Here's mine, not a true CM template but here goes.

0004 Cm, 3040 Doc, Master Swords (speed capped with a minimum of 125 counterattack)

what is the point of dots if A) you encounter a doctor, and B) you cant stay alive long enough to incap em. Tossing 1000+ power poison is nice, but I guarantee you that my template above will beat anyone.

• you can take anything off, poisons, fires, intimidate, etc
  
• you can put on dots, stacking poisons as high as you want.
  
• and since you can take intim and stun off, the counterattack works like a charm.
  
• pop a LS psg on and jedi stand no chance.
  
• Brandy, Parawan Nutricake, synsteak, protein waffers, thakitilo, vercupti, all you need


• 90med use allows you to use the best cures.

Why not 4030 doc? I think I remember but u cannot heal fire dots 4XXXdoc, I dont recommend doing 4030 anyways, and just go up the CM effect tree 3004 and be 4000 doc

---

at 3xxx you heal fire. Its a lot easier to get the best 90med use packs than to get 0030 custom doc stuff. I guess its interchangeable though. I personally dont worry about disease hits.

The reason i say 0004 cm, is that if you do 4004 you lose a lot of your doctor defense. IF you can take stuff off in one try then you are set. Besides, you can get say a 345 eff poison, a 200 eff B single, and a 200 eff area C (75 med use) and tick out for about 800. Im just sayin that yeah being able to get the 1.75 modifier is nice but in this instance its over kill.

As currently a MSwords, 4000 tka, 3440 doc w/ 135 counterattack and a 40%90%base helmt and chesti take relatively no damage. I rarely even need to intimidate ppl, usually the only ppl i need to prevent from doing damage to me are swords & jedi. I can let tkas dizzy/kd and stun me and then wail on my head and have little concern.

Basically with my temp, or the one outlined above no-one can take me out one on one (99% of the time). If you have the 3040 doc you can take on the best of cms cause you will be slingin the best of cure packs. if you do the 4004cm/3000doc one you a only good for curing poisons/fires from dot weapons, one cm and you are out of the game.

With eaither my swords/doc/meditate4 template or the cm/doc/swords template if you are fast on the keys you take less damage than the best stackers. You have to cure your intimidate and stun (since both break your counterattack). I am currently doing the swords/doc/tka because of its added usefulness to a group of pvpers and its use in PvE (being able to rezz and buff at anytime for about 2300+)

Stackers have the following weaknesses regardless of their template

• Can be intimidated


• Can be poisoned, even with resist packs they still can.


• no terrain neg, sitting ducks for someone kiting them on a hit

purebread CMs have the following weaknesses (famine will always be MCM)

• generally low on the defneses and go down fast especially if they are a MCM/Mranged profession


• if its a mcm/Mranged profession they cant cure intimidate or poison

The cm temp up there with sowrds and doc has the following advantages

• an defensive monster. you can take anything off in a heartbeat that anyone puts on you


• if you keep the intim & stun off, your counterattack will be working at all times, generally


• since you take off your intimidate you can always counton doing the max damage with your weapons.


• you have a dizzy lunge


• for pvp purposes you only need to use three swordsman moves, hit3, headhit3, lunge


• you can apply dots on ppl that some would pay millions for on a looted weapon. Having all that defense, better than a stacker and still being able to toss 3 poisons for 800ish effectiveness without venom (get some venom and you will be a machine)


• this is prob the most resourceful and versatile template next to a jedi. 50 terrain neg so you cna chase ppl (stackers sacrifice this usually)


• you can take out so many ppl cause you can last a long time via your defense. endurance is high.


• If you are quick on the hands and eat thakitillo you rarely find yourself dizzykd, and if you do just make a curedizzy/stand macro.

If at all, i would like to hear some more feedback on the weaknesses of this template (Mswords/0004cm/3040doc)
