I really want to have some kind of medical related class but right now they all seem so useless or narrow in what they can do. Sitting around healing wounds all day (although useful for other people) dosen't seem worth it.

So what do you do aside from healing in med centers? I love being a medic in group oriented games but groups in swg are more of a burden than anything so again, whatare you guys doing?

We craft. The doctor is a focused on wound healing, buffing, and crafting meds. You can be a group healer, but must be within 7m of your target. If you want ranged healing, then you need to look into the Combat Medic line...

I thnk I've maybe spent an hour total in med centers since I started playing. If I'm in town, I'll stick my nose in to see if anyone needs some healing, and usually find them empty or adequately staffed, so I move on. Most of my time is spent exploring, running missions, healing for groups and crafting medicine. And a lot of gabbing in front of the mission terminals. And fishing when a scout is kind enough to give me some bait. With medical droids there's really not much point in standing around in a med center anyways.

Did anybody say Doctors and CM's for HIRE?

lol im a CM and i feel useless all the time watching people mind incap and die...

what do i do? go to the boards and scream at the devs who dont even listen....

then i kick little puppies and set fire to kittens and try to make anthrax in my basement to see if crafting xp reallyis too slow for CMs...

I agree the only time I'm in a medical center is after I clone and I'm healing myself, then I help other there if no one else is.

I'm out in the field, yes Combat Medics have range and it's great but I have Revive (not REZ, pet peeve) and it's very useful.

You just need to set the expectations, I tell the group "I'm a Doctor not a Combat Medic, if you need heals come to me I will not chase you."

Also drag is your best friend... I use drag so much even if they drop right next to me I drag 1st. The reason is 1) If there's any terrain bug it drags them to you and fixes it.

I agree completly.

The only time I spend in a medical center is if I just cloned and need to heal myself.

I am out in the field in big groups. Yes, Combat Medics have range but I have Revive which is bigger than any other ability.

To be good at being a Field Doctor you must;

1) set expectations. I tell the group "I'm a Doctor, if you need heals get to me. I won't chase you."

2) Drag is your best friend. At Master you range is 30 meters. I use it everytime, even if they are close. 1) it there's a terrain bug it will drag body to you and fic it. 2) 30 meters is huge

3) carry lots of revives

for the record it's resuscitation pack notrevival pack or resurrection (rez) pack.

no its not it what ever i name it...

lol thats why its so much fun to rename packs!!!!

im gonna start to sell my packs that bring people back from the dead with the title,

Elenora's Box of Toys!!!

gotta love being able to know ur packs

So as crafters, if only other medics can use your products is thre a decent market for them?

I like healing in medical centers, but it's not really the healing part so much...I like meeting different people, and I do a lot of "people watching". Still, you're right, sitting around all day gets boring. So, I do a lot of other things. One big time drain right now is keeping up on my harvesters and crafting. Since I finally made Master Med Crafting (yay!) I don't need to craft for xp anymore, but I'm even more interested in making high-end meds. Which brings me to what I do with those meds--healing in the field.I have a regular group I go out with; while we're out, I do healing, buffing, reviving--and since I'm also a pistol specialist, I do some fighting on the side. When they're not available, I can usually find a group, or I just heal people where they need it.

I just find exploits. I mean, easy way out is great right?

My wife really digs being a doctor and so does my small group. If she feels like it she can heal in the med center and chat or whatever. Or she can come out with the group and help us kick some booty. Very nice class the doctor Im glad you guys work for the most part considering my gimp commando. A good doctor or healing makes all the difference in the world.
