The Medic profession in SWG Nexus forms the core of medical GAMEPLAY, blending Pre-CU's intricate crafting and wound management, CU's balanced healing efficiency, and NGE's accessible combat support. With the reintroduction of the Mind pool, Wounds, and Battle Fatigue, Medics provide essential healing, wound treatment, and foundational components for advanced medical professions. This role is perfect for players building toward Combat Medic, Doctor, or Bio-Engineer while mastering basic field medicine.
Overview
As a Medic, you gain the ability to heal combat injuries, stabilize patients, and craft basic medical supplies. Progression through the skill tree unlocks advanced crafting schematics, healing commands, and support abilities. This profession emphasizes strategic resource use, efficient group healing, and quick application in dynamic scenarios. Medics can treat Health and Action wounds, reduce Battle Fatigue, and prepare components vital for higher-tier items.

Tips
- Choose Any Race, Focus on Mind Stats: Your starting race choice is permanent and critical, as healing relies heavily on Mind stats (Wisdom, Precision, Agility) and Stamina for endurance. For a pure medic, prioritize races like Zabrak or Mon Calamari to maximize healing output and mind efficiency. Twi’lek is a strong hybrid choice if pairing with entertainers.
- Start with Artisan for Resources: Begin with Novice Artisan to survey and harvest organics and inorganics for crafting. Use a survey tool in resource-rich areas like Naboo plains to gather high-quality resources (e.g., wild rice with 80%+ Overall Quality) for Stimpack As.
- Understand HAM Bars: HAM bars (Health, Action, Mind) track vital stats—red for Health, green for Action, blue for Mind. Damage (white) heals with rest or stimpacks, while wounds (black) need specific treatment.
- Wound Healing Requires Specific Locations: Heal wounds (black HAM) at medical centers, scout camps, or certain player buildings. Craft wound medpacks (e.g., Health Wound A) and hotkey /healwound . Use /find medicalcenter, request entertainers in camps for Mind support, and rest in centers to heal passively while crafting.
- Use High-Quality Resources: High Overall Quality (OQ) resources (80%+) boost medicine potency.
- Craft Biological Effect Controllers for XP: Craft Biological Effect Controllers (BECs, 6 organics, 6 inorganics) to grind Organic Chemistry I quickly. Craft near cantinas while healing entertainers for dual XP.
- Follow the Tank: Stay within 6m of the tank (e.g., Brawler) using /follow, healing with stimpacks to extend group survival. Hotkey /assist for combat XP without aggro. Craft stims while following, pausing in combat, and coordinate via tells for low HAM alerts.
