I'm refering to of course by the Venom that can be utilized by the Combat Medics which can be gotten from the Geonosian Cavern Which ticks 1000+ and the areas are just as deadly(a little lower potent but still a pain)
I was hit by one by a MCM in Coronet, and in combat, roughly it took me about 2 heals to cure myself of it, but granted in that time, he was already stacking a huge disease and intensifying the Poison as time passed by. (He was a CM/Doc w/ Pistol skills) My question is, the Poison/Disease cures itself, does the factor of the Effectiveness experimented upon it makes it easier and faster to cure oneself of this new Venom disease? Since I used to be able to cure myself with the C Cures in just one shot, so now that it takes 2, I'm just curious, is it the "lable" of the C Cure or does the Effectiveness Percent matter when you experiment it in hopes of curiing this new Venom Faster? I would really like to know this and whether the actual gathering of high quality materials to push my cures to 98% Effectiveness really matters.

You're telling me CMs just got more powerful? Brilliant work by the devs.

Yeap.. with the venom, and if you don't cure it instantaneously before the tick hits, say goodbye to some mind, it's potent stuff, no kidding. Check the Combat Medic forum on the part about the Venom, deadly stuff. Not complaining too much about it, just trying to find a solution for us docs, its why i asked this question.

It is complicated. These things threw the normal cure balance way outa whack. This and other items in the cave that seem too powerful, have been brought up to the devs. TH was out last week, so it may take a bit for all the stuff to shake out.

I really hope something is done... I think it would go up to my number 2 priority now (after the buffs bugs of course).

Bleh, so there's no point in experimenting in effectiveness then. What a bummer. Might as well just toss all the experimentation points into charges then, I hope though that its possible if you can push for the Effectiveness of the cures to actually correspond with the power rather than just the B Cures > C poisons, A Cures > B Poisons, etc.. Since to me, it seems kind of a waste then to gather all the good materials and to have the experimental bar just useless.

My friends My friends your tell me a true Knob Medic Master Medic Master Doctor and Combat Medic 4/4/3/4 that theres a Venom out there that I can get? Hmmm Maybe now The impls on the server will stop calling me Medic Boy. LoL

I am not screaming nerf the CM but when they can hit you with pre cave posion that kills your mind with 1 tick um problem. Not even a rifleman with the most powerful weapon can do that.

That and I used brandy and canaps to pump my willpower to 2596 and it still couldn't recharge my mind fast enough to cure myself.

No offencee to the devs but if they are gonna balance out professions they should balance them all out at once. This one at a time thing is makeing some professions too whimps and some too uber!

So can we get a resource that will pump up our meds? Something that make a pack have mutiple uses? I.e a rez pack that rezes and heals all stats. or a stimpack that heals mind too. Make it an optional addative just like cooks and other professions have, a rare one at that so you most likely cannot make factory runs fo it. Or a schmatic for a mind heal stim with limited uses like the other loot.

Please

Agree... the whole combat system is rotten to its core.

First thing that the devs need to do is display the power on cure packs. We know how powerful the poisons are, but we really have no idea how powerful the cures are that docs are using. How many people really focus on gathering great flowers, greens, and inert gas? How many docs experiment on charges because in the past the charged-experimented cures were always "good enough"? What are the quality of subcomponents used (and just as importantly, do they even play a part in cure crafting)?

I suspect that there is an imbalance problem, but until we can see the cure's power to do some real testing, guessing about it is somewhat hopeless.
