This is not directed at all combat medics, just some of them.


Every cantina I have been in recently has at least one combat medic in it area healing the entertainers.I reliezeCMs need exp too, but this is killing the doctors and medics who are trying to move up. If you are looking for exp in the cantinas, don't us area affect stuff in the cantinas.


Please keep in mind that other players are trying to move up as well.

Not to mention other CM's who haven't gotten that far yet. I got MM and a few CM boxes healing afk entertainers but once you get to combat med support IV and get to use the area poisons, xp comes fast and furious and you need to get your but out of the cantina and out spamming AOE's on durni lairs.

That being said, **edit** is up with all the Master Docs healing in the cantinas? I guess the same could be said for them, too. Now if they're trying to level CM I can't think of a slower way once you're a master doc. Doesn't make sense.

... since nobody can claim a group of afk spamming entertainers as their own then wouldn't it seem that all's fair? Used to bug me how in the med center the docs hit that blackbarred guy and heal him tons of wounds all in one hit while I was stuck doing little amounts, was that fair? He was using a natural ability.


Just like the CM using area heals is using a natural ability.

I'm a Master Combat medic that got all of his experience in the field healing hunting / raiding parties.


I have ZERO sympathy for whiny entertainer healers. I'm gonna carry some supper Area-Cs with me just to walk into cantinas and toss a few about (and I don't even need the experience). Just because i think they entertainers are offering me a service, while you... are not...

BTW: Go to dantoonie mining outpost. Hook up with one of the dozen 10 person hunting groups there. You'll have 1 box of doctor every hour. Have fun with your skills.


Healing AFK entertainers is like hitting yourself in the head with a bag of rocks.

I used to hang out at the cantina and hit entertainers with area heals. But I am getting way more xp hanging out with my guildmates throwing ranged stims and healing their wounds while hunting, duelling, etc. And its a lot more fun than standing in the cantina. I also picked up 0-2-4-0 doctor and am getting mega-xp buffing by guildmates.

telling a CM not to use area packs is like telling a doctor not to sell buffs, or use wound d packs. seeing how cantina's arent the ONLY place to get exp... i'd say its fair game if you can drop it. i got most of my cm exp having my brother tumble to standing for about 5 hours, but... i have been known to hit the cantinas when bored guilty as charged

I camp the cantina for a couple reasons:


1) When I was an itty bitty CM, AoE stim As were -great- for getting those next boxes. I could spam poison at Durnies, but them I'm wasting a perfectly good poison and killing cute little durnies. I'd much rather waste a perfectly good AoE Stim A and heal a bunch of neat entertainers so I can at least have a conversation while I'm grinding.


2) I can use /healmind on other medics to give free Entertainer Healing experience to the entire cantina. If I'm standing in the same cantina with another CM I can use /healmind tag with that CM to give the entire cantina a HUGE amount of entertainer healing experience.


Honestly, I don't need the EXP and am glad to leave room for an medic who asks - but with a group of 30 dancers and musicians plus the folks who're being healed, it's really easy for me not to notice that someone's trying to get some medical EXP. If you ask a CM to stop tossing the cantina AoE, I think you'll find that most of us are happy to do so.


By the way, if you're a doc, it's a stroke of luck to find a CM healing a cantina. If you ask nicely, they may be able to disease your pet, and as a doc healing pet wounds is a much quicker way to get EXP than cantina healing. When I was using good D packs, I could get upward of 1500 EXP a pop for wound healing. Also, if you're at least 0/2/4/0 you can always buy enhance Ds and offer to buff folks for a lower than normal rate to get your XP up quick - at 0/3/4/0 Doc,I buffed anywhere from 700-2200 with 800 power packs for 350-1100 EXP every few seconds.


Best of luck with the grind!
