What are we talking about nerfing ourselves?! Combat Medics can't run out and solo Kryats and things like other classes. We are dependant on other classes and with the amount of points it takes to get master it's hard to pick up decent skills to do things solo. As long as we are dependant on grouping we are balanced.

People complaining about poisons have either

a) been on the wrong side of an area poison attack and are sore losers

b) not realized the thingswe sacrifice for the ability to do the damagewe do

c)a compulsion to whine and too much time on their hands

Take some time and read (seriously read) about other professions that are REALLY messed up- like Droid Eng. or Smuggler. Then come back here and post something worthwhile.

This is a balanced proffession. We have an awesome offense but we sacrifice skill points,any chance at a decent defense and the ability to soloas well as other classes that cost just as many skill points.

The minute we get the nerf bat that really only a few CMs are asking for the majority will be in an uproar.

Leave it alone.

I think it is useful to discuss issues when it appears that we are overpowered. It is useful to seriously look at an issue to see if our use of one of our abilities is truly overpowered, or if appropriate defensive tactics have not been used. If gives us the ammunition to fight these nerfs when they appear on Test Center. And if we are overpowered to the point where there is a consensus among CMs that we need to get nerfed, then by all means, they should nerf us (though the nature of the nerf should be framed by us). From the discussions over the last several months, it is clear there is no consensus from combat medics that we should get nerfed. I feel it is also fairly clear that there is no single ability to dominate PvP.

The nerf cries from CMs bother me much less than those from outside the profession. At leastmost of the CMs have a better understanding of the difficulties of our class.

What exactly do you 'sacrifice' to be a CM? Before I got Master, I Dabble'd in it, the only thing I sacrificed was a couple missions reward worth of diseases/poisons to buy. It was easy to level up, and deadly to use in combat. Didn't cost me anything but a few well spent skill points.

lol I laugh at a self-nerf because I think its funny. I poison a whole group and watch them die and laugh about it the WHOLE time. I think its hillarious Im so overpowered, sue me. Do I want a nerf? Of course not! But do we need it? Haha we sure do. =P

It's just because we are so imbalanced, sure we are great in pvp but in pve I can't take on the mobs that commandos/chs can take on, i can throw and run and wait 10-to whatever minutes and pray to god i can find the stupid creature again, its a joke. That's why i think its so lame for them to nerf us when i can't apply these skills to anything BUT pvp.
