This is all for pve btw,..
I currently have two accounts, one with 4440 doc master swordsman..
And one that currently isn't anything really.
I'm thinking of going this route, and curious what you think.
For my current swordsman:
Master Swords
Master Brawler
4304 TK
4400 Fencer
0040 Medic
Second Char:
Master Doc
Master CM
4th box of rifle in marksman
This way my main will have much higher defence, but still still always have buffs.
Now I was hoping that I could set my Doc/CM to /follow my swordsman and make a few macros for him to make it easier. So that with the push of a button he will cycle through his poisons / disease for mind and then start attacking mind with the rifle to help kill things like NS elders faster.
I would of course have to keep /taunt on the mob with my swordsman etc, less I have a dead CM.
The CM would also be there for healing when nessicary, but I will have 0040 medic on my swordsman to throw the occasional heal. Or I can drop medic and pick up more TK / Fencer for resists.
My fiancee is going towards master swordsman / master ranger so that will help do even more mind damage.
Questions, comments? Should I go master on CM .. or not, and pick up more rifle? etc etc.
Thanks

if you're gonna let a rifle 4 in marksman shoot an elder and tank with that it will takes AGES to kill, instead just use your powerhammer on the elder and i personally dont like the idea of setting your alt up with a macro to help you

Hi,
I don't get it. You get all those to do so little things. You dont need most of those things if you simply are going to kill NS's. Besides PvE CMing is about style less about doing HIGH damage. You poison and you sit back in relax while it eats up the mob. Sorta require patience. Afterwards, you can kill them with a pistol or something in one shot. Very economical and above all cool (in my opinion) ... no need to use UBER UBER EXPENSIVE weapons/armors for petty critters.
I think if you had Swordsman, you will probably never use poison. It does so much damage while PvEing. Which I loved! (but got bored of monotonous spamming) To kill a NS, you just go up ... stop ... spam HH3. Dont bother DoT or anything.
You should try something different. Try carbineer. Counterattack should stack. You also get AoE triple status effects. Once dizzy, you can do AreaHit3. AoE KD! Also, crafting profession is surprisingly fun! (which I realized just as I become MCM ... yesterday) I wouldnt ask you to do entertainment, but I had fun. Ranger, I hear, is pretty cool with all the harvesting making loads of money. (Plus area track!) Lastly, this may sound lame, but BH is fun also with now-reduced requirement. They are really powerful now, if you are into that sorta thing.
My previous personal favorite was mfencer/tkm. This is a good combo if you always happened to be ... unbuffed. Gives you enough def to simply not die and often kill the mob. Then I picked up CM and I am hooked on it right now.
