Combat Medic Archive

ok I forgot to mention that the title was the worst title ever, as well. whatever...
I play SWG since 3 month ago (call me noob if you want, I don't care, I have some fun, that's the point)
so I tried a few professions, and for all of those, I used to browes profession boards for usefull or anecdotic infos.

as I started combat medic, I also started to read these lines.

we have more posts crying for nerfs than actually combat medic posts.

I'd like to ask a question to the nerf cryers:
why don't you post on other professions to get them FIXED ? so you get the same result, and you get to keep dignity.

another thing:
I thought TKA was overpowered, so I went TKA, and yes dizzy/KD is actually overpowered. and TKAs hit hard as a winter gas bill. but the point is: they have cheezy defenses (just as commandos). ok

so let me ask you another question:
would ANYONE want to play a profession that stinks ? I mean take off the TKA or commado damages, and see what will happen, no more TKAs, no more Commandos, except maybe hologrinders (who, as we all know, are ruining professions already).

so let's do some maths now, very simple:

let's say the balance between offense and defense is 10 points.

TKA's get 6 points to offense, 4 points for defense (toughness/mitigation etc...)
Fencers get 4/6 as well as pistoleer, don't hit hard, but have good defense mods
Commandos get, let's say 9/1
and, finally combat medics get like 10/0 there's nothing easier to kill than a medic, healing delays, ticks delays, a TKM or Rifleman can easily take a CM in like 4 or 5 hits, don't mess with me, I did it, and the guy died way before I ran out of mind, just burst run, and if you get lunge2, you don't even have to.

ok let's talk about unbalanced now.

Pikemen, I'd like to say 4/4 bad accuracy, average defenses
Carbineers, let's say 3/4 cause they just kill themselves with specials

that's unbalanced, so go to the pikemen/carbineer boards and cry for fixes

take a few seconds ingame, while waiting for the shuttle, take a look at CM tree, I'll give you 10 bucks if you can find a SINGLE defense mod in the WHOLE TREE, even less than commandos who have a few.

take a few seconds now, offgame, and check how many combat profession we can take along with CM, ok the best one would be rifleman. ok ? now let's just write a thing that EVERYONE who is familiar with PvP in SWG know: Having a single elite combat profession, even the "uber" one, is just useless, take TKM or rifleman alone if you don't believe me, and then go PvP. you'll just get OWNED by any good PvPer around, that's a known fact.

so you whiners, let me just tell you what you really are:

You may play for more than one month, you went to the boards, checked about what is the "uber" profession, you did master it, then you went PvP.

you simply got owned by more experienced players who actually know what they're doing, not like you, just spamming the "supposed" "I win" button, without using what's supposed to be inside your skull.

let's say -for example- you got TKM, made a macro with unarmed KD2, and unarmed hit 3 spam, like 80% of TKMs, even those who are "friendly" duelling out there. you can apply this to other profession supposed to be "uber"

then, one day, you got diseased, I know how you could feel that day, you just panic'd "oh god, my macro doesn't work anymore, what can I do without my super special total ownage ?" then you just died (as TKM/blademaster/master brawler, yea another supposed "uber" template, I know what I'm talking about, I just got 2 master commandos to panic with the mind bleeds I got with my few skill points left, then I got both, you panic, you die, plain and simple).

so you just died, just as you were supposed to, only justice IMO. then you started to doubt, about how "uber" you were, then you couldn't just realize that NO template is INVINCIBLE, so you started to wonder who owned you so easily, oh ! a combat medic ! then, wounded in your ego, and just unable to understand that there's no "I win" template, you started to whine, without trying to understand why you lost, so I'll tell you why, you panic'd, then you lost, cause you just didn't know what else you could do, over your well set KD2/UH3 macro (replace it by whatever you want), so you got lost, and you got slained, just cause you are just unable to play your profession, you want to set all the other professions as limited as your way of playing yours, cause your poor mind is just unable to understand complexity, and finesse. That's why you didn't choose "alternate" templates don't you ?

if CM is so overpowered, why all the noobs are still going TKM/commando or TKM/rifleman ? I got the answer, cause it's easy to understand what are the "I win" command, let me tell you one thing, there's NO "I win command" and you just noticed it when you got owned by a "support" profession, you just didn't realize it.


just a last thing, yall crying for nerf, in the name of gameplay and balance, so start to whine on the following boards.

Pikeman
Carbineer
Politician
Bounty Hunter
Musician/dancer/Image designer
Droid Engineer
Ranger (what's the point about making hughe camps ?)
etc.... etc....

blah blah blah, got owned ? start to question yourself why

you guyz ready ? 3....2....1.... flame I don't give a SH*T about what you're thinking, learn how to play the game then we could talk again.

There are no overpowered stuff in that game (ok maybe KD2), there are just bugs and underpowered professions wich need to be fixed.... and whiners who need to learn how to play...

hehe, looks like you got one of the nerfherders mad.

I'll give you 5 stars even though you already have it, for a having a firm grasp of the obvious. Kudos for stating it like it is, and being a TKM at that.

It's defense stacking that has the game out of whack. We went from being SWG: Poke'mon to being SWG: The Matrix Yet Again and these guys are the Agents. No amount of accuracy can touch them with their ridiculous dodge and defense bonuses.

A bit wordy but well worth the read.

You nerfherders can read, can't you?

There is a food available in-game that provides poison/disease resist for a period of time. Perhaps the CM profession is balanced and working as it should.

You should look into helping fix the other professions as it easier to cry nerf than actually create a solution to a broken profession.

As for the defence stacking if one spends 234 pts in combat skills, should one not gain some benefit from this? Even if they remove this ability, many will drop them, but on my alt I shall not as it provides a broad range of offensive abilities. Which is something your cannot nerf. As switching between weapons to achieve a goal is good tactics.

Actually...TKA's get some pretty nice Defense...And actually they did take away commando damage..And yes its ridiculous that the Combat medic/commando forums get trolled by so many nerf callers. If youre going to be there, good for you, but dont be a jerk.

Absolutely brilliant post YamadaMan, I'll be referencing this in posts a LOT

Amen brother, you said it all as it should be.

***** Five star
