Okay...I'm new to medic. I just decided to pick it up and try it out on my main. The fact that medical people can't heal mind disturbs me. I see 0 point in it. I understand that Entertainers have the market on healing mind wounds, and that's their reasoning for us not being able to heal them, but shouldn't we at least be able to heal mind damage?


Have any devs given a reasonable explanation for this. Frankly I don't see why medical professions shouldn't be able to heal everything but battle fatigue. Just curious if anyone knows of any comments devs have made about this.


Other than that, I think medicine is pretty good in this game, I'm fairly impressed with how it's designed.

I don't really know where i stand on this.There are very compelling arguments to either side of the debate. But i don't think i would personally enjoy performing neurosurgery with a rancor bearing down on me and my patient.

The simple answer that a DEV would give. No one can be allowed to heal mind damge because that is the pool that is used to fuel the ability to heal. Thus, witha poorly balanced ability, you could have a sisuation where a medic heals someone for xp, with no need to rest.


I'm not saying I agree or disagree with them on this, but a general rule of game design is if someone can damage it there should be a way to heal it.
