As a human that cares most about PvP I was wondering how everyone has their HAM set up?
I am:
500/400/400
500/400/400
1100/1100/600
EDIT: I played buffed all the time

Being thatI don't like to rely solely on buffs to keep me alive I have a pretty balanced spread. Now this is nowhere near exact, since I'm at work and can't check but it is something close to:
700/550/550
700/500/500
700/550/550
The action might be in the 400's bad for carbineer, but was good for whatever profession I had when I set it way back when. I do like this setup because irun lots of faction and BH missions unbuffed.

A key thing to remember is that about 50% of all hits land in Health, 33% land in Action, and 17% land in Mind. Now of course that differs for all the Mind only shots, but the point is that the Action pool gets hits so little, just watch your HAM sometime, that balancing H A M is really a waste for the unbuffed player.
And Food/Drink is your friend 
If you are always buffed, then minimize STR, CON, STA, QUI. And personally I never take my armor off and find that even unbuffed that I fair better with my uber heavy armor on than without it.....thanks to Novice Medic.

TA would you mind posting your stats? I'd like to see them. While i do play unbuffed quite a lot, I always use brandy whenI'm fighting, so I'm thinking of taking some out of mind and putting it into health and action. A little more inthe secondaries of action so my carbs don't hurt quite as much. Also, I too am medic (2-2-3-0) and fight unbuffed with chestplate, braces and boots. With blue pants and shirt and silver composit it has kind of a jango look to it

For unbuffed play, Won-wons, Kiwik Swirls, and Brandy are my best friends.
