Open Science Viral Infection: A DoT spreading mechanic for Combat Medics

What is Viral Infection?

Viral Infection (Requires Master Combat Medic) is a new ability that improves Infect. I know this ability was feared in the past due to the Battle Fatigue mechanic but now that is gone, and Infect remains the ever unpopular ability.

How does it Work?

The idea is simple, think of it like a reverse Bacta Spray that spreads DoTs or even Debuffs MEDICINE to those that stand near the patient; but only at half duration. This punishes people who want to hug each other, a common thing seen these days.

Why should we do this?

N-now I assure you I am a trained professional! The reason is very simple. Before the recent patch combat was very slow, much slower than it is now and damage over time effects were always applied, they had no resistance. This is no longer the case. In-fact with items like the Mustafarian Injector and other buffs it is much harder to apply our much needed cures.

But that's not all!

Combat is a lot faster than it was before! So much faster that fights are swingy, quick, and brutal. Combat Medic DoTs never had a place in group PvP, and now with all of these changes they are in a pretty weird spot, one I would like to help mend.

Why do I do this?

You see I am a Doctor, these people are sick, and I am the cure. We must save them you see, all of them.
