Interesting,
From many that i've read here that made it, we all had around 30 to 40 in the first wave using different methods. I'm a pure doc and quite frankly, I didn't even care to who should i heal or not depending if it counts formeor not. Im a doc and my job is to heal fighters. Went there and done that.. thats it!
This quest draws the line about docs. If your a doc only to buff in starports and try the quest you may freakout and not be prepared enough. My advice if you want it, be a real field doc for once and everything will workout fine. This quest was not any different for me then when i go with fighters-hunters in a group. I was loaded with stims-E, rez kits, state heals and was just doing 1 simple thing, the doc job. Not watching the action of the fightbut the group bar only, checking ham, distance and just clicked... follow... shout %NT dont kite andrun away like in solo group run TOWARD ME you st..., stims or rez if he was to panic to stop running like a chiken without head.. clic another one... follow, shout etc etc..
My biggest problem was that most peps in group dont know how to work in team and only think about their kills counting on you to cover their a*s but dont think for a sec to cover their docs so be prepared to be your own bodyguard. So half way into a wave you have peps spread 250m in every directions... if you go for them cause they spam tells for a rez 300m away.. you loose 2 other lifes were you were in the last half of a wave cause all their minds are low and BF is high. choice is yours here.
Their is no magic or secrets ways to do this simple medic quest. Play the role of your profession, from novice medic to master doc you just need not to like white bars in ham, bleeding or other states. They are no short cuts. After reading all the details of whats count and whats not counting, all of it is just fiting the natural flow of a field doc in combat. you dont stick just to 1 guy... your there for all in group and run to help them. Stop calculating for whats paying you and just concentrate to you task, your role in this combo quest and the next thing you will know,you will be done. Just one row of a toolbar and your set including 2 shouts pre-program to remind people to regroup and not loose site of where the docs are and run toward them for help.
I dont even need to go back there but i still do cause it's the bestfield doc game play this game as to offer nowthat made me pick doc as my first prof from the start and itslightyears away of the buffing dispensers.
Rifleman have theire game, TKM have theirs so the docs... The real work is not unlocking the healing quest it's what comes after with all the xp you need to convert at 10 to 1... this is the nightmare not the quest.
for what it's worth, this is how i felt reading this thread.

For the love of god too try to have two rezzer's in your group. Nothing worse than not getting your force of will off and dieing with no one to rez you.
It was very old school though and very telling on both the healer side and the fighter side on who knows how to keep thier docs and such up.
In other words it is a blast and equally as frustrating to do
