Thread: Too many doctors around
I hope pubish 10 will sort this problem out. The good side of it is that buffs have come down in price.

Yesterday I was in coronet city on corellia and while walking around I coundn't stop and notice how many doctors are about. Every which way I looked they were about 3 master doctors on each side of me. Then at the starport I saw 6 master doctors out of 15 people waiting for the shuttle (i took a screen shot of it). This is the sad state the game as become were every other player wants to be a doctor

I can't count the number of times I've seen a buffing doctor say "sorry I don't have woundpacks on me" or "I don't have any rez kits" but are only interested in just buffing for money. It may be true most of them are for PVP.

What I do on my doc. /peace /healstate ect for the other heals. Works like a charm.
/healstate in itself has been a godsend in the Geo caves. Burn through intimidate packs like nobodys business but we get the job done.

I agree I always have a full set of wound packs, poison & disease cure packs stim's B's and rezz kits Fire blankets are in the making heh as well as my buff packs, so whether I'm buffing or fighting not much I can't handle

Truly a wise person to see this. A master doctor myself (the very first profession I wanted to be, and have kept it ever since its mastery), I have seen times when in coronet there will be 3 buffers around with huge lines, but when a person wants a fire removed (not even TEF'ed, so there's no penalty to the doc), state, poison/disease removed, or even so much as TRAINING, the "busy buffer" either "doesn't ahve the time"or lacks supplies. Why in the GALAXY should a doc not ahve cure poison/disease packs? I always carry a full stock of state heals, rez packs, DoT heals, stims, and buffs. But NONE of these is more important than another to me, and will restock if I'm low on any one of them.
As for turning people down for training, some people just need to be less self-centered, and help someone besides themselves for a change. When someone asks for training, EVEN IF not directed towards asking me, I will always offer. I ask THEM to send ME the invites, so that I don't screw up my buffing macro by targetting them, train them in what they want, I'll ask if they have any Q's to becoming doc if they are progressing,and wish them luck. When I see a person on fire, as long as they won't give me a TEF for healing them, I cure that, as well as other states. Things like stims, status heals, and those sorts work on independent timers than buffs and wound heals, so There IS time, at master, it's still 15 seconds between the different stats of buffs, which is plent of time to target another person, give them the status healing they need, and re-target the person being buffed with no problem.
Doctors ARE a profession of making money, but the PRIMARY PURPOSE of a doctor is to HELP others. Without others needing help, docs would NEVER make money.
Sax,
Why are you not healing people if it will give you a TEF? A TEF will only be picked up if you're covert, surely your allies deserve as much assistance as a stranger that's wandered up off the street.
It frustrates me watching a couple of overt imperials show up in Coronet, kill any overt rebels, with not 1% of covert rebels attempting to do anything to aid their overt allies. Sure, if we're unbuffed, without combat skills, we run a high chance of being killed. But throwing a couple of chunky heals or curing our allies poison/disease may be enough to allow our allies to take down their oponent. If you've signed up for the war, on either side, make an effort to help those you've joined up with.
Seva Gafiv,
