But here is a hard fact that I can say.Withallexternal factors set aside, ifyou're poisoned and diseased, you'll die.So, if you want tobe on the top of PvP food chain, you'll have to have doctor. Not only for Combat Medics, but against those Pikeman with DoTpolearms or Fencer withDoT gaffies, or Rifleman with DoT rifles, or Pistoleer with DoT pistols. You get the picture.
Or I can have a Doctor with me....I don't have to pick up the skills myself. That's the point.

Or I can have a TEF riding TKM that's beating on your Doctor. Again, moot point.
Here is my favorate saying.
"Without the ability to to cure yourown poison/diseae,
you're a liability to me."
In large PvP or single PvP,if you can't cure your own poison/disease, your effectiveness is severely limited.

Or I can bring a whole crew to TEF gangbang anything else you got but then again not the point...You make it sound like nothing can be done unless you pickup doctor yourself and I have proven otherwise. That's the point.

That my friend is something we'll never know. Will we?
An another tactical tip.
Find out which number in your group corresponds with the doctor.
When poisoned:
Press ctrl+the doctors number
Now the blue arrow will point towards the doctor. This makes it easier to get within healing range.
(Note: Difficult Terrain can make it a bit messy and offset the arrow direction)

I don't agree.
Not having one non-combat profession in your group make you hopeless in PvP is not an acceptable way of prmoting interaction/interdependancy.
By that rule they should give squad leader 1 ability that make everyone in his group 100% immune to all forms of damage. unless other side have image designer with them.
They should allow smuggler one skill that excempt everyone in his group from 75% pvp damage reduction. Unless otherside have weaponsmith/armorsmith with them.
They should make any group that have BH uber conceal so that they are not targetable by opposit side. unless opposit side have ranger in their group.
These kind of forced interaction/interdependancy is a good thing? where unless you have 1 profession, you deserved to get owned? I don't think that is a good combat mechanic because it trivialized the skill of both side. You wanna go into GCW and walk away thinking you won/lose that battle because both side fought hard and you won or lost because one of you were better? or do you wanna walk off thinking you won or lost because one side just happen to have CM/Doc?
I think the Anti-CM tactics by original poster is a good tactic NOT because it "nullify" CM, but it is a good PvP tactic in any situation and it allow lot of people to continue to have fun PvP until Dev get around to remove all the bugs associated with not only CM, but with all other combat related issue like buffs, armor and everything else.
