longer on account of the hucking the healing grenade graphic. Seems like I'm stalled out for like maybe a second by that as opposed to using regular stims that seem more instantaneous. I'm not sure if it takes longer to get the heal to the player, but it 'feels' like I lose a tiny bit of time either before or after the heal when using ranged stims over regular.
No, the fact that even with mediocre C stim you can bring a player back to full line BUT you don't need to chase him around to do so.
the CM is the god of damage healing hands down no argument. In a battle, a CM will be able to heal more people and faster than a doctor. This is especially be true once AOE heals are in. But do not think that damage healing is the end all of combat healing...
hence the usefulness of the CM. I promise you once the CM dots are fixed and working like we all hope and think they should. Being without a doctor in PvP will be very painful
Master Speed = Chemical Warfare Specialist (or something like that)[/QUOTE]
Close but it's actually Chemical Warfare Expert. Even after I got Master Combat Medic I still wear this title over my head.
Why you say?......... well there are several reasons but the two mains ones I use are....
1. Annonymity............ not many people, other then Combat Medics themselves know what this goes to. And many people arn't bright enough to use the "search" function of the game.
2. The title of MASTER Combat Medic has an underlining vanity to it. On the other hand Chemical Warfare Expert just says "Hey!! I'm a bad a s s!!"
hehe just kidding.............. all titles have a sense of vanity to them..... I just like the title more then Master CM.
But to answer the original post.......... as it stands now the CM profession is too broken and unbalanced with the other elite medical profession to give an accurate comparrision.
However, if and when the CM profession gets fixed we CMs will be regain our rightful place as Masters of healing in the Battle Sceneand Doctors will regain their rightfull place as being Masters of healing in the Controlled environment.
Some utility in poisons in huge battles (10x10 or more)
Some utility in deceases in city battles
Potentially more utility down the road for poisons
Requiers you to master at least one weapon so you can stand your own in many battles (unless you gave it up for some reason)
yeah, the titles sound cooler

Im a medical tactician atm (master ranged healing)
