Ok Looks Like this is needed here I'll be posting this to the Medic/Doc boards as well.

People needed

Artisan, Medic,Entertainer and a scout or some one who needs camping exp.

Artisan finds a radioactive to sample that causes wounds...

Artisan watches dancer gets healed by the medic scout sets up camp to allow heals.

I know it takes a bit to organise but when you see the xp gains you'll do this.

Whatever the reason, if tumbling is in the game, and medics/docs can heal them, then they are going to take this quick route to master doc because quite simply, its just so damned easy imho. I created a character on another server to test my theory, got shot up and went to a med centre, just to see what kind of treatment i would get.. docs/medics healing tumblers, i walks in, .. waited for ages.. no heals. Sent tells.. no replies.. nothing... this even suggests that the docs were macro'ing their heals too in time with the tumbler and were probably watching TV while they easy grind their way to the next box of skill they wanted.

Now whether the devs have said this not an exploit or not, this is totally by-the-by when it comes to honesty. If you really do care about this medic/doctor profession, then perhaps you might like to actually work the profession the way it was meant to be. I mastered Doctor on Eclipse the old fashioned way and spent a while healing people in med centres, but the best xp i was getting was actually from taking a droid, and standing in coronet starport where the arrivals spawn, and healing them up before the objects had loaded for them. You'd be surprised just how many people arrive with wounds right there. You'd also be surprised just how many people suddenly think.. omg... i'm healed.. check their spatial for who healed them.. and then tip you too.

I've seen countless tumblers shouting things like... 'Tumbling for your pleasure' (OMG! who's pleasure?) and 'Tumbling for you! Please tip generously!' etc etc...and its people doing this that now make the medic/doc profession and absolute joke. The people who master this way have learned how to use stims. BIG DEAL. Their next step once the healing is out the way is.. hmm now let me see.. grinding Stim A's until they can make Advanced Bio Effect Controllers, then grind them to master... yep another pattern emerging here.. so our New Master Doc now knows how to use stims. (probably bought from a master doc), and knows how to make a stim a, and an Advanced Bio Effect Controller.

So the pattern goes on.. our new master doctor then realises he/she can't make meds as good as the other docs, but can make a packet from buffing.. so new master doc goes and buys buff packs from a vendor at a silly cost, then proceeds to buff ppl to make money.

Where is the skill in this? It seems to me that its a surefire way of never truly mastering a profession, and just living off someone elses efforts there after.

I'm sure there is one or two docs who grind this way who go on to be very good master docs and craft their own stuff.. but there is ALOT who don't.. who just wander around trying to buy the best buffs they can so they never have to do anything except part with some cash.. to buy stuff in.. to make some cash.

The real decent doctors however.. never do that.. and thats where i personally prefer to be.

(sorry if this aggravates anyone, but things like this needed to be said)

well if some people don't like tumbling you can always do like I did: I sometimes healed the entertainers in my guild when they were in cantina it gave some pretty good xp because they got xp for me watching. And you can also do like I did when there were no entertainers on: I would grab my friend who is also grinding medic and has combat skills then we dueled and when we were near incap we peaced then healed each other or we just did it in combat so there you are if you can't get in a group then do that!

woot

If the lamers would have done the combat revamp before adding more bugged content we would have had a solution to this issue. The combat revamp claims that when using HAM to perform actions it comes from the max limit of your bar and not taken away as damage that is healable. It would then regen slowly back to max limit.. The only thing that will cause healabe damage is DAMAGE not some stupid warcry/tumble/pet-trick deal. They should just rename Med Centers to "Tumble Centers" in 6 months I've never seen anyone go there except to look for tumblers.

Do these people pay attention to their own game, what the hell are we paying them for again, please remind me
