Thread: Best Way To Handle CM Ladder
Support treehas to be done firstf, that gives you the med use you need to use the "good stuff", which you don't get till Expert and Master, Speed isn't too bad as is Distance. If you can afford to, buy your stims and slowly work up crafting. Don't bother with posions at first, they suck, and hardly ever stick, unless you get a Master to craft some low med use B's or C's, but they will cost you. Most important thing is to ignore the hate people have for CM's and enjoy the fact that once you hit Master, you can have peoples minds pouring out their ears and hunting groups will worship the ground you walk on for the Area heals that you dish out.
Good luck, hope it goes well for you.
Support, Speed, Distance, Crafting
After you get support, use Area Stims in Coronet or Bestine Cantinas, just watch for TEF's.

Go Support 4, Distance 4 then Speed 4. Personally I'd get some AE Poison A's (Any stat) and go to a durni lair (or any low HP mob lair will do).Poke the lair till about 10 or more come out at once, holster your weapon, peace and spam the poison.
At CM0002 you will get the xp equivalent to the rated effectiveness of the poison pack plus your effectiveness bonus. At CM0004 you can start using better poison packs, like AE Bs. At CM1004 your damage on the packs will start gaining more of a bonus to damage and distance. At CM4004 your bonus to damage and distance will be maxed until you reach Master. At this point you will fly through the Speed tree in approximately 30 minutes or so.
Now you may ask "But won't mobs die with so much poison being applied to them?" No, thanks to the +1 nerf the Devs have introduced the easiest way to Power Level a CM.
Another question you may have is "Will I still gain xp for applying a poison pack to a mob with only 1 HP?" Yes, you will gain full XP but it just won't do the damage. Spam the pack like mad. I recommend you buy or make some poison packs made with Rancor biles to maximize the charges. A good pack made with Rancor Bile can have upwards of 90-190 charges on them.
The Crafting XP....
Setup 6 Food and chem crafting tools from left to right in the top bar using a separate panel. Have 18k Lok wheat and 18k Tat Fiber in your main inventory. Once you go through this macro you will notice the message "Crafting Station has ended". Don't worry about it this macro is automatically skipping the practice box after you load the resources but you still get the XP.Also I would recomend if you plan on hotkeying this Macro to put it in the Shift F12 button of the panel.
You can use this macro while you are running from point A to point B, during some downtime and even crafting stations or droids will not affect this macro as it skips the experimentation and practice screens.
