Hi,
I have a question that I´ve been pondering about.
Why do so many combat-characters dabble in medic?
I´m a TKM, MHS, MB, Fencer 3-4-4-0 and the only time I need healing is when my mind has went down, which only combat-medics can heal. If your avatar is buffed and use a 90% armor I don´t see the reason for novice medic, since if you use a stimpack your mind will drain further.
What´s your opinion? Please don´t flame me if I´m wrong, but I´d like to know.
The main reason for this is that back in the old days, not everyone was walking around in full composite, buffed to the gills. You know, back in the days when things were fun. The combination of killer buffs and killer armour pretty much ruined PvE in this game. Now, red con means nothing. Any novice elite combat profession can sit there for the 10 -30 minutes it takes to kill the toughest creatures, without really worrying about it. Most dont even need to be at the keyboard.
And with your little FOTM defence stacker, do you even get hit?

Hello Zarkam,
Maybe they get medic for healing themselves after combat?
Some players are tired of waiting/getting ignored by the healers in the med centers. With Novice Medic, they can at least use Wound Pack Bs to heal their own wounds. This ability is more crucial in Taverns (like in the Dantooine Mining Outpost) since I don't believe any slow, incremental healing happens in it (like in Med Centers).
When I was climbing up the Medic tree andhanging out at the Tavern,I noticed that there is a prevalent attitude among the players that they DON'T expect the doctors or medics to heal them (even if they have their tag up) so they end up taking matters in their own hands and healing themselves. It was suprising to them that I would walk up and heal them--which was a good thing for me since I got a lot tips.
