With 9.3out, Keldarin let us know that there are a couple things they intend on tweaking in 10. The tweaks are:
- Reduced the maxarea on the Area Cure medicines by 10 meters. This makes the max theoreticalarea 30m.
- AlteredPotency resistance formula. Low resistance value buffs will not have as significant an impact on the resistance rate. High potency values will be more meaningful and can better counter the resistances. In short, poisons and diseases will be harder to resist.
- Added a 3 second minimum time limit to the healing and cure timer.

Ok .. Isn't the "area" surrounding the person who is doing the curing called a radius?
With "range" being a factor in making ADM's how could these curesnot be consideredranged?
If Iam curing a group of people that are 10 meters awayand I have a skill tape to increase my healing range .. wouldn't this in fact increase the area?
If the answer is no, please explain .. because I am really confused.

These items have an AREA OF EFFECT.
The Range component of Dispersal Mechanisms doesn't matter, only the Radius of the AoE.
Regardless of how large the radius, the target of your heal must be within 6m (or you can just use yourself as the target, and the Area of effect will hit everything (currently friend or foe) within the radius).
We are not tossing the kits anywhere. You can't sit outside of combat and toss them into battle. You have to be at MOST 6m (melee range)from your target.
AoE does not mean "ranged."

I have heard through chatter in game, that Doctors are going to get nerfed in Publish 10. More specifically, I have heard that Doctor buffs are getting the nerf by having their effective buff get cut in half. This will mean it will be impossible to buff for more than 1500, with an average, or good/devent buff, being around 1250.
Has anyone else heard this rumor? Or can someone confirm/debunk this rumor?
Thanks

I have been in test center several times in the last week, and there is no discussion at all about buffs. I've still seen an occasional player gonig around with 3k health and action, so I'm sure buffs have not been altered yet. Everyone is working on the Force Sensitive quests and everything connected to that. Being able to call and store vehicles from the tool bar is a really nice change, though--finally working as intended!

Are any of these changes in pub 10? I did not see them in the update notes.
