Medic Archive

So i just became a Medic on Cobantis and as we all notice our mind pools drain why too fast with no way to recover in a quick matter. So my idea is, why not make an aquired skill of a Medic (at like first aid 3 or 4) called metation. So you use metation in a camp or hospital and now your mind pool increases at a faster rate between heals. So my example would be i recovery 7 mind pool untis normal, well during metation i will recovery 14 instead. Then at doctor you can make a lvl 2 of this skill making it like 21 points recovered. That way we medics can be more effiecent and be able to do our job instead of taking for ever to get our mind back after battle, and handling overloads at the hospital. So this is my idea, if you like please post that, cause as you all know, the Devs watch these and the more post, the better chance it has of being recongizes and making it to the game. Sorry if this idea has already been posted, i couldnt find it, so i made a new thread.

I think your asking a bit much...so not only do we get to heal health and action of ourselves and others, you want to now regenerate mind faster?

That would be overpowering...the whole point is we sacrifice mind to heal health and action.

If you find you are regening mind to slowly try these options, use mind spice from a smuggler or stat migrate to have more willpower...

As much as i would love something to help regen mind faster, you have to think about class balance...

The only way i could see this working is to make meditate drain something like creating mind wounds. Something like pushing urself hard to get mind back, but at the expensive of increased mental trama...so for a quick boost in mind regen you sacrifice your mental well being a bit...so in a pinch, you can get hard core mind regen but at the expense of wounds...you would also have to make it so you could do nothing during the meditation like heal or anything or the mediation would break...

All in all, its a matter of class balance...if we could heal mind damage or increase mind regen, it would overpower our class...

I am a pistoller and a medic. When I am out fighting I will hunt until my mind pool is too low to heal anymore. Then I make a camp and get naked. I take off all my armor because it has mind encumbrance. I rejuvinate much faster. Most of the time, I use my probot to tank the dmg and I hunt in my underwear and only wear my armor when I am traveling in hostile territory, doing pvp, or being seen in a public place. I can hunt till the probot is almost dead and use much more actions to kill faster without worrying so much about running out of my mind pool.

I never wear the helmet of my chitin armor even in PvP..its just too much cost to deal with...id rather riskheavt minddamagethen burn out of mind killing my grp...

Darkangelus, the problems with mind consumption only last until you hit Organic Chemistry 1, at that point using Medpacks uses a LOT less Mind than Wound Tending. I had the same problem when I first started out but now that I'm at Organic Chemistry 3, it's not even a problem unless I'm in a small group fighting a tough NPC that maybe heals itself (such as Imp or Reb Medics). Otherwise if u just sit the hospital the problem never occurs at all from I've seen.

BTW, for all you Medics that are participating in the GCW and may or not be partly combat-oriented, NEVER turn down a large raid if yur a Medic/Doctor full of Stims A and up (I had quite a few Bs), the xp is MASSIVE, last night on Kettemoor, we raided Bestine and then defended Anchorhead and I managed to make FA and Diag 3.

Anyways, good luck to ya all.

PS: just one question: Who here uses Harvesters for ressources?
