The other four Defiance characters have their Infinity profiles made public. I wonder though how is dr. Rahman Rouhani going to look like. The problem I see is that we have an abundance of doctors already. It is going to be difficult to make one interesting (Akbar Doc being an obvious idea, but seems CB aren't willing to spoil us with loads of these!). ...apart from apparently being Tarik MANsuri's doc of choice, of course* :P Spoiler: [SIZE=3]*okay, okay, I admit, I'm having a bad case of puns there. Open at your own risk... See, Rouhani is a proper, good Persian name - current president of Iran is Hassan Rouhani. However, it is all too easy for a Polish-speaker to mispronounce it as "Ruchani", a slang word that can mean (in third person plural form) "being haven sex with", or "being tricked / swindled". So, essentially, doctor Rahman Screwed...[/SIZE]
I'm waiting for WiP 15 Akbar Doctor. Rest isn't that important - for me he even can be unarmed, having only Flash Pulse and Stun Pistol. And low cost of course ;) I really like his mini and think that he would look even better with a silenced pistol in his hands ;) Maybe I'll convert mine (hopefully I'll get him). And he should have personalized Nasmat, maybe with better speed and Multiterrain ? ;) PozdRawiam / Greetings
He's got a great pose for a sidearm, though I wish he was wielding an actual pistol, rather than the medikit. I'm also curious to see what sets him apart from other Doctors.
I think CB will not think in hard way and give him impvoved Ghulam profile with Acbar doc/Doc+ and medjector.
He looks a lot like a Zhayedan...apart from that great Mini. I hope there will be a non KS one available.
Someone said that heis based on Ghulam? If that so, then he might have 15 wip and 12PH, and medjector. I would love to see Akbar on him, but after Hakims and RTF i am holding my expectations low. With the abundance of all kinds of Docs, forward ones, tanky ones, mimetic ones, i would like to see cheaper Akbar in 20-24pts range. I dont think i would pick any other doc in vanilla ever with this solution. Oh god, i didnt even noticed. Thanks.
It must be akbar doc for some reasons. 1: ghulam 16 points 2: hakim 23 points (we can deploy him insite deployment zone) 3: Jenissar 41 points Why we don't have more akbar docs? don't understand, Is our HI OP? if he is a Zhayedan he would cost about 25-30 (must be linkable or wild card) The point in this is where can we put him if he is just medic plus? We got this 3 perfect medics that would do the same work. (And I'm not talking about kawarij medic or zheyedan medic or the others that we have) The other DEFIANCE porfiles are at least playable, lets see what CB is going to give us (And what is going to give to Aleph... Last time aleph got dart, just saying shhh)
I'm 95% sure there will be. The only question being, when. I mean, they have a profile, and they have a sculpt (even if they aren't going to use a different sculpt than the Defiance one). Cast some more of it, pack into blisters and sell to those of us who won't be buying into the Definace. Pure profit, & a no-brainer for the CB, methinks. There are going to be quite a few customers for that (and the other characters, too, for other factions), it would be a sin to not take the money those people are eager to spend!
Does Haqqislam need another doctor? I think not, but I am no Haqqislam player. I think his profile will sit (like the other heroes) between the chairs, something, that might be useful but not neccesary needed. The pose with the aiming medikit-pistol looks cool (if it where a normal pistol, like most medikit poses) but a haqqislam doc will very rarely use his medkit like this. Compared with the exclusive mini in the paint set he looks more action like, but it is the fifth guhlam-doc mini (okay, if he is based on a guhlam) ... hello doc-link. It would be nice and unique, if he could get his personal Nasmat with some cool gimmicks like.
Nah, doesn't need to be busted, just needs to be different. Another Akbar doc without having to pay an HI premium (41 points!) would be nice. He could be WIP 14 if the price is right, but I can't imagine they will make him less than WIP 15. Maybe give him one of those fancy Medijectors too.
You know, i get it. But would it kill CB to think outside of the box just a tad bit more on their new character here ( i get that we dont know his rules yet, but im a bit worried and want to rant a little. just for fun). Like we get it Haqq is the doctor faction, but you know what else we are, the assassin faction, and the supersoldier faction, and the faction with unique LI variants, and with asymmetric trading, and the shell games, and irregular desert dwellers, and so on. The rest of the heroes come from unique backgrounds and have interesting variant armors and equipment. Also while they may not be auto includes in lists, they seem quite unique and different so far. A wulver character that is even more of a cc blender, a solid zuyong variant with good fire support and leadership options, a mobile and stealthy nisse that replaces msv with a different type of ammunition for literally any type of situation, and a cheap and flexible hacker aguacile? with rem buddy, but its a repeater, with remote presence, flash pulse, and e-maulers. A cheap akbar doc with wildcard would be extremely useful, but boring to me. They listed biotech combat as an option, maybe he will have some cc ability too? Id like to see him be a supersoldier with Ramah if possible and have Gaspar be unique too since hes one of the best looking S1 rems ive seen so far. Im just afraid of a boring doctor role for him.
Are you new around here? ;) I'm just grumpy we'll have to wait days to see what he's supposed to do. Although the model is the best part.
I agree with @Agorapocalypse regarding the fact that a new Haqqislam doctor is kinda boring. I'd rather see a unique variation of a Bashi Bazouk or maybe a Kaplan/Janissary officer. I also hope that this new doc would have some CC abilities, maybe even a monofilament blade, like with cube jaegers, but this one will actually have skills to swing it properly like NBW or something. The profile would become less focused because of that, sure, but a cheap pure WIP 15 akbar doctor would make other doctor options in Haqqislam obsolete IMO. So he must cover some other areas unavailable to certain sectorials (QK, in particular, would benefit greatly from having a decent CC model, for example).
@AssaultUnicorn, don't get your hopes up. From what we're seeing the characters in question aren't actually very customized (with Nomad one being the best for now, as usual ) Best thing to hope for is that they'll base him on a Muyib
The most thought-out. Qiang is a HI with Veteran and HMG, not bad, but certainly nothing new. Uma has her uses, but is plagued by the old-style PanO design philosophy and high cost. Cadin is basically a bit more stabby Wulver. Jazz reminds me a bit of Bit&Kiss, cheap yet good hacker with her own Repeater net.
Yes, I don't disagree. The SMG opens up 5 points for other goodies and they are all well spent. Yes, a bit like Bit&Kiss, different, but comparable.
