Why do I bother debating things with people in Galaxies forums?

I don't know... what did you say?

I got into a discussion about the Medic DoT potency and duration boxes being broken. Talked about my spec, gave some examples of how well it was working, suggested that they were weaker and more expensive than Commando or Spy because medic is a support class.

Got responses about how Medic is supposed to be a tank (since when?), how we shouldn't have to pay Expertise points for something another class gets for free, and other similar nonsense.

hahah yea that is pretty silly. A medic is supposed to be a support class, unless you go towards the combat side, but even then. Being able to throw the debuffs I don't think I like how much action it just sucks up. You just have to play the class right, and in high tense situations you lay off the debuffs stay back and heal. I think it wouldn't be so bad if the timer, and the action costs maybe were reduced a tad for the heal side of it. But that's how I play my character usually.

I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed that the one arguing that Medic is supposed to be a tank was the MEDIC SENATOR. *beats head on desk*

Geez haha that is sad...

Well i was in an insta one day AM (the nightsister one) and we were up to the 3rd guy but all of us but the medic died and the medic had agro the medic was tanking that guy for along time almost solo her all the way down so if you are speced right and have the right equipment you could do it.

"Could" and "Should" are two very different stories. People in the forums behave light it's each profession's sovereign right to be both tank and nuker, "RIGHT !*&@^! NOW!".

That way lies Pre-CU days, where a duel could last for 45 minutes.

yeah true

Also you may notice im suppose to be in DC well i am where i am the have a pc

It's interesting the number of Medics who actually tank. I have already met a few, and that was about the time I decided that I was never going to be the Medic I once was, support, and be considered any good. Then Boh and I spoke, and come to find out, a lot of folks really don't appreciate Medics trying to tank, because it generally means they aren't paying attention to healing.

I have great memories of going into HK-47 and being told by my firends, "okay, Sedeia... no fighting right now!" and later on, "okay, now you can shoot!" I much prefer support, and if I let my character do her thing, she does too..
