Rifle, Pistol or Carbine and why?

I went with pistol for a few reasons. I solo missions and Pistol has the best penalty versus melee(1.1 times dmg). Pistols are typically fast so if you are healing and using specials your combat queue doesn't get too backed up. This is important because our heals actually go into the combat queue even though we don't see them listed.

pistols are overpowered atm, I suspect they'll get an 'adjustment' in the near future (adjustment in how it performs at long range). But yes, pistol should be the weapon of choice for a CM, it's the fastest and that's good for healing people.

Depends, each have advantages. I have Rifle and can headshot for 2K, great for PvsP 1 shot kills. But, it has a longer reset so I cant heal as fast after its use. If I had to choose I would go pistol myself. They get nice abilities and they are faster so you can heal more effectively while fighting. Try one and if you dont like it, move to the next thats the best part.

Pistola.

Shoots fast, so you can heal more.

I don't have ANY pistol-skill. So I just find a good weapon-smith and say. Make me the a CDEF with the most power and refire-speed. Don't sweat the HAM-cost, because I don't have any specials anyway.

I use it like a damage add in group fights, and when soloing, I use it to fire warning-shot.

Pistol makes a lot of sense if you're not taking any specific weapon-skills.

pistol all the way. the speed lets me queue up heals QUICK which is very necessary with the current pace of pvp and pvm when hunting really tough game. also by the time you're a master pistoleer you get ranged and melee knockdowns, a multi target shot, a disarming shot, and a posture down attack. pistoleer is the way to go

Pistol or carbine...Rifles are doable but not really effective IMHO

doctor is hand downs pistol...

Here's why...

Healing takes a combat action...the slower you will attack the longer between heals, hence slow carbines and rifles are out.

pistol (unless uus a dh17 ithink it is) will allow you to run and heal. Given that CMs stop to throw ranged stims and we can heal at range, this is less of an issue. As a doctor, stopping the run to attack can mean the difference in saving someone's life. Granted, as CM the stopping while running isnt huge issue. but considering that we will be most out of LOS while healing and poisoning, when you do peek your head out to shoot u will definately not wanna stop running.

Rifles are best used prone. As we all know we can not heal while prone.

Rifles use Mind and given that we use mind to heal, this will sap your mind pool faster directly draining from your ability to heal.

Range. This is a concern that we have much less of considering doctors. Doctors need to get on the front line which will mean that the ranges involved will be much shorter than the ideal range of a rifle. Granted that Cms ranged stim will allow some to sit in the back of the pack and sniper while healing, its more viable for a CM then a Doctor.

But remember sometimes being in the middle of the pack is safer...you want to remain unnoticed in combat and with more people around u it is hard to actually click on you to target. on the other hand as a rifleman u will be prone and most likely apart from the group making u more easily targetable.

SO over all my suggestion is doctor? go pistol...CM? pistol and carbine

Well, I am already a Pistol Specialist, was just wonder in I should change weapons or not. Going to be both Master Doc and Master Combat Medic, sooner or later

Pistol. Typically lower HAM costs, faster fire and I just light how they look

Pistol or Carabine (because of the heal/poision delays - comparing to weapon delay), good rifles will slow your healing/poisioning down.

I went Carabine for Carabine AOE KnockDown + CM AOE Poision (when fixed), and because ST all carry them

Sorry had to

lol weeee another move u can spam...

why does SWG even bother trying to fix spamming..its obvious they dont want to...

if they did they would have put in timers not raised HAM costs...this is a joke...

My weapon of choice is Mind Poison, perferably behind an obstacle so I don't get shot back at.
