Medic Archive

Hello,

I do not post often but themedic community seems friendly and helpful so here goes... I have read many threads and am still a bit confused. I will have a total of 33 skill pints to spend on medic. I want to play PVE and PVP. I have read that I should either go 4-1-1-0 or 1-1-4-0. I have also read that FA 3 and Pharm 3 are the way to go. I went to the Character builder and also saw that I could go 3-0-3-0 with 33 points.

My questions are as follows...Why do people train the one point in Diagnostics? (The 4-1-1-0 or 1-1-4-0 builds). Should I go with4-1-1-0 or 1-1-4-0 or maybe 3-0-3-0 or something different?

Any help and or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to the medical community.

One more thing I forgot to mention which may help.....

I primarily solo so the medic skills I train will be used to heal myself mostly.

Thanks again.

I've long had medic skills to aid in my soloing, mostly at 4-3-3-0. Use powerful stim-c's that one shot heal me for 1k health (but can go as low as 450). Recently dropped to 3-3-3-0 and noticed a 200 hp loss in my heals on average.

SO... to use really good stim b's, all you need is 15 points as a novice medic. Thats the bare minimum, and you can do decent heals to yourself. However, you will be slow in combat heals. To use stim-Cs, you need at least 0-0-3-0 (30 med use i believe). Still slow to heal in combat, but post-combat its fine since you don't need fast heals.

I personally recommend- if you can spend the points- 4-3-3-0. It was my favorite medic build and good during combat. If not, then I would go 1-1-3-0 (for stim-cs) and then boost the speed line, or just stick with novice medic (15 points) if you want mainly heals after combat.

Those are not bad suggestions... I would usually advice someone to take 3/0/3/0. A 1 in the diagnostics column doesnt really offer any significant boost. But at FA 2 you get the ability to heal bleeds /firstaid. So I will stick to my first assesment... go 3/0/3/0, good heals, firstaid and you can use stim C's at 30 med use.
