Thread: Doctor or Combat Medic?
go with both!!!! lol thats wat i did
i couldnt choose so i chose both
I went Master CM and 0,4,3,4 Doctor. I love it. I can use poison C's, make great stims, heal huge wounds, revive, and use Health and Action Enhance D's......I still have enough points to master one tree of Carbineer. Except for missing the poison and disease cures..this is a great support class.

Both. The two Elite Medic professions compliment eachother so well, it's almost a shame not to.
Doctor (at master level) will give you some awesome buffs in the neighborhood of 3K max, and revive as well as counters to poision and disease. You can explore just about any planet solo (or w/ a non-CH pet) with those buffs and a ranged weapon.
Combat Medic will give you the most offensive that can be granted by a Medic profession and poision/disease can compliment other weapons very will in PvE and make you a formidable opponent in PvP as well. Your CM ranged healing and offensive poisions will make you verydesirablein PvP groups.
I've tried going one or the other and a weapon or another class and it's just not the same. If I had to chose I would do Doctor and CH with a weapon skill for added damage, but the world of Dr.+CM is so sweet, I just can't imagine going back.
I'd say depends on what you want to do. and if you already have master ranged support abilities. I love my Area Stim packs! but you dont get those till later, but i havent gotten to use any of the special doctor things yet, so if you want to be on the battle field healing, go with combat medic, ranged makes ALOT of difference!
However im just the very novice doctor, so im kinda partial 
Im running out there door, but here is a quick list to think about...
Doctor
Can Resurect
Can Buff
Has a descent income from buffing and stim B's
Uses up less Skill points then CM, therefore you have more options what else you want to do
CM
Can heal at range
Can heal with an area effect
Can poison
ok, gotta run hope that helps
Yeha I'm going Doctor as well; for teh buffs and revive...
I just need to find a combat class to go with it now
