I've found that my Hammer Shot heals for two or three times what Field Aid heals. Also, my guild and I just got server second clear of hard mode EC, without using the out-of-combat rez, so the first legitimate clear of hardmode EC on our server. Combat medics may have taken a hit in 1.2, but they're still goddamn viable.

As a rakata-geared combat medic who's starting to get black hole mark-1 and campaign gear, I've seen that the a lof of the black hole med-tech gear is itemized for alacricity, a stat that I think is becoming increasingly subpar. I've noticed that a lot of the black hole/campaign commando dps gear is somewhat better itemized for healers, with outright more aim and less endurance. In either case, I recommend checking it out, and possibly replacing your gear with it as long as you have enough pieces to retain the set bonus. Thoughts?
