I have a TKA, but would love some of the abilities of a CM. Is that enough of the proffession to be effective...to poison, to heal the mind and what not? Is this a viable combo for PvP? I really want to keep my TKA, but want to be able poison and heal the mind.
What do you guys think? Any opinions or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Without support 4, a cm is just about useless. you would be better off as a doctor.
IMHO

You're poisons will flat out suck, think 150 damage every 10 seconds (and not even AOE poisons either)...plus, you can't heal your own mind if that's what you were thinking.

Why would I be useless without Support IV? And you can't heal your own mind? Is there THAT big of a difference between level B and level C poisons??? And can a Doc CURE diseases? Like if I was poisoned by a CM, as a Doc, could I heal that really fast?

I've said this before, CM isn't a dabble friendly profession. If you want to be good, you want to be master. If you've leaving out any branch or only partly doing it you're losing how effective you'll be in combat. I hate how CM hogs the skill points, but I wouldn't give up any of them and lose the Master. You'll notice a difference MCM vs nonMCM. The best AE poisons are for Masters

Yes, C poisons are easily 3x better then B poisons, plus, B poisons generally have pretty low potency, so they'll stick maybe 1 out of every 2 tosses.... and docs can cure poisons pretty fast (by fast meaning it usually only takes one cure stim to cure multiple stacked poisons at once), but they can't cure as fast as a combat medic can toss.

Support IV = Combat Med Use. The CM Med Use for poisons are very unforgiving, they are hard to experiment down and still be usefull. At support2 you can just barely use area poison As and they will be resisted alot. For a CM the area attack is the best card to play.
No you can NOT heal your own mind, as a fatter of fact you take huge mind wounds when you heal other peoples mind.
There is a big difference between B and C poisons, Plus with your effectiveness sitting at 35 your poisons will tick for close to min damage.
Yes Doctors can cure disease. It is a bit harder for them to cure it compared to poison, but disease is so much slower it is a small issue.
