Combat Medic Archive

Hi Everyone -

I've reached a point in time where I can choose to be a squad leader or a combat medic. I've read most of the posts about what's wrong with combat medic and fixes that y'all want. I know it's personal preference about which profession, but I could honestly be happy with either. Just want to know your thoughts on the matter. I know squad leaders also complain that their skills are ineffective and are waiting for fixes to come down the queue. Which one is more rare?

Thanks!

lots more CM than SL's

SL way more rare than CM..but with PvP damage reduction in the ability to concentrate fire and teh SL's ability to make the grp attack one target...pure gold!

> poison is way too weak and highly resistable,

If anything poison is overpowered at the moment.
Ability to kill anyone without them able to fire a shot at you (I am talking from behind wall, not TEF exploit) is far greater then any knockdowns, and resist rates for quality C packs are very low.

Actually you can easily do both (since they do not have concurrent exp requirements). That's what I am doing - I have master CM and 2 skills from SL + enough points for 2 more while I raise my weapon line.
I know I am going to give it up for weapon eventually, but you can play both and see which one you like most.

Squad leaders are rare, but have some very nice abilities.

Ranged healing is the only real feature we have, all the other ones are useless (poison is way too weak and highly resistable, disease only works for grieving). I'd rather be Doctor if I was you, I believe revive will be much more looked for than ranged healing. I don't know anything about squad leader though. Maybe, and only if, they add mind healing to CM, then it could be a viable profession, as it is right now, it's not worth the effort, the requisites and the skill points. Just mho of course.
