Yeah, I hate generalizations, and always have to comment on them. I wonder, too, how things will play out for those of us who have a master combat/master non-combat toon. I'd like to think that will still be possible, and that they're not forcing the idea of having to have an alt to have both. Of course, financially, that would work out nicely for SOE, but I can't see that as being realistic.

I think, rather, that SP requirements will be changed across the board so it would still be possible. If not, I guess it would still be ok with me, as I was planning on starting an alt anyway.

Stupid changes... although I've been arguing "wait and see" and "we don't have any real answers yet" I'm starting to lean towards the pessimistic side a bit more. I should go home, log in, and kill some rebs... that always makes me feel better

Hey Don't go doing that, you've helped take the edge off my frustration with your posts.

I have to admit that there are some people who just go into the profession and have a one sided view to it.




What's handy then is, after the doctor nerf,everyone will be in the profession with a one sided view to it...

What I disagree with, is combat medics tossing around poison and disease. They should have our new role out in the field.






No true Docs can and DID do combat support back in the beginning. We weren't there as much to heal with stims as to revive and prep the hunting party. (Gosh people actually hunted... IN GROUPS?!?!?! )


I'll admit I'm as nervous as the next person over this combat balance from a Doc perspective. Mostly because the bulk of the info has come through explaining some serious changes in some detail and Docs get, "Oh you're going to get some combat stims and..... stuff!"


I'm thirsting for some serious details here in that facet as well as the cert facet for these combat stims and who will be making them. Frankly upon initial read it smacks of the proposed combat Droid commander thing. "Oh you can make them but even as a master you have no clue how to use them."


Give me some more info... then I'll panic if needed

After reading the initial thread ummm my apologies I retract my statement. I may just be dropping Doc now, I'm a blend of all three Combat / Buffer / Crafter and honestly I'm not sure it's worth the time or the greif to hold onto it.


Damn shame been a Doc for almost as long as I've played.


I suppose now I'm panicing and really that's not easy to do with me.

Bah, just sit tight and see what happens. Worst case scenario is things will turn out the way you think. Best case scenario is docs will be pleasantly surprised. Would you want to miss that?





I'm not sure really when you look at it long term yes it's needed. Does fit my needs in game right now? Not really. I'm going Jedi and had really planned on keeping Doc until the most definately had to drop it and this won't allow it.


I nthe end yes this needs tobe done, the execution... enh I could be happier with it. Please understand this isn't about resources, buff bots or crafting Docs, I do all three. This is about a distribution of points and the most effective way to progress my PC towards the final goal of Jedi.


This set up so far has me thinking that keep Doc may not be in my best interest
