Thread: Medic 0020 or pistols 0004?
I have the same template as yours. With good Stim-D's, ruby bliel and proper use of food, equipment and buffs I have never had need of Medic skills - even against boss marks.
However, I have found Stopping Shot to be extremely useful not only against bounty marks but in all combat. When you meet a mark that likes to use Charge Shot on you, you'll be glad you can root him. When a critter is coming after you, you'll be glad you can stop it in its tracks and finish it off before it gets to you. And unlike the Smuggler root, Stopping Shot does not break when the target takes damage. Used properly, both roots will let you control multiple mobs more effectively.
My verdict? Keep Stopping Shot - get better stims and use the right foods. You can put more states on your target than a map of New England, used properly you can really minimize the amount of damage a target can do unto you.
