Doctor Archive

The one big problem that I see facing the doc profession right now is quite simple....numbers. After the great buffs(which were really needed) after Pub 19, I am starting to see more and more of the "Master Doctor" titles. After the CU us Docs weren't all that common, and one often had to do some searching for one to heal their wounds, but now Im starting to see mass amounts of Doctors, including over 6 in the Dant MO at one time. Though some people may see this as a good thing, as it means we might get better representation from the Devs, I regard this as a rather bad thing. If there is one rule that I've have noticed while playing the game it is this....IF THOUST DARE TO HAVE LARGE NUMBERS THOU SHALT BE HAMMERED DOWN TO THE GREATEST DEPTHS OF NERFDOM.

Sorry about the caps, but just trying to get a point across, If any profession starts to get a population above the norm, they are often stomped back down by some rather over the top nerfs. Consider the Pokemon wars of yesteryear, did they not getsmacked down rather harshly? Thats the main thing that im worried about, The devs are not goodat moderation, if they nerfa profession, that prof ishammered downwith a sledgehammer andi dont want thatto happen to us. Can you visualize what will happen if Docs continue to keepgrowing merely because people with respec tokens want the "uber heals"?Its not a pretty picture at all. May i ask, have everyone else noticed the sudden surge of our population?I've already heard murmerings from the Jedi boards about nerfing Docs, andi think that having large numbers will merely cementour immenient nerfing.

I don't disagree that if the devs believe Docs are the "uber" class, they will make adjustments. I also agree that if the number of Docs go up considerably, then odds are good that that perception may take hold.

However, I'm not seeing this huge influx of doctors. Quite frankly, I'll occasionally have a CM in the party with myself, but it's fairly rare that a full doc joins in for the fun. As a result, I'm not too worried. Current observation places player quantity in the following order, based on my participation in public hunting groups on Dant:

As a result, I'm not worried at this time. It's not uncommon for me to be in a group with two or more other BHs, or two or three RMs or more. But rare indeed is the group with more than two medical professionals about Medic.
