Thread: What's your species?
Seems like Zabrak make the most balanced Doctor. Is there any point in being a human doc?
Looking for some feedback... what species are you and why? Would you do it again or would you make some changes?
lol any race can be a great doc, the extra 300 or so points dont mean jack if you have you points spead quickly. I can wound heal standing non stop and never run out.
Oh, im a Mon Fish Man. =op Mind is 1300/450/750
Zabrak is the "best" from a pure stats standpoint for a Doctor, since they have the highest willpower.
But it really doesn't matter.
Why zabreks make the best healers?
Simple....the racial ability of /equilibrum
For those of you that dont know this skill...every 60 mins you can basically equalize ur bars. So if you are running low on one of the bars, you can hit this button to basically even out ur bars giving you a heal in a sense...
Since being a medic you will most likely have full H and A, when you run out of mind, hitting /equilibrum will basically give you a 60-70% mind heal...
this ability probably makes the zabrek the best medics IMHO...until they implement some way to heal mind damage...
ever been in pvp with people taking pot shots at you?
lol trust me there are alot of times when even as a zabrek with maxed mind stats i find myself out of mind...
Dosh.
I've found as a Master Doctor that Dosh are ok ... i run out of mind with decentwound packs (55%) relatively quickly (a max wounded healed in about 3 minutes with around 15 seconds between heals) results in "mind has reduced effectiveness of the medicine messages". But the mind recovery is decent. However, I'm unable to migrate doc related stats as the critical ones are maxed. As an all-around player the decent strength and constitution make for a great Pistoleer for hunting for quality organic resources. Of course will all these pursuits I have but 9 skill points left ... and am debating paying for future supplies in order to further develop my pistol experience.
Now here is what I'd love to be able to do ... take out a 2 module level 6 heal probot inside the cantina while set to /listen and /watch and heal all the sick folks watching the show. That would rock! I'd never run out of mind ... or packs ... I'd just have to go hunting and on hopper retrieval runs from time to time. LOL

My first char in beta was a Rodian marksman who did medic, then became a medic/doc.. his mind was horrble... I eventually migrated his stats before a wipe... he was still ok, even with crappy mind, unless the group I was in bit off way more than they could chew.
I even played a trando medic once.... worked fine.
The trick is in SWG, that your species plays more of a role when you consider ALL of your skills rather than just medic.
My rodian's huge action pool has other advantages.
He can artisan sample forever. between his huge action bonuses, and his medic level mind pool, I can heal another sampling friend, and sample myself... forever...2 other samplers, and mind regen doesn't catch up fast enough.
I can special attack like a maniac with my carbine... a dead baddie, can't hurt my friends.
I often do a significant portion of the damage in groups, as well as healing.
My trando medic/doc was also a polearm specialist. Putting out serious beatings also helped him keep his friends alive.
Things get even moe fun in groups with more than 1 medical type.
I have seen all species work in medic and doc. there are tradeoffs, but your other skillsets usually have more impact than your species.
