After reading Publish 7's notes:
I left out damage and wounds, im more focusing this on curing during battle.
8. Thats how many status/DOT things we will be able to cure. on average a person might get 3-5 status/DOTeffects on them. Imagine everyone in your group are Dizzy/Bleeding/Poisoned/Diseased/Fire. I dont have 10k mind to deal with even a few people that are just poisoned. The HAM cost/time delayis crazy. Not to mention people who wont stop moving to get healed, then complain to you when theyget killed.
With how fast CMs can dish out Poisons/Diseases and how slow i can heal it, AND the horrible HAM costs of healing 10 people's poisons/diseases, Doctor just isnt worth the skill points to me anymore. So after having Doctor since around Early August, ill be dropping it very soon. Let someone elsedeal with healing me.
Im not saying nerf combat medics, just have it so Doctors can be their equivalent opposite. I guesssome wouldconsider ita "nerf" to them. I just hate being a buffing/cure poison/cure disease chump.
We dont need area cures, all we need is a vaccine we administer that reduces the effects of poisons/diseases. And the higher quality the pack, the more resistent it becomes.
Another idea would be to make it so when your Surgical Droid is within 5m of you, it reduces your HAM cost, the drawback is that since the droid is weak, you run the risk of having it destroyed.

Where exactly do you get 8 types of damage to heal? There are a total of 13 types of "combat damage". By combat damage I refer to damage, states, effects incurred IN COMBAT. Doctors can heal 12 of these while CMs can only heal 5. Yet we are supposed to be the better combat healers? Absolutely ridiculous.Doctors are overall the better "combat healers" per se.
Doctor - Health Damage, Action Damage, Intimdated, Stunned, Dizzy, Blind, Bleeds, Poison, Disease, Wounds, Death, and now Fire
CM - Health Damage, Action Damage, Mind Damage, Bleeds, and Wounds

And to add to that, CMs can only heal wounds as good as a Master Medic

We don't need love. We're not a broken profession. Doctor was always one of the most complete (even overpowered)professions in the game and I'd much rather see Carbineer, Pikeman, Squad Leader andDroid Engineer get some attention ahead of us.
