• Why are BEs the only ones who can DNA sequence the override terminal when destroying bases? BEs are crafters, not fighters. This ability should be given to (or at least shared with) doctors and combat medics. We're supposed to be in the thick of combat, while BEs are supposed to be back at home crafting meds and tissues for use by those out fighting. Everyone has an important role, but this particular piece seems out-of-whack to me.


• Med centers are currently completely useless AFAICT. As a doctor, I have absolutely no incentive to hang around in one. I would like a reason to do so, and I'd like a reason for player cities to have med centers (this would also be nice for my architect alt). Is there a reason that wound healing can now be done anywhere? While SOE doesn't want players to have to seek out other players to "get rid of something bad", this is unavoidable as long as wounds exist (eek, I'd better shut up lest they eliminate wounds completely). Alternately, require doctors to be in a medical center to apply buffs. Buff duration would need to be substantially increased in this case, but that would be well in line with the entertainer buffs, particularly the new crafting buffs.

1. Agro

They halfed the agro but doubled the healing so it balanced out the same as before. Also they need to fix BH mark agro from faction. Agro needs to be taken down another 1/3.

2. Rebuffing

Makes Master Doc buffs AOE so they can buff thier groups or make thier Buffs a group modifer stat like SL stuff so as long as your MD is near you the buff is in place.

3. Enhancers

I can have 80 or 150 augmentation and only have a 6min difference between a buff enhancer and base buff. If you can't increase the power more then have it decrease the cooldown or mind use. Or make the Enhancers do the buff in a AOE way. Also make using a enhancer with the enemy targeted target yourself like with base skills.

4. Cures

Outside of PVP and one or two areas of dungeons our stat cures are useless. If something is poisonous or diseased in thier name have it actually poison or disease them. Also if the NPC is a medic let that npc toss poisons or debuff. Not only would it reduce AFK players but would also make the game more interesting for the rest of the players.

5. Wound Healing

Needs to be speed up. Make it a infusion if you need to or give use a craftable that makes it an infusion.

My issues

• Doc / CM 4000 is standard in any template making master redundant.


• Since everyone can heal themselves it is usually unnecessary to heal someone else and if you do you are more than likely to get yourself killed.


• In faction pvp I noticed that if I try to heal someone with enhancer that is engaged in combat with another player I get -invalid target- most likely because the enhancer uses pass-through healing and tries to heal the player of opposing faction. Enhancers should use the same pass-through rules as the skills, for some reason they don't.


• Not a doc issue, but noone uses taunt. It is not powerfull enough to be usefull at all. It is definately too slow and the amount of threat generated is out-healed in seconds.

IMO the Devs need to re-do doc to make us a more intrigual (sp) part of combat. Our buffs should be better than food and last much longer to. Right now the only buff worth a darn is the health buff, but that only gives you 10% to your healt stats. Whats the point in being a doc when your buffs are pretty much useless and no one really pays anymore for heals or buffs?

I suggest that buffs add 20% to stats or regen rates and last 1 hour, also a buff to resist against states would be nice.Honestly poll your communitys and see how many people actually use buffs for combat, maybe I'm wrong but I rarely see anyone with buffs unless they're a doc themselves. Right now the only thing we do that is really a use to anyone is wound heals, and I'm tired of giving them to everone for free - Rebels excluded!
