If your into PVE and have plenty of $$ and/or resources go for it. If you want to go CM as a PVP er dont bother. 9.4 was supposed to fix Doc area cures range and tweak the doc poi/disease buffs. I havent seen 9.4. looks to me like its 10.0 first.

The 5 or 6 timesI have been in pvp since patch 9.3 a jedi kills me or helps a tkm kill me. My combat meds are totaly negated with one doc. I have been a mcm on ahazi for over a year and my vendor sales, for combat meds, has gone from a 3 mill+a week buisness, to less than 200k(not worth the effort). Yes im still a mcm/m doc, for how long ? I tell you go with tkm/doc or rifle /doc. The 169 skill points are a totatl waste MCM makes nomoney, gets 600 credit solo missions, even at master level.

Sure you can area heal at 30 m range (sometimes), and heal mind (if you like wounds), But thats about it.

I have been reading on the CM board lately because I am thinking of making my MD/Swordie a MD/MCM instead. I wanted to say a few things about some of the posts here that I've been reading. I don't know if any of you have noticed, but since mobs now use weapons and special attacks they can dish out some serious damage. I was running from a janta with a rifleman/ch alt of mine and before I was able to get away, it smacked him for over 1700 dmg in the legs (wasn't wearing leg armor). Now had he not been buffed, he would have been dead, just that simple. I would really like to see any of you melee professionsgo Mokk/Janta hunting with no armor and no buffs. I really would. I think I would see alot of dead melee masters. Prove me wrong. >>

lol...ill take you up on that challenge, if you are on Radiant server just give me /tell & ill group with you to show how’s itdone on a 30K mission, that’s right not 20k...its knowing your template strengths & weakness - plus, I will admit I do take one brandy and one synsteak with a powerboost... then im off for battle.


I willnever make another extreme template that relies on Buffs for my general hunting. For hungting tougher mobs/quests that’s the different story...currently im working my way thru Mokk Stronghold & just took out the Rock Shaper last nite......same routine as above. Also,hunting in this wayteaches youbetter tactics and prepares you for the nerfs that will be coming to Armor/Buffs with the CB.


Don't get me wrong, wearing Buffs/Armor is a good thing but not for my general hunting with this template...and i luv challenges


That’s why Ilaugh so hard when I read about ppl wasting their CM skills for only GROUP or PVP activities. If that’s the only time they use their CM skills....man they wasted a lot of skill points for nothing.

Melee especially TK's get melee toughness which is just like armor and melee defense which is yet another mitigator and then a Center of Being which even on pikes is stillsomething over ranged. Try doing mokk/janta as a ranged profession without armor sometime or without conceal shot. HUUUGE difference.

I agree that Range professions (been there) have a very difficult time doing this - w/o buffs/armor..but like i said as a Melee - TKM/ Doc / CM i'm luving it..& can take on 2 at one time if i need to
