This is the only game I know where one player can buff another player for 400% to over 1000% (+ a chef's mind drink buff) of his performance.
When I starting my Brawler 0004 (not even a pikeman yet) I could kill groups of 4 or 5 high reds, that I would have normal died very fast too. Just trying to fight one. Even my Marksman 0040 can stand next to 3 or 4 of the reds and kill them, its just a bit slower (They are still red at Pikeman 3x22).
Its like everyone having GOD MODE=ON.
This class needs help, Maybe 25% to 40% (300 to all) buff would more like it. I bet it dos not help the END game fun too, Is there anything in the game that just one buffed player and maybe Doc cant kill ?
PS. Just don't let docs buff the performance of space ships (even via the owner), and if any class can. Just 20% to 30% would be nice.

negative
the profession costs numerous SPs so only one combat prof can be mastered. its the only way to protect yourlself against ubber dot pvp. it is 100% necessary. i disagree.

heres what I did, got some padded armor with 48% kinetic resists, and made some buff packs that would hit for 1300 points. Went to the geos and buffed myself and that was pretty freaking hard! Once/If this armor and buff nerf happens its gonna be alot a different playing. At the same timeI did the same thing with the padded and real buffs, 2400+ and it was difficult but not too intense solo.

I see school has gotten out for today.
You clearly
1. Are not a doctor in which case you should leave as this board is for discussing becoming and being a doctor (as per the sticky I'm sure you glossed over in a fit of bitching rage)
2. Did not list this on the core systems board where it should go
3. Are nothing more than a troll. Bye Bye.
4. Do not understand how armor works.
5. Do not understand that buffs will be nerfed regardless and therefore are wasting your breath.
Under the Bridge called, your shift.
lol agreed!!

It's not so much that buffs are OVERpowered as it is that everything else is UNDERpowered.
Sure, I agree that buffs are too large, but the fact of the matter is that combat is completely hosed right now (has been for, ummm, 9 months or so). On the bright side, Test Center just got a patch that enables MOBs to (gasp) change to more effective/appropriate weapons and (double-gasp) use their special attacks.
The second one is the biggie. Expect the baddies to hit HARD in the near future. /crossfinger

No joke. Good luck trying to solo nightsisters when they use force powers again. You'll go in with your 80% kinetic against 2 or 3 protectors and come out with your ass in hand.
Even if this happens I guarantee these whiners will still stop by and claim that those grauls still are soloable and not realize there's more content (with ass kicking specials soon).

The most overpowered class?
I thought it was Jedi... or Rifleman?

Jedi is far overpowered right now and I think CM is as well. Rifleman I have been able to take out and I do not PvP much.

Maybe the buffs hit alittle high. Heck, there's no way any Doctor can contest that. The original posters' POV is skewed big time,buffs prolong players lives not kill opponents for them. Armour with insanely high resists protect players, weapons dishing out extreme damages is what enables you to kill 4-5 red tags. Buffed, armoured and using a looted(NOT player made) CDEF weapon, you WILL die to 4-5 red tags. There is no ands, ifs or buts about it.
Buffs let people grind combatprofessions in days what would take them weeks. It is the armour and weapons that let you tank high level creatures.
Heck I'm a MD/TKM, I fight unarmoured all the time. I will buff my self for 2500 pts and on brandy and powerboost my mind can hit 2400 w/o entertainer buffs and guess what red tags will tak me down if I don't pay attention. Heck the other day 8 Mokk killed me because I got cocky. No armour, no knucklers, just buffs and I died...a TKM /shrug
There goes your theory

I have been a master doctor for over a year (plus doc 4-4-4-3 in beta 3), and I agree with the first poster. The rest of you are pathetic. Stop trying to cling to our overpowered, ridiculous buffs and think about the health of the game for once.
I hate it when people oppose nerfs for the sake of it. Doctors have it waaay too good in this game - yes we are just one of many things that are unbalanced, but the insane power of our buffs is part of the problem and needs to be reduced NOW.

apparently you didn't actually "read" all the other posts...
Oh and Doctors have it no better than any other trade, actually truthfully we could be rated below a few easily
