Thread: 0430 ?
I'm thinking of taking up doctor because almost all our guild activities are impaired by not having a doc to buff, heal and rez as we merrily prove that tuskens, nightsisters and defence stackers do indeed have killing power. Saving everyone trips to Coronet for new buffs each time we mess up is bound to improve our game :-)
At the moment I'm master swordsman and master ranger with novice medic for stim Bs. I do enjoy master swordsman so will keep that.
My essential skills (apart from whacking things on the head with a hammer) will be healing, rez-ing and buffing. The buffs can be for less than 3 hours because when they run out I'll be able to buff again.
My question is - do I need master doctor or can I get by with novice doctor and less? Saving some scout skills for harvesting or picking up master brawler for toughness looks tempting but the overall goal here is to end up with the skills above.
Well, nope. Nov Doc or less wouldn't be enough for what you want to do. If you're lookingto able to buff, rez and use woundpacks and stims you could go 0-4-4-0 in Doc. Leaving the crafting line out and the Treatment Speed too, though if you did leave the Treat. Speed line out you'd heal alot slower (obviously) and wouldn't be able to use fire blankets, cure disease and poison packs. So if you really need the skill points for something else that's the best option you got I think.

Master swordsman gets an enormous boost if you can afford the skill points for master brawler. If I get master brawler I can only afford 0430 for doctor. So my choice will be very simple - I can either get master doctor and a bit of some other trade or master brawler and 0340 doctor.
1. With 0430 doctor will I be able to rez?
2. With 0430 will I be able to heal dizzy?
3. With 0430, if I buy a nice buff pack from a vendor who is master doctor and has all the experimentation skill tapes, what sort of stats could I expect?

Good feedback - thanks. Some comments and three questions:

1. With 0430 doctor will I be able to rez? Yep.
2. With 0430 will I be able to heal dizzy? Yep. You only need Novice Doc to be able to heal all states.

Well, with 0430 Doc you would only be able to use enhance packs with med use 80 or lower (since that last box in Med Knowledge will take your Med Use down to 80).Meaning you would have to buy Enhance Packs Cs or lower. Those normally have power around 600, so with Bivoli and all the rest you can expect a 1650 buff for about 2 hours or less. (That's based on the resources I used in Bloodfin to craft my last C pack) But in my opinion, you would really have a hard time to find any Doc out there with +12 experimentation points and the best resources and components that would be willing to make you sets of Enhance Cs, since Cs takes basically all the same resources Ds do. (including our precious avian meat and reactive gas).
