ATM Im a master Doc, master CM, Master medic and looking to brach out into the Bio engineering field for a change.. Now I hear that getting to mater is a serious grind and I would rather get through it fast so i can enjoy the good stuff as a master.
So, my Q is, for DNA sampling, will I need a combat template to be able to defend myself upon aggro? Or is perma-buffs, and massive burst skill/terrain neg gonna be enough? Does it tend to be faster to grind if you have the ability to kill off the creatures that you sample so you can sample entire lairs?
thanks for any response

You don't need a combat profession. You need mask scent. You cannot sample fighting mobs. Get Exploration 4, some +maskscent clothes and Jawa Beer and maybe some travel biscuits for TN.
I am Chef/BE, some scout and medic. If a creature attacks or detects me i run up some hills or jump on my bike. Never died or got incapped.

Cool thanks =)
Btw, if I seriously grind at this, including afk macroing overnight and at work, how many hours to master?

There is no way to afk macro BE; you stop successfully sampling when your inventory is full of DNA and there is no afk crafting macro, unless you use a 3rd party programme, which is against the EULA.

I dont use 3rd party.... Macro grinding is easy enough. just takes lots of clicks.
But m really just wondering about the DNA line. Sucks that it cant be afk macro'd.
So how long will it take manually?

I am also going up sampling and have discovered if you take missions you can sample everything to death and make some money at the same time. You just have to be careful about attcking the lair, shoot it for about a second the stop wait a couple of seconds and try again eventually more creatures will spawn but if you are not actually attacking at the time they spawn they won't aggro you so you can just begin the samping.You will get the technique quickly,it takes a little longer but adds to fun (IMO) and you make some cash. When you get to 2 or three you can go to dant and take picket missions and get 9k a time alone which soon adds up as you need to do lots or em. I am on voritor dashers atm which are dangerous fellows but as i am also doing pistoleer and am in no rush i like killing em if they aggro.

I am master doc/master BE. I have never been any other profession
I use mask scent and have mask scent stat clothes. Now they have food for it too
I usually keep my bike near, and if i get aggro'd i run to the bike and hi tale it out of there 
Having a good set of ubese armor and being buffed helps allot. I have gotten away from almost everything in the game, except nightsisters. they have knocked my on my butt a couple times driving through. But then we dont sample nightsisters do we
