Why is /healstate a doctor skill? Seems obvious it should be CM. You get stunned/dizzied/intimidated and you run to a hospital??? not a CM? Those are exactly the kinds of things a combat medic should be taking care of.


There also NEEDS to be a stim to stop burning (should also be CM, not doc). But maybe after burning is stopped, there should be special burn wounds that only a doctor can heal or something.


As of now, what the heck are you supposed to do when you get burnt? It incaps you multitimes, even if you kill the commando, and you end up dying from 3 incaps.

You have the common misconception that Doctors should, and do, stay only in the hospital, and that is wrong. Doctors are, and should be, out in the field just as much as CM's. They have many skills that make them valuable in combat, such as Rez, buffs, heal state, and heal poison/disease, etc....

Doctor is NOT a frontline profession. Stun, dizzy, and intimidate are frontline status effects.

Doctor IS a front line profession !


Most of the Doctor's skill are font line skills (heal state, heal damage, revive, cure, buffs)


The ONLY skill that's not a font line skill is heal wounds.


So please stop saying doctors should stay in med centers, and stop whining about doctor's skills.

Show me where it says that Docs have to be confined to the Hospital and cant do anything in combat.


Your just angry that there are skills that you want that are in other proffessions. If you want the skill, take Doctor.

Explain to me how Doctor is not a Frontline Profession.

Rez is a Frontline Ability.
Stims are a frontline ability.
Curing Poisons and Diseases are Frontline abilities.
Healing states are a frontline ability.

Just because you think a Doctor should stay in a Hospital doesn't mean that's the way their profession was designed.

How the hell is healenhance a frontline skill? That's like saying crafting is a frontline skill.


Just because Doctor itself isn't a frontline profession doesn't mean someone who is a doctor can't go up and heal someone, but that isn't their forte.


Also, someone can be a Doctor and a fighter, just like they can be an architect and fighter or armorsmith and fighter.

So your saying you would NOT like to have a Master Doctor with you to buff your HAM to twice its normal level when you go hunting, or PvPing?

You're absolutely correct! Doctor has more front-line use than a CM. It's a wonder they put"Combat" in Combat Medic in this game. One would have thought that a CM would bring more to the battlefield (other than heals and poisons) than a Doctor, who by the way has an extra 14 skill points that could be used to increase his combat worthiness over what a CM can ultimately be.


CM - glorified medic with one note-worthy special - poisons.


Disgruntled and Disillusioned.
