Rifleman Archive

okay, I'm posting this here so that I don't get flamed into oblivion... I was considering doing a CH/ combat medic combo (thought the mind poisions would help rifle damage nicely) and decided to hop over to the combat medic forum for a look. Apparently, one of their "top 5 issuues" is not being able to heal mind damage.... is it just me, or is that...well... a REALLY stupid idea.

Doesn't healing COST mind damage to do? if a master medic/combat medic/doctor, can heal 1000 mind damage (or whatever) for only 50 mind damage wouldn't that um.... make them invincible and able to do virtually unlimited heals?

Has anyone seen a dev response on this? I'm curious to know cause it would be a heavy blow to our profession.

i do not think it would go through - medics are meant to heal action/health. entertainers for mind.

.. and no one wants to see a rifleman/medic combo where they can just keep railing off their specials. that would be nerftastic.

I'm pretty sure in old dev discussions this was the exact reason they made mind damage unhealable. With the way healing works now it would make medics be able to effectively have unlimited pools. Its too big of a design problem to just give medics mind heals.

yeah that's kinda what I was thinking. I think the only way this would ever happen is if a medic could only heal someone ELSE's mind damage. otherwise, you'd actually just be making mind damage people stronger...
