I am MCM and MBH and am either goiing Carbs 0400 or Rifles 4000 (any advice on that would be nice too), this is a new template but have been a BH for a while. Iam looking for some advice on tactics you other MCM's use against jedi. What specials you use, when you use them, foods, do you stack all the DOT's right away or do you hold out for a good paralyze, do you fight toe to toe and heal or do you kite and use electrolyte drain, etc.
Thanks in advance.
my opinion 4xxx doc/mbh/mrifles is a much better combo. with uber heals it takesquite a long time for somebody to bring u down, even if they can

this template is not even possible--most you can get is novice doc if you plan to keep masters in both rifle and bh
before you could almost tank the jedi but now that you have to worry about MLS hard hits you MUST take advantage of range.
i like to paralyze as my first move--gives you 15 seconds to add 2 debuffs then get away --i add traumatize and thyroid rupture as my first two debuffs ---i move away and add dots--at this point your mind is at least 2/3 so you need to start using your bh specials to add damage and let your mind regen, also good to apply your states like blind dizzy stun since they will alter his accuracy and damage output
make sure you armor is sliced for armor break reduction btw
if your jedi saps you--take some mandolarian wine and booster blue to counteract the debuff.
use your heals as normal but SAVE your ruby biel/ stim D for when he knocks you down
also keep your distance! root snare and kd time permiting
if he roots you--make sure you have duelist stance activated--i personally am not a fan of looping macros because i find if you get kd , these looping macros can bug you so you cant knockdown recover while kd
now its just patience--make sure traumatize and thyroid rupture is always on, since i find mind is the critical factor now for jedi compared to action pre Pub19
hope this helps

DoT stands for Damage over Time. For example, Deuterium Fire is a DoT thatcauses fire damage over a given time period. So for each 'tick' during the time that the DoT is applied, it will do a given amount of damage.Nota very large amount of damage either, as MCM it usually adds for me an extra 200-300 damage each tick.
The Chemical Warfare tree is the line with the DoT attacks which can also be applied at range (30m max if I recall correctly) and in that line you get 2 DoT attacks...Deuterium Fire and Neurotoxin (Poison). Since you are a pistoleer as well and will be close to the range in which to apply these, if you want some extra damage in your attack,I would suggest this line.
The Biological Warfare tree has debuffs in it, specifically Thyroid Rupture (attack speed debuff) and Electrolyte Drain (movement speed debuff) and the Paralyze skill which is a Mez that breaks upon attack. These skils need to be applied at melee range, so 10m or less, but can assist in controlling the fight from your side. They don't do any damage themselves but can assist in keeping targets at range.
Both lines are good, it really depends on what you perceive your particular needs are, or what types of skills you would like to add to your template.
