So I'm walking around Coronet today, trying to find someone to group with, JUST so I can heal them while they're under attack. I didn't want to get Carbine Exp, or Combat Exp, all I wanted was Medical Exp. Guess how many people wanted me to come along? None. "But Millions! Medical Experience is easy to get! All you have to do is heal people!" That's where my problem lies. Finding people to heal, even in the field, is extremely difficult. The main problem? Pets. No one needs their damage healed, BECAUSE NO ONE IS TAKING ANY! Ever since they removed experience for healing pets (which is unreasonable, healing is healing, and experience is experience, as long as it's an organic creature, you're "experiencing" healing it, right?) it's been terribly difficult to get Medical exp for CM. "But Millions! Why don't you sit around the med center and heal people!?" Because I'm a COMBAT MEDIC, not a Doctor, and I refuse to heal wounds. I became a Combat Medic to heal my group, not to be a sub-par wound healer. I'm a Combat medic, I do NOT heal wounds.

a nice packed Cantina is also a gold mine for med exp if there is a lot of dancers and musicians.

Go to the clone center on Lok... there is usualy some sort of group in that area... and they always need healing.
On a side note... i didnt realise your name was Millions till the end of that post... i was extreamly confused at why you kept saying "But Millions!".

First of all, hunt in a group without pets. I do soalmost nightly in the Dune Sea and I can make 6000 exp per hour at least (just what i made last night... actually didnt do much last night). Second of all, the problem with healing pets is that people would exploit it. It doesn't take a genius to tell the goldmine of medical exp within a severely damaged rancor. People could master the non-crafting branches of doctor and CM in a day by just damaging then healing rancors or whatever. Med exp is one of the easiest skills to get, in my opinion.

It sucks, but people die out on the field or hospitals would be empty.
I know what you are saying, but bottom line: Do you want Medical Experience or not? If you do, bite the bullet and stay in the Med Center or Cantina. Groups will want you soon enough when you have the skill believe me.

I play a Blue/Dark skined Rodian on the Farstar-Europe server. My character has muscles and a big torso(For rodian size), but is very small and very thin.
Currently my skills are:
Brawler: 4/3/4/3
Scout: 4/0/4/0
Teras Kasi: 3/4/4/3
Teras Kasi is my passion. Im simply a fan of martial arts, and I will stick with this proffesion even if they nerf it to the ground by taking away power boost, speed and defense mods.
But creating my character have been very hard.
Im the type of guy who wanna PvP, PvE and be social. Im not out to be uber, and I have never taken Medic, simply because I don't like it.
And for the love of god I have tried many templates. Not templates of getting the most uber l33t character with the best HAM stats and weapons, but to have a all around character than I can have fun with in every MMO aspect.
And I have been a novice of many proffesions with my rodian!This includes; Carbineer, Pistoleer, Rifleman, Smuggler, Creature Handler, Chef, Tailor, Heavy Swordsman, Musician and many others.
People always tell me, play what YOU wanna play, and so I have tried, but for a long time I have used countless of hours looking for a template that suits me. Im always giving up, along the road for some other proffesion, and I have tried many of them multiple times.
A template idea would be like; Teras Kasi + Smuggler + Pistoleer = 3 master proffesions! Two elite and one hybrid! Would allow me to have both ranged, melee and smuggler which would include being social and craft.
But these ideas just slip my mind allot and I keep surrendering to try something else.
This time I tried the path for a TKA + Fencer + something else... After reaching novice fencer i got tired of it, and dropped it! Then i tried to mix TKA with heavyswordsman, but dropped it at novice again! And now im at polearms 3, wondering if i will drop pikeman when i reach novice!
I don't understand!
TKA has been a blast all the way through! Even the annoying slow grind from unarmed 1 to TKA novice!
I just know that I wanna be a TKA, but I keep slipping through for other things! Doing crazy stuff like doing holocrons(Couldnt even get Master Scout, which was my first holo)!
But with type I have shapen my character! I have decided to go Rebel. So at least thats a startingpoint.
But should i take Commando? Get does cool looking flamethrowers, no social proffesion though!Try smuggler after revamp? Just go two Brawler classes and mix it with master entertainer/master artisan for some income/social?
My experiencefor diffrent kind of things like slicing experience(5000+) and carbineer xp,is sick.. Because I have tried stuff like pistoleer/smuggler 3-4 times..
It is splitting me inside that I cannot find anything to add with my Teras Kasi Skills.
Anyone who can help me? Give me an advice?
And I don't care about healing myself in PvP or being a rifleman for defenses and mind shots or take Doctor...
But maybe im looking at the game the wrong way! Im looking at it, like I was going to take a real life job/skill/proffesion... And have varirty in my virtual life in SWG!
Maybe anyone who feels the same way? Don't know what to mix with their proffesions!

Personally, I didn't like Commando at all. I got to about 4/2/4/4 and I was getting really anxious, because I wanted to do something else, it just didn't fit me. I like that Smuggler/Pistoleer/TKA Combo, because it is really nice. Sorry I can't be anymore help.

Im also intrested in hearing peoples opinions and goals, for creating their perfect template, and listen to them about what they consider important!

TKA+Doctor. You can have a nice social life in buffing and healing, and also be able to afford really nice things from buffing and running missions.
