Doctor Archive

Hey all. I am currently a carbineer/CM (about half way through the CM tree). I don't really know how much I am enjoying CM, so I come to you all for advice...

For me, crafting is just as much fun as healing. I take pride in crafting stims to the best of my ability. As a combat medic though, I only get 5 experimentation points for regular medic stims and components. I don't know if this will be fixed in the future, but it really bothers me that I could be making stims a hell of a lot better.

I was thinking that if I switched to doctor, I would have lots of things to craft, and I would only be limited by my resources and ability (rather than an ill-thoughtout system). This is something I enjoy and take pride in as much as keeping my groupmates alive in the field.

Any advice is appriciated.

Doctors are better healers than CM period. In the field, in the medical center, they are the top healers. The thing is, CMs are more efficient and useful(really useful...:smileyhappyin the field, but as you stated, you enjoying crafting stims too. The only problem I see is that you need to adapt your field tactics to:

1) Not use poisons and diseases.

2) Get in close, and it should be easy if you have pets as shields.

So it all depends on your play style and what you have more fun doing. Personally, I'll stick with doctor because I can make money selling my chemicals/components, and reviving in the field.
