Thread: Why cant Doc play the Healer Role as in other Mmorgs?
I-O-VIE wrote:you guys are still missing the point: a "doctor" is a civilian role; whereas a "combat medic " is a military role. doctors don't need "spray, and toss", or and kind of "area" actions. they're ment to work in a hospital (even maybe a field hospital) but are certianly "not" made for combat. (and i mean: that in the design of "this" game, it was never meant to be so) now they 're trying to lay a cm template over md, and it just doesn't fit all the things you are talking about need to be aplied to cm, and jedi "doctor does not even belong in a descussion concerning "combat.
d4mit Jim, i'm a doctor not a combat medic!

If you want to play a standard healer, go play a standard MMORPG.
I'm a Master Doc/Master Pikeman, and I am never USELESS in my group. Never. So what if stuff agro's to me? I just sit and keep myself healed, while the group kills things. Maybe you're just a lousy Doc. That doesn't mean the profession is broken. EQ might be better for you.
The only time I get useless in combat is when the group has Jedi in it and the threat isin't very great. Jedi can burst-heal better than Doctor over the short run, and if the threat is poor, then the long-term Force expenditure doesn't come into play.
It'd be great if Doctor obtained XP from WOUND healing out of combat, but I suppose THAT would be too much to ask.
