The 4th box inCM supportwill allow you to use all poisons except area C poisons that have not been experimented down for a 75 CM med use.

Unfortunately, you haven't taken any boxes in ranged distance, which determines how far and how much damage your poisons will do. All poisons stims have a range and effectiveness rating to base the damage on. A master CM can throw stims for twice the distance of what their range is rated at and the poisons do twice the damage per tic at what the stimm effectiveness rating is. A CM withiut any boxes in the ranged distance tree only does 1.05 times the range and effectiveness rating of a stim.

Good single C stims have a range of 36-37m and an effectiveness of 320-340, depending on the resources on your server. with your template, you will be able to throw them 37-39m and the damage will be 336-357 damage every 10 seconds.

Area Cs experimented down to 75 med use will have the same range but effectiveness will be 180-200, giving you a tick of 189-210 every 10 seconds.

If you decide this is worth doing, make sure you have somebody you can rely upon to furnish you with good stims before you take the final plunge.

Edit: By the way, you will have to clear up 31 skill points to get 0004CM. Remember CMs have to take up novice marksman and all 4 boxes of the ranged support liine.

What Pahdbacca said.

Given the numbers quoted above, I personally would say that if you can only afford 0004 CM it's not worth it, and you would be better off with another profession or flushing out what you have already. In my opinion, somewhere around 3004 or 4004 CM becomes a viable skill set. Others might disagree with this assessment though.
