As an Ex-master pistoleer I was wondering why you chose Carbines?
and was also wondering what in your opinion is the best carbine weapon?

mastering both pistol and carbine is a great asset, because u can KD and u also have fairly good defenses in the pistol tree....and the counterattack and dodge combo is cool....when u use a KD with carbine u can counterattack and when u use pistol's u can dodge and have melee defense and D Vs. XX...i would go master cabineer and master pistols

Greetings, my friends. I'm about to hit Master Medic, and I want to continue in the medical profession. I'm not trying to be another FoTM profession type, so I want some real valuable input. I'm a combatant/crafting player, TKM/Rifleman/Master Chef, and I dropped chef so i could resume medic. Now, my question is this - should I go doctor or combat medic? I won't be able to advance fully in either profession, but I need one that's a good support profession to match with TKM and Rifleman, and I'm guessing that either CM or doc is very handy when soloing. So please let me know your opinions.
Thanks!

You may want to consider doctor to me, it's always been a little more dabbler friendly. CM in my opinion has fewer support options. With doctor, you can buff (even if smaller buffs because you're not master), cure status effects, revive, heal poison and disease. From a support standpoint, more options than CM. CM's area heal is preferred for raw stim usage but with the rediculous power of Stim B's, most people can handle their own for actual health and action heals so that really leaves you with some poisoning ability. Which would be limited because you won't be a master.

I am inclined to agree with XingYuen. You mentioned that you are soloing. In this case, the only real benefit you get from combat medic is use of poisons and diseases. If you are fighting PvE, compared to the damage you'll do from standard combat, poison and diseases will do relatively little damage (unless you are fighting a "very big" monster). If you are doing PvP, mind poisons are strong, but being able to cure them as a doctor is equally valuable. In either case, being able to self buff is much more useful in general as a solo player than poisoning.
That being said though, I think that combat medic is just more *fun* than a doctor (where you pretty much would only use it to self buff, then return to being a master medic). But that's a matter of personal taste...

Well, my choice was made last night. I'm now 2004 in CM. 
Debating on whether or not to spend the extra points on doc. At what level of doc can you use decent buffs? and what are the best poisons/diseases you can use at 2004 CM? let me know when anyone gets a mins.
thanks!

At 2004 combat medic, you can use all area stims, the best single poisons and diseases, and specially crafter area poisons and diseases (which are maybe 1/2 to 2/3 the strength of a full strength area poison or disease).A rough idea of strength of each med can be seen in the "CM Guide or FAQ?" thread.
For buff strength, you are best off asking at the doctor forum. But my impression is that if money is no objectat doc level (read: the excellent meds, have clothing, and are using food):
0200 - can not buff
0210 - strength 200 buffs
0220 - strength 400 buffs
0230 - strength 700 buffs
0240 - strength 1100 buffs
As you increase your injury treatment rating, the buffs will go up appropriately (to a max of around 1800 at 0440 doctor).
Again though, I have had limited experience and exposure to buffing, so you might want to post your question on the doctor forum.

I am building my smuggler template and had a question. I am currently bh pistol 4 and dropped the rest of the trees. Would BH pistol IV and master smuggler make just a good of combo for PVE vs master pistoleer/master smuggler?
Thanks for any information.

Take up pistoleer skills and you'll have a good template. Maybe defences and tech lines. No need to go master pistoleer because the majority of the prof is broke when it comes to specials. I think a master smuggler/pistoleer would possibly win because they have some defence mods where you don't have anything that will benefit you against this template. If you get some defence mods you'll likely be able to win most times.

I have never had a swordsman and i just made jedi with my alt i was trying to come up with a good template for hunting the crystals i will need.
I was thinking of Rifleman with Swordsman, and either master Marksman or master brawler with the rest in medic. What are you guys oppinions?

Swords will give you the ability to kill Nightsisters, all the way up to Elders who, if they drop crystals, drop Premiums.. So Swords for the win!
