I've been playing Master Rifleman/Master Combat Medic for a while now and it is a fun template. It has some severe disadvantages: almost no defense, few states, weakness vs. melee, etc. However, if this template is used in a group, even a small group, in PvP or high end PvE, it makes a great support template. With anywhere from one other player to a full group of 20, Master Rifleman/CM is a great template for high offense targeting the mind (mind poisons stacked + headshots will bring down the mind bar faster than anything I've ever seen), and a good group healer - area stims, ranged stims, only profession in the game that can heal mind. Thats why, this is a great template, imo. However, it does get a bit frustrating that 1 v 1 is a little harder for someone using this template, and the latest nerf to CM has made the poison/disease aspect much weaker. That said, I like the way this template players - and its the first one I've ever had. I'm gonna stick with it for a while.
Good luck,
Cletuss

On the doc part... I did 0440 doc when I was playing with a MCM/Carbineer/Doc template - it let me resurrect and buff. Of course not buff as well as a master doc, but you can add in some BE clothes and bivoli to help make up for that.
But anyway with rifleman, I agree with the above poster. I tried dabbling in it, and it just didnt work that well. Either master it or pick a more dabble friendly weapons profession. Personally I liked carbineer 0322 (or 0321, whichever) that gave me cripple shot, burst shot, and chargeshot1 (KD).

master rifle
4,0,4,0 doc
3,0,0,4 cm
I think that would be ideal 
healing and poisoning at a decent rate...

my template is master rifle, doc 4440, cm 0003. Don't really have much from the cm except terrain negotiation and limited poison/area cure use. but being able to buff and cure psn/dis is priceless in pvp

Hello, I'm wondering if anybody could help me with working out my template, like the title says i'm wanting to combine Doc/CM/RIfle i've been MD/MCM a year ago with a different char so i know a little about that but i've never done riflemen.I was thinking 4-0-0-4 in CM/4-4-0-0 in doc and 4-2-4-4 in rifleman. I'mhoping to get goodhealing and some offense out of this but again not sure about the best way to do it. ANY help is appreciated!
P.S. I'll be posting this on the cm and riflemen forums also.
Are you planning Pvp? PvE? That determines ALOT on which way to go

Master rifle is a given you cant avoid that if you want to do serius dmg
as for other 2 im curently 3--4 cm -44- doc but i mainly play pve got my own buffs some mind poisons disseases and head shot 3
as for pvp i would probably go for cures might be 4--4 cm and4-3- maybe 3-4- would also consider going for mind heal thow
ei 34-4 or 44-4 and 4--- or 3---
come to hink of it i would be probably
34-4 and 4--- all cure fire extinguish mind heal and some decent poisons with if i would get tape 25 med use or so then i would go 44-3 in cm

Slightly off topic, but incidentally this is why I went back to MCM/MDoc - the jedis. I can keep my team alive for quite a while against Jedis (most Jedis have spent their time grinding, and many are quite noobish when it comes down to strategy - they dont have the brains or experience to learn to attack the healer first), and resurrect the ones that do die so they can be more Jedi cannon fodder.

Awsome ..i just came up with a very similar template , but how useful is 4004? i know its not nearly as good as master but are the poisons and diseases any good at that lvl?
