Hey, I'm thinking about going CM and I mainly do PvE and just wanted to check: Is MCM good for PvE? Just wanna check because I know it wasn't too good for PvE pre-CU. Thanks in advance.

PvE consists of kiting in a circle when fighting melee only creatures. CM has electrolyte drain, an excellent snare which makes this very easy.

MCM is good for PvE and PvP as is any general healing profession. It was awesome pre-CU and is just dandy post.
Your question sounds a bit loaded though. What exactly do you mean "good"? Are you talking "uber l337" vs. every NPC out there or gives you a major edge?

CM is great in PvE. It wont allow you to tank super high level MOBs, but you can solo most anything within 3 or 4 levels of yourself. What you couple MCM with will go a long way towards determining how fast you kill MOBs. I am MCM/MCH so it takes me a long time to kill high level MOBs and it takes a lot of my MCM to do it. Where MCM really shines is in group PvE when you can dish out heals, control aggro to some degree, and also hit with your CM attacks for added damage.

MCM/MPistoleer is awesome for PvE. You get great control abilities from CM and Pistoleer, very good heals, and almost all attacks are in the same range. Couple that with 0440 Carbineer, you've got more control abilities and a very high damage shot to use with body shot. I've been tempted to drop 4000 Doc for 0440 Carbineer.

as a whole if you're looking for PVE then you only really need CM4xx4. as MOBs really don't use action or mind then the xx4x tree is wasted, and most MOBs don't last long enough to really benefit from DOTs....though if yuo're Master CM then throw a few on anyhow i supppose

Granted MOBs don't use much action or mind (which is a mistake in my opinion, but they do burn a lot of action to doa KD recovery) and 4004 CM would be just as effective as MCM, you're overall template determines how long a PvE fight will last. I don't use DOTs in a large group huntsince things die very quickly but solo, I DOT the snot out of everything. MPistols/MCM/4000 Doc has Pistoleer specials only and the DOTs from CM provide the extra damage kicker I need to keep damage going. MBH/MCM and 1 tree of any ranged profession has a much higher weapon damage output compared to my template, so granted DOTs aren't as vital to that template.
Whether you go MCM, 4004 CM, 4000 CM, or 0004 CM, the rest of your template build determines which is more effective to go. I needed would healing and more powerful single point heals to keep the tanks up and running, so MCM was perfect to couple with MPistols. And as much as I want to have a higher weapon damage output and a variety in specials, I can't give up the ability to keep several tanks going at once without spamming bacta taunt.... errr, bacta spray.

CM is great for PvE take MBH/MCM/4xxx rifles This is a great template if you can play it. both for pvp and pve. Your healing power means you'll have to take alot of mine food for higher level stuff. Did a Black Sun henchmen lvl 89 no worries aslong as you got the right armor / food and can do enough dmg you should be fine.
Tried it on a DJK but was having dmg problems, even kiting the hit dmg being delt was just abit more than i could deal with but i bet more experienced people with this tent have no problems.
But again melee it's alot better than ranged!

easily. you can either stand there and fight it out, and heal ever once in a while, or if in town, dot, snare, let em chase you around building, and stop to kd, critical, then run again
i just wear some 5k padded, a psg and use my fwg. no probs at all. open with paralyze, shock, thyroid, snare, then start fire & poison, then kd & crit / torso till they are dead.
easy. i can solo cl 111 djwhatevers like that w/o being hit if i play it just right.

if you use the mcm level electro drain, you can outrun anything even with a rifle. just run in circles and the dj's won't even hit you. althogh, i did have one that used non mls saber throw on me some, but he still died easily.
