Medic Archive

If you're taking any type of damage other than blaster then you're probably not quite playing the class right. Ubese is for melee, Chitin is a hodge podge armor, bone armor and mabari are stuff you give away to players who just started the game. As a medic you either want no armor at all or fully padded armor with no helm. When to use what --- soloing use the padded armor, when in a group you may consider not wearing armor at all, instead get someone to make you a fashionable outfit.

I see a lot of people saying use a pistol --- what for? You're not there to do the dps. When you're getting your gun off you take longer to heal. Pistols can be well fast but that's of no use in a big group that's relying on you to heal. The only beneficial weapon for a combat medic is the carbine. It can knock a mob to kneeling or prone. All pistols and rifles do are damage. Knocking a mob down, then peacing out and healing is a boon. If you keep it knocked down you don't need to heal. Blasting away while people drop dead around you isn't really the calling of a medic.

Lastly, get a surgical droid. Make stimpacks and woundpacks before heading out. Don't be one of the rejects who has to wait for a camp to be made and then /tendwound <damage>as the group waits for you for 20 mins while you heal superficial wounds. Woundpacks take very little mind, /tendwound takes a lot.
