I've looked through the forums but I couldn't really find a definite answer to this. People have listed their poison pack stats and things like that but how does that transfer to PvE? If a poison has an effectiveness of 300 does that mean it does 300 damage a tick guaranteed? I want to take up combat medic but i could never get it without giving up TKA. So now, I'm just trying to find out how effective a 4004 (or even 4404) combat medic would be at bringing down the tougher mobs (NS elders, etc).

Master CM is virtually useless in PvE. 4004 Cm would be worse. Your average single target poison c would probably tick at around 300, but I'm not sure about the diseases.
Asking for exact numbers is like asking "how much damage can a FWG5 do". its not a cut and dried answer.

correct. As it is, at master, I can do about 600 to 700 damage per tick with a good poison. The tick happens 1 time every 10 seconds. Now, in PvP, that can be a moderate amount of damage against a single target. in PvP, 700 damage every 10 seconds is almost insignificant. If you stack a C poison, a B poison, and an A poison on a critter, it can help, but it's still not even close to the damage you could do as any of the brawling classes.

True you only do 700 damage every 10 seconds, but it is MIND damage, and can be thrown at 80m+. PLus you can hit 40-50 if they are in a base.

Okay, but as a TKM I'm trying to find some way to bring down Axkva Min the nightsister queen. Now, I can stand there and let her beat on me all day because I'm a great tank. The problem though, is she's 100% resistant to kinetic damage...which is the only kind of damage I do. I'm trying to find the best way to bring her down and the combat medic looks like it might be able to do that. Quick clarification though, are you saying that it IS possible to have an A, B, and C poison on one target or that you would just like it to be that way?

You can stack them. I actually got her down about 50,000 mind(on my own as a doc/CM)before her minions took me down. I got a 1000 damage mind C on her(spider venom), an area mind C, then a single mind B, then an area mind B, then area disease C, single disease C, single disease B, and area disease B.....and about 20 seconds later I just got beat down like I was a punk. If I had had someone to tank she wouldn't have had a chance. Add up that damage....(1000+500+400+300) every 10 seconds and (250+300+150+100) every 40 seconds. So in 2 minutes you get 26400 + 2400 damage. And those are with low estimates on damage. From what I hear a TKM can tank her for quite a while, so that should be no problem. It couldn't hurt to bring along one more person to do some damage though

4004 CMs can do 1.75 times the range and damage rating of a stim when they use it.
Master CM do 2.0 times the range and damage rating of a stim when they use it.
You shouldn't have too much problem finding a poison stim or two which is individual use and rated at 300 or above if ya can bribe a master with who has some advanced components. That will let you do 525 damage per tick.
Edit: The formula is damage = rated effectiveness of poison times (1+ (CM effectiveness/100))
The CM effectiveness skill is determined by the first line of CM skills.

Hmmm...so if I happened to have a couple of clothing attachments with +combat medic effectiveness (which I do) I could hit the cap even at 4004. Might be nice. Even with poisons and disease though, it will still take me almost an hour to kill her. Oh well, better than never I suppose.
