i don't see why bringing back a person from an early death is the same as making them live forever.
and why wouldn't it be the same as force cpr? use the force to stimulate the heart to start beating again., if i were a jedi and there were a force thats how i'd do it. or maybe just use some electric shocks to /forcedefibrulate.
it doesn't need to have some bg quasi-spiritual connotation to it.
if a robot arm can bring you back to life, why can't you use the force the same way? i believe the descriptiono n the robot arm is just that it sends a big jolt of electricity to bring you back to life, seems like the same concept.
/forcerevive
see the healer put their hand 1 foot above the corpsified teammate, a few jolts of lightning, and presto changeo: "your grogginess will wear off momentarily"





the point is that there are a few things which are taboo in the Star Wars world. Force resurrection is one of them, no matter how closely you try to relate it to CPR.

Anakin fell to the darkside because his pride led him to believe he could have power over death. In this game, in order to be revived, you must be a corpse. A Jedi reviving a corpse is off limits.

I'm sure that if a memo from SWG went across george lucas' desk with the words "new skill /forcerevive" on the top he would spend all of two seconds reading it before skyhooking it into the trash.

couldn't have said it better so.. QFE. Jedi should definitely NOT get buffs and rez. You want rez? Want some buffs? Get a doc or CM with you. I can't be a swordsman/doc/CM/rifleman/tkm/BH/dancer/weaponsmith, as useful as that would be, that's why there's other professions and this is a MULTI-PLAYER game.

dude! i'm not a dude nor stupid, and i actually picked a bunch of random professions... aside from doc and cm, which i put there deliberately for obvious reasons. are jedi dancers either? pfft. and craftin prof or not, y'all can still make your own weapons which is more than i can say for anyone besides... a weaponsmith.

when a doctor defibrulates someone back to life, it isn't a miracle, and if a jedi were to do the same, it wouldn't be wrong imo, but w/e


I'd agree with you if you were right

The point of healer is to HEAL, not buff. Why ppl think healer should get the abliity to buff is beyond me. The rez ability at master isn't a bad idea though.....

I'm not a Healer myself (beyond my 4000 dabble), so take this with a grain of salt. In a former SWG life I was a Master Doctor (pre-CU) and Master CM (post-CU).

My opinion is the Master Healer should be able to Rez and should be granted some defensive bonuses.

I'm not sure about Buffs, though. I think buffs should be the exclusive domain of Doctor and Enhancer.

I know, the padawan braid comment kinda gave that away. However I'm in an argumentative mood. Why else would i be posting on the jedi forums?

Buffs have always been doc exclusive. Maybe healer should get force pool regen or max buffs. That would make me take another line of healer. Rez at master sure. I'd even go for another non master heal if youu couldnt do it while kd. As far as defensive mods go, doc costs alot more skill pts, therefor its earned.

Please do not generalize Progettista, I am a Pre-Cu jedi and I NEVER used grenades.

I have been in spin groups to get exp, but that was only about 10% of my exp gained as a jedi, the rest i got in regular groups.

Rez would make it very unbalanced. Jedihave the most defenses against damage than any other prof. Giving them rez would just make fights last for ever as he can just do nothing but go around and rez.



But jedi also cannot wear armor. It's a proven fact that a Master Defender has less defence then a good suit of Battle armor(never mind Energy capped Recon). Yes master defenders have valor, Healer definatly needs some loving in this game. You can tell that by the simple fact that look at what professions 99% of jedi are.
I would say probably 70% of jedi are master defenders, 75% are master Sabers, 30-40% are Enhancers, 15% or so are powers. and probably only 2% are master healers.(i know these numbers dont' add up to 100%, that is because you can master both defender and sabers for example.)

Those would just be my estimates from what i've seen in combat

I'm only 4000 healer myself (like most people), so this isnt out of personal bias. But healer is most certainly the least used proffession available to us. And the reason is simply that healer overal gives less ability / benefit then a doctor or CMwould get.



Master doctor:


2 methods of damage healing (Bacta shot, Bacta jab)


1 Heal over time (bacta infusion)


Wound healing


Drag skill (often overlooked but VERY useful in mass pvp)


Can clear states and effects(stabilizers, bandage, countertoxin, extinguish fire, disinfect)


Can give 6 types of buffs


Can rez at master


Gains defensive mods (50 melee/ranged)


And for a measly 5 skill points, a doctor can have bacta toss, and a few points more give an area heal.








Master Healer:


2 methods of damage healing (force heal, total heal)


1 Heal over time (force infusion)


Can heal while KD


Wound healing


Can clear states and effects (heal states, stop bleeding, cure poison, cure disease, force extinguish)


2 debuff skills (sap, shock)


has the ability to go master sabers or master defender



No buffs - try going enhancer that has force speed


No rez ability - thank god, I see jedi following a religion more than being able to perform open heart surgery etc as per my vioson of doctors


No defensive mods - Hey perhaps you should go pick up some defender


No options to grow beyond this skillset as far as healing is concerned - why would you need to? Jedi being unseen, solo, wandering monk types of guys /chortle





Now, Im not of the mindset that the healing tree should get defensive mods (thats what defender is for). However it's pretty clear to me that giving the healer trees some sort of doc-style buffs, and master healer getting a rezzing ability makes a lot of sense to putting jedi healing on par with the other healing proffessions and would increase the number of jedi healers in use. I know there are lots of people who want to play the jedi healer role, but do not because the skillset isnt very functional. - So go master healer master doctor


Anywho theres my data and my idea, post your responses, questions, concerns, poetry and what not if you wish


P.S I think master sabers should be able to harvest creatures like a ranger too cause they can kill things
