My main toon is a master doctor, i have enough points to master the weapon of my choice, i was going rifle but the high dmg i get hit for and using my mind pool up to attack seems to not help my staying alive and having mind points to heal people. I was thinking carbine might be the best choice for me, was thinking my buffs will counter the high ham costs. What i'm wondering is since i cant do the bh carbine tree, will i be able to live longer in pvp and dish more dmg using a carbine or a pistol? any thoughts / suggestions would be great, thanks

im thinking it may be wiser at this point in time to go with pistol, because of the HAM costs, and delays related with carbines,as well asother factor with at carbine. Im a doctor/Combat Medic, and use a carbine, but pistol seems to be the most common choice.

HAH, pistoleers are getting the nerf bat, you can buff right? the carbineer is good for you, if your a twi'lek, rodain or bothan that makes it easier, we do decent damage but the HAM costs are high, but scince you can heal yourself for an umpty bilion damage that dosnt matter

with decent buffs you shouldnt need to worry about ham costs. pistols shoot faster for the most part but hit for crap cabine can also cap its speed at 1 sec a shot also but its alot harder to do that. need to one dip in to bh tree witch isnt an option for you or get plus 30 carbine sae =) witch is easier said then done =)

Because you can buff yourself the carbine's ham issues dont really matter to you. The only real factor is the delay in the combat que. You can heal and throw poisons faster with a pistol but you will probably hit harder with a carb (particularily if the FWG nerf on test goes live).

Im a master doc on scylla. Carbineer is great for docs. Im not the only one that thinks this. I have another guild mate that' s has the same skills as i do, Master Doctor/Master Carbineer. The number 1 issue with carbineer is HAM cost, and it all goes away, except mind cost, with good buffs. Spam crippling shot, Full Auto Single (my personal choice) or Burst shot 2 all you want. You'll do way more damage then pistol and you wont be as slow as a rifleman.

no - that's not the only issue - we have worthles elite gun, we are the slowest shooting profession out there (even rifle gets higher speed at master than carbine) but we also get medium AP for action cost we get KD move and area of effect - we're a real good class

BTW if you do wanna be a doc go with the right class for you - creature handler - you can still do damage without going into combat - you can still heal your party and do crowd control by sending pets after the mobs - albeit you can't solo anything without some shooting skills

You can go novice smugler with the dirty fighting tree(you get a kd(low blow)and feign death and last ditch - the most powerful pistol attack) and pistoleer with the special abilities tree(for the speed)and 2 skills in marksmanship for general aiming

or you can be doc master TKA - you can't really do any healing for the group but I hear it's the best solo fighter without pets out there and in the new update they really make TKAs be good tanks

Please send me a tell or e-mail in game if I won any auctions.

I'm very fond of the Doctor/Carbine combo, all except for one thing that has been noted above by a few people. The combat queue delay. If you're using a laser carbine(considered the strongest carbine by a long shot due to it's advanced armor pierce), get ready for a 10 second delay between med pack uses. I've found that as a Doctor/Carbineer, using a damage sliced DH17 in PvP is much better than the laser because you can last much longer, due to the DH17's fast attack speed. This allows you to pursue either of the Carbine's two paths of glory(well, sort of). Charge/Cripple, and Action1/Action2/LegShot.

In PvE without a doubt it's all about the laser. But as a Doc in PvP, you're going to want the reduced delay between shots. As the person above me said, we're the slowest firing class and we have to take what we can get.
