Hey all. I am looking to go 4,4,0,4 in CM. Will I be able to use pretty much all meds? If not like this. Does anyone know if there are +CM USE attachments?


I am looking at going TKM/CM 4,4,0,4 ....does anyone have thoughts on this templete?

All med use SEA's are not working 'as intended'. As far as your template... I have no experience with it personally, but I see other combat medics only do TKA 4/4/0/4 and master CM.


Depending on how you play, you can get semi-decent meds out of it, but not the best.

Well you won't be that great, you'll be able to use crummy area C poisons, and maybe area B diseases too...but you'll never be able to use Area C disease or Single C diseases since the med use is impossible to level down enough.


And skill attatchments for combat med use don't work...so that template will be flawed imo.

CM isn't a dabble friendly profession. You will lose a huge bonus to your damage and range. Also like Manimal said you will be limited to >76 MU CM meds.

I've got to agree with these guys. CM is one of those professions that gives you insane bonuses at the master box. It is definately worth capping it out.

I am currently a TKM/CM 3/2/0/4. Although I don't have the AoEs and such, the damage that I can inflict on mind/health per click coupled with my TKM skills is dominating!


I have been averaging about 350 dmg to mind and health. Doing the math however (350 to mind + KD2 + Warcry + mind hit = dead opponent in about 8 seconds).


The other thing I have noticed is that people get an over developed sense of desparation when they notice they have been poisoned and are more likely to rush up on me (mistake). The only thing I have been wrestling with is whether or not to use willpower and focus poisons on ppl during raids ( it doesn't kill them right away but makes them useless after they clone).


I'd like to hear more on this topic...anyone?

The other day I caught an overt Imp at Yavin Mining Outpost. I poisoned him and his covert doc friend tried to cure him. I AE poisoned them both, then the rest of the 6 coverts joined in. My boost was just starting to wear off and I had NO buffs. I used AE Mind poison, AE Minddisease, AE health poison, AE action disease, and a single stack of mind poison on the doctor. Using cover from the ticket booth (the little room) I bought myself time to heal and pop a muon. As the poison was ticking away 5 of them bumrushed me at once and incapped me. I hit Force of Will and barely healed a bit. I popped a fishak, healed myself and as they were trying to understand what just happened I used /unarmedspinattack1 and incapped those 5. The other 3 incapped from pois/disease. It was quite satisfying knowing I had beaten 8 players solo even when they group tef zerged me. Haha support class my ass...

The diseases are sort of dependant on the scenario as far as usage in PVP goes. If your doing small group and/or solo encounters than I dont typically use them, reason being, the disease takes 20 seconds for the frist tick to hit, so in small scale pvp... 3 on 3 ish... the enemy is typically dead before 1 tick of the disease hits them when i run with groups of my PA members. No point in wasting a stim on that. Now in large battles/base assaults/defenses by all means disease the crap out of ppl.

Gnuut, your story gives me hope. a great deal of hope. i had given up on the TK / CM combination because BOTH are classes that give HUGE bonuses @ the Master level, and as everyone here knows if you want to do these two classes you have to chose ONE Mastery.


the problems (not that i REALLY had any problems) with TKA are the lack of any DoTs and of course the lack of range. these two problems are taken care of by MCM. the nearly profession killing problem with Combat Medic is the lack of real combat skills. that is MORE than handled with TKA (in my eyes the best single class combatants there are).


your story has inspired me to redirect my energies back into my ORIGINAL desired template.


thank you

4,0,0,4 CM,provided you have a supplier of 75cmu poisons and diseases is devatstating in PvP solo and even more powerful in group.


Back it up with a weapon or profession that focuses on the pool you poison and its even more deadly.

Yes, SUPPORT class. Notice that victory wouldn't have been possible without your TKA skills (Force of Will and Spin Attack). You used your Combat Medic skills to supplement your Teras Kasi.

Last thing this forum needs are Combat Medics claiming to be too powerful. We get enough of that from uneducated idiots who think we're the uber-profession.

you make an excellent point...strategy wise your template works for you....I have to admit when i was master heavy sword and i got poisoned or diseased I would macro /follow /burstrun and eat the CM up...if I did that and ran into a TKM...I would be knocked down and dead before the second tick.
