I was curious what is the difference between a doctor with fighting skills and a combat medic?

Combat Medics throw poison/disease gernades and can also heal your Mind.

Doctors heal their friends and can only heal Health and Action

Doctors do everything else that a Combat Medic can't and vice versa. Sounds good?

I'll give a more precise description:

The Doctor's strength lies in his ability to heal wounds in all of the upper 6 stats, healing every type of state (blindness, dizzy, poison, diese, etc..) and getting someclose range stims. The doctor is the only profession that can bring a dead player back to life using revive packs.

The Combat medic cannot heal wounds, cannot heal states, and does not getclose range med packs. The CM gets long range med packs (think of a healing grenade), can apply poison and diesese from long range (thing of a healing grenade but change healing to applying diesese), and gets some nice terrain negotiation skills. He can not revive players

I hope this clears some things up.

Minor clarificatoin on PaladinCleric's post.

Combat Medics can cure wounds. Just not as well or as quickly as doctors (the difference between a 200 point wound heal, and a 1500 wound heal).

Also, Doctors most potent ability is their ability to buff the health, strenght, constitution, action, quickness, and stamina pools of themselves and anyone else they so desire. Combat Medics cannot buff.

Combat Medics are also good at Area of Effect attacks and cures. One Area Stimpack can cure your entire fighting group, while a doctor has to single people out. Combat medics can also single people out for use with much more potent stimpacks.

A novice medic can cure wounds.... ergo Docs and Combat medics (who are ALL medics) can cure wounds. Docs just get bonuses to do it.

I knew that, I was under the impression that he meant CM gets specific wound heal abilities. If I misunderstood, I appologize.

How good of a fighter do combat medics make if they got master doctor and master combat medic? Mostly they would be buffing, healing, and throwing poison and disease etc right? They would mostly be group dependent by the sound of it. If one were to solo how good would this combo be vs a Master Doctor and Master T.K. comboinstead? And which is best for soloing?

OMG... Combat Medic wins for sure!

#1 - Doctors can't buff their mind
#2 - Combat Medics can damage mind

#1 + #2 = Doc get mind poison and wounds, CM just has to Mind Shot if they can (or hope they attack the Doc's mind) and poof. It's over! CM wins!

Even if the Doc keeps healing himself, the CM can do too, thus never getting hurt. It's all about mind!

Combat medics/doctor combo seems like a good combo then. Can they solo and hold their own? How much damage can they do then?
