I wanted to put this in here just because I think it pretains this this thread.

Excellent post!

I agree that more communication would help very much, too. The only answers we have are from the 3 questions to the devs by Marrow (which was greatly appreciated on his part, but it would have been nice if the devs actually answered them). All they keep saying is "This is working as intended."

Well, what the heck are their real intentions, then? Why don't they tell us how the system is supposed to be working?

Sadly those were the correct answers until we prove the devs wrong. We are not the strongest 1:1 healer dispite what we do. Enhancers are freaking worthless. I have yet to use any cure pos / dis, state effects, or bleed removers. Revive is all borked to heck.

Until we get solid info and present it in a way to makes sense, the devs are going to continue to give answers like that. The thing thats frustrating for me is everyone is still hung up on freaking crafting rather than getting solid evidence that Doc is not working correctly.

Last week I was asked to provide 3 questions to the devs. In red are my questions. In green are the answers I was given. (note that I am not allowed to quote them so I am rewriting what they posted in my own words).

1. Doctor damage heals are currently very low (Adv Becta Jab, for example, only heals for 300ish points). Is this intended? A novice doc can heal damage as well as a Master.

Becta Jab was not intended to be a powerful heal, it was ment to be a quick low level heal. Doc has been balanced based on it ability to heal damage/time using several different types of heals.

2. Buffs are currently capped at 10% which is achieved at the medic level. Any chance of getting some increase as you gain skills? Currenly only gain a few minutes on duration as you gain skills which is hardly worth the extra skill points.

The regen buffs should make the skill points worth while

3. Med Exp issues. As a solo player med exp is split between combat (since you have to kill the mob to get the exp). Any chance that the amount of Med exp can be qual to weapons exp given without cutting each in half? So that if you kill a mob and it is worth 1k of exp that you get the 1k of med and 1k of weapons exp rather than 500 of each? Also, please provide a method of getting Med exp outside of combate. Many docs role play a non-combat doc. I suggest Wound Healing.

We chose not to give free exp to avoid afk play. We will not be going against that goal.

We will not be doubling the Med exp.

I can not express how utterly unempowered I feel at this time.

I would comment further but I am going to go for a long run with my dog and try to burn off some of my anger and frustration. My only good news is that the Respec is still available.

Now where do I get one of those yellow ribbons....

Edit: Oh and Marrow, I wish you good luck, I hope you do not suffer the same fate as the Armorsmith Correspondent...

EDIT: And it just occurs to me that this is a blatent lie as entertainers, dancers and musicians still get afk xp, artisans still get afk surveying xp.

Rifles/CM is very nice. I played it a bit.

Paralize for the root, drop a few dots, then kite away.

Oh is that right? Even if had the skill points to use, I certainly wouldn't waste them here and I've been medicine since I started in 07/2003.

The issue I was trying to address is not about group healing for exp. It is about solo healing for exp. Try killing a gurk solo and see how much xp you get. First you will need to be a master of a Fight class to kill it, second if you wish to kill it in a reasonable amount of time you will spend most of your time fighting and not healing. As a result you will get less than 1/10th the xp in Med xp. So in the end the only way to master doc is to do it in large groups. This is very hard to do when you play in off hours.

I was also trying to adress the issue that many docs role play a non-combat healer. (the friendly doc in the med center). There is no way to get xp this way.
