I'm currently MCarbine /MDoctor
However getting throuh buffs in pvp isn'tthe easiest thing to do in pvp with a carbine. About the only way i ahve to do any dmg is a fast carbine and hope to wear them down or scatter 2 and hope it hits the mind now and then.
My question is this:
Ive been pondering dropping the craft line of doc and picking up the knowledge line of CM and jsut buying my supplies.
With this setup how effective at range helaing will I be and also how effective will this line of CM be for me.
Should I not ever bother?
Im jsut looking to toss couple poisons/disease to help my carbine dmg along.
Thanks in advance
Doc 4440/Master Carb and CM 0003 is the max you could get to since that leaves you with 1 SP to spare. That will give you 50 Combat Medicine Use (CMU).
You would be limited to Class-A AE poisons (100ish tops without spider venom) and Class-B Single poisons (170ish tops without spider venom). The damage you would do with them would be the listed effectiveness with a 5% bonus and the range would be maxed at listed range + 5% bonus. If the meds are experimented for ease of use then you might be able to use higher level poison/diseases but the damage would suffer too much to remain efficient.
For heals you would be limited to Class-A AE Stims which average 47 CMU and can average from 200-400 base heals. Ranged Stims you would be limited to Class-C Ranged Stims with 47ish CMU but can be made to have heal bases of 400-800ish. Max range would be the listed range + a 5% bonus.
You may want to look over your template to see if you can surrender a point somewhere so you can at least max out the CM Support tree and gain +25 to CMU. This will let you use a wider variety of more powerful CM meds.

Its been awhile since I last leveled CH but if you have a +4 stored pets in your skill mod list that means you can only have four pets in your datapad right?
I think it is skillmode +2 .....as you can keep 2 as non-ch ....
My SkillMod is 20 .... but I have 22 pets... (correction)

Ohh.........darn and I thought id found a cool sploit
Master armorsmith
4000 Smuggler (for buying faction points for schematics plus the ability to pull a trigger and wear armor)
0300 Tailor (lets you make all the tailor components required for armor)
0004 Merchant (10 vendors with a total of 1750 items on them)
4444 Artisan (for all the crafting prereqs and surveying)
In merchant, you might want to go up the hiring tree and make some nice vendors for your shop (Hiring 4 lets you put clothing and armor on them). Then drop all of hiring (your vendors will be fine) and go up to advertising 3 and list your vendors on the planetary map (some people will say this is useless now that we have the vendor search, but I still think it's nice). You can then drop the entire advertising line, and your vendors will stay registered.
I use one vendor for each of the three types of armor plus one more for PSGs. I also use one in my workshop for storage. Some people have vendors for faction armor or for special orders.
Master Armorsmith
Master Artisan (You can make the two PSG components this prof makes)
4000 Smuggler
0004 Merchant
and have 14 points left to play with, which I'd use to go up and down the merchant trees, say getting 3004 to list my vendors, then 0043 to dress them up, then going back to 0004 merchant and 4300 smuggler just to play with slicing a bit.
Or
Master Armorsmith
4044 Artisan (Get someone else to make PSG components)
4400 Smuggler (More combat level and the ability to do some nice slices)
And have 18 skill points to play with. You could go 4440 smuggler for a bit more offense. Or pick up novice scout and a box of hunting to accompany groups on hide gathering expeditions. Or go 0404 merchant so you can get another vendor, place merchant tents, and get a 20% discount on all structure maintenance.
Those 18 skill points would be a lot of fun. You could constantly drop and pick up helpful skills as you need them. Stay at 4000 smuggler and you'd have 32 free skill points.
