Lamo To anyone who believes this mush....
This is such Hogwash. The doc profession is dying because of the ungratefulness of the teams. Fixers and agents running ahead and looting all the good loot to keep. Enforcers rushing docs when its their turn to loot. Ingrates attacking multiple mobs thus drawing extra agro. People opening chests that explode or release adds upon opening. These are the reasons why docs dont stick around and why they chose other professions. Docs should be held with the highest regard, they keep you leveling and looting so if you want the benefit treat em right.
I was in a team the other night with my doc. We entered the mission and within moments loot started flying off the screen as chests were open, mobs were looted, etc. Within 15 minutes, teammates inventories were nearly full and I only had one looted item (defender shotgun) to show for my adventure. The problem with docs is individual selfishness, not their own shallowness. We all need each other, but there are either too many 3 year olds playing the game or no respect for being one of the few teams to have a doc.
I'll give you a secret. You want a doc that sticks with you through thick and thin. Who joins your team everynight and helps you through to level 200. "Take Care of them !" Thats the secret. Give them stuff that might be of value to them. Let them loot first or near the top. Seek their input on things during the mission. Thank them for saving your "*(#". Then you'll truly benefit from the experience as opposed to being on one of those lamo, selfish teams that never can figure out why the doc left or why they can't get a doc to join their team.
Think about it!
I am not a forum reader...
Been playin my doctor since beta... first, best, and favorite...
I LOVED the sarcasm... what a way to get a point across. The saddest part is that at least half of those things happen to me on a regular basis.
I'm sure enforcers/tanks could tell some tales about teams that refuse to follow their lead, hotshots that thought 'taking the agro away from the enforcer' was actually a good thing...
That's my favorite - the squishy agents that get agro of a RM with a big bat and then sputter at the DOC when they get beaten to a bloody pulp.
Sigh... now we have an entirely new paradigm to learn... shadowlands where CH is like mongo on speed... PLEASE - write a shadowlands version of this =)

OH and I forgot to mention this...
SECURITY CAMERAS!
For all out there who want your doc to feel REALLY special... Make sure that when you are doin a mission at least 60-70 levels above you and you see a security camera... make absolutely SURE that the whole team runs in the room and spawns as many sentries as possible... then make sure the whole team is hitting the SAME one.
With the first heal... team or target... all the undamaged sentries will automatically agro your doctor. The stun effect is the best part of this because that makes sure the dumb doc is unable to defend herself - and she's gonna get a real charge out of trying to run additional heals between the stun spam of all 5 remaining sentries... but it gets better ;D
If you're doctor can run Complete Heal she'll get at least ONE and maybe TWO CH's on herself before she hits the floor dead giving the rest of the team long enough to kill the rest of those adorable little metal balls.
OHHHHHHH - on the odd chance that you havent managed to hit, much less kill, any sentries before your doctor dies... and if you've also got a fixer with an insta-cast team grid... make absolutely sure the fixer runs it AFTER the doctor has announced her arrival at the reclaim booth. You wouldnt want to deprive your doctor of the honor of having the largest lost experience pool on the planet.... that would be CRUEL!
