Thread: Best combat skill for medic?
I've got to Novice Doc very quickly, thanks to 3 or 4 Squill Cave missions (& how sick of that place am I 
). Feels almost like an exploit, gaining XP so quickly.
However, I find that I have to totally avoid combat to be most effective ... if I start shooting (with my less than awesome CDEF) I end up getting incapped, &, more importantly, it slows down the rate at which I can cast heals so that pretty soon everyone gets incapped or worse.
If I am last man standing, I feel obliged to start fighting just to join the crowd
Thing is, there are times, when the other players are strong enough, or there's another healer nearby, that I'd like to join in the agro. I'm also starting to feel a little bad about not taking so much risk as the other group members. Plus, I am sometimes targetted, & dragged into the scrum regardless, & would like to be able to survive long enough for someone to bail me out !
So, given that I'm also doing Artisan (a little short of master & my sppedbike), so am low on skill points, what is the best combat tree for a medic? Is it Unarmed, as that is best for avoiding damage?
What do you think?
