Combat Medic Archive

I know this has been brought up a million times, but I don't think it has in its own thread. Commando's have a dot effect that incaps and can affect a large group of people and take the same amount of skill points as combat medics and cost a whole hell of a lot less to produce said dot effect...and yet the +1 rule still exists. Does our correspondent fraise it that way to the devs? Because seriosly it makes no sense that I cant bring 10 rebels to +1 and while I'm being killed everyone else takes away my death blow and I lose 1k faction =P

Theirs incaps because it creates wounds. If you want to incap them, throw a poison and a disease, that does the trick for me. Also, they have to be relatively close to use that attack.

They are about equal in PvP. Combat medics are better for taking out people, but commandos can one-shot pets and people. In PvE there is no comparison. Commandos will be able to solo post patch krayt dragons. The fire dot is devestating. My alt character is a master combat medic. My first character was a master ch with flamethrowers 4 in commando. With that combo I could solo 3 force crystal hunters at the same time. Master commandos often take up the dirty fighting line in smuggler. Picture this: A fully buffed master commando runs into the force caves and hits flamecone 2 and plays dead while 5 untrained wielders of the dark side burn to death. You make money as a commando. You lose money as a combat medic.
