By this time most people have found the abilty to buff and heal wounds form the icon bar or magic, but what about all my 930's power buffs that got converted. I dont know about you guys but I hit the same power with the meds as using our magic icons. PLease tell me what is going on here?

I too would like to know that. I can buff 10% for 40 minutes without any meds. I was told that meds could bring that up to 45 minutes but who cares? If I can buff without meds, why would I craft?

Too bad stuff like this was a known bug on Test Center and people said the CU is not ready for live yet. But apparently SOE knew better and pushed it live even earlier than scheduled.
I wonder when this get fixed, because I got tons of resources, but im not respecing to BE unless I know my products will be useful.

The enhancers are supposed to increase our skills allowing us to go beyond the 10% normal buffs. The other enhancers like bacta toss and jab enhancers are to increase our healing skills with the appropriate ability. Unfortunately, the effects don't work. They know about it and are working on a fix last I heard.

I, for one, am happy they pulled the crafting out of the doc's hands and made it the responsibility of a bio engineer. I know a lot of people enjoy crafting professions, but they were never really for me. Now I can focus strictly on helping people and still have room in my template to put towards professions that will kick a little tail.

Not trying to insult you, but couldn't this have been avoided if you would have just read the documentation and FAQs on how the combat upgrade was going to affect doctors?

what does being a DR have anything to do with a mind focus crystal you get as a reward from the village quests? NOTHING,... the health crystal still works.

Looking from that point of view, the mind crystal works, too - it just doesnt find any mind it can buff. I remember seeing "Health", "Strength" and "Constitution" as tooltips when hovering over the new bars during early beta. And the health crystal still buffing for +2000 tells me it isnt balanced yet. Just like the Ice Pendant still enhanced combat medicine experimentation. They never touched that stuff during the conversion since they wanted to push out the CU in time for Episode 3 and dont care about pushing it out buggy.
