Medic Archive

I'm a brand spanking new Medic, only had a day or so in game, and I'm a wee bit confused by some of the abilities of our profession.

I've plowed through several "Medic Guides" on this and other sites, but am still left a bit puzzled just where heals can be performed and tends can't. So if you have a moment, please look over my below notes and chart. also please feel free to edit/correct any of its contend and repost it in a reply. I'm basically trying to come up with a chart that I can use, to graphically represent what skills achieve what results at what restriction or cost.

DAMAGE: is short term trauma. easily healed by the subject just by sitting or resting. Lets pretend its minor bruising and minor concussions.

WOUNDS: are long term trauma. Lets pretend its major bruising, bone breaks, severe lacerations and severe concussions.

HEAL: a heal can be performed anywhere.

TEND: may only be performed at a Medical Facility, a Camp or with the aid/presence of a Medical Droid.

Also I think I have figured a few things out regarding the 4 wound treatment abilities we have at out disposal. Please take a look and correct any mistakes, or fill in any blanks.

I'm sure the above table has errors, but that is what I am hoping other Senior Medical Professionals can help this lowly student understand.

Looks like there is no edit function to the posts. Sorry for speedy reply above. So the below chart is how I understand our Medical abilities now

So in a sence, the stock HEAL WOUND and TEND WOUND hotkeys are usless.

Since you really need 6 Heal wound keys and 6 Tend wound keys. One for each stat we as Medics can treat. Sounds like I will Be moving those to there own hotkey Bar.

Your "Effects White "Temp" Dam" line should be yes all the way accross.

Any and all healing function will cause damage to the mind

Ok, so this is how I understand it now. I am still looking for clarification and corrections to the info below. If possilble, especially to the chart below. Charts (personally) help me visuallize when to use which ability.

DAMAGE: is short term trauma. easily healed by the subject just by sitting or resting. Lets pretend its minor bruising and minor concussions.

WOUNDS: are long term trauma. Lets pretend its major bruising, bone breaks, severe lacerations and severe concussions.

HEAL: a heal can be performed anywhere, Only works when used in combination with Medical Supplies

TEND: may only be performed at a Medical Facility, a Camp or with the aid/presence of a Medical Droid. Do not require the use of Midical Supplies. However there use causes mental fatigue (mind dam) to the Medic.

Thank you for the feedback. So now the chart looks like this. I think this pretty much nails it all now.

ok, now here s the problem with making up your own terms to describe things.

Whats the difference between:

Heals Short-term "damage"...............

Effects White "Temp" Dam.................

At least 2 of those is being used to describe the same thing.....
