Hello,
Im a doc as of now and have thought a lot about doing combat medic for myself and for guild as we dont have one. Now the thing is I can have doc or CM. I am using doc for force xp grinding and keeping my guildies healthy but read a post saying that a combat medic can max xp on a single rancor lair using area poisons getting around 450 per critter per throw. Meaning ten on me would give 4500 a throw. I want to know if this is true from someone that does it. Thanks in advance for your replies. Below is the post I read.
Thorne / Enod
My advice if you want to do it without macro grinding is to:
1. Drop doc and pick up CM.
2. Make some area poisoinsC's. Exp up the eff and ignore the pot.
3. Then just attack a lair with your combat prof until you get a few critters out.
4. Then start chunking poisons.
With each toss you will get about 450ish exp per target. With 10 targets that is 4.5k exp per toss. You can toss them at about once ever 5 seconds or so. That is about as fast an exp as you going to find.
The pros are:
1. You dont need a partner.
2. You can do it just outside the village.
If you make your own meds poisons are not too expensive since all of the resouces can be machine harvested (if I recall correctly).

Generally speaking, yes thats the way to do it. Some advice though:
Use your stored Doc XP and/or use Doc skills to get up to CM 0/0/0/4.
Use Area C's that have been expiramented down for med use, or Area B's. Look for potency above 120.
Go for 4/0/0/4 second. You'll do more damage, hence get more XP.
For crafting grindAdvanced Biological Effect Controlersif your short on cash or resources. The fastest way however would be to grind Advanced Infection Amplifiers, but due to the resourcesinvolved most CMs do not go with this method.

It doesn't need to be rancors. You get exp based on the poison strength and not creature strength. So brackasets or even vernis or kwis will work.

As the author of original suggestion let me add.
1. I am a doc/CM and yes it does work. I was tossing poisons during the phase 4 battles and capping med exp 2x during each attack. (and having tons of fun trying to keep my team live)
2. Once you get master CM experiment all on effectiveness so that the damage will be higher resulting in more exp.
3. When doing lairs find ones that do little damage to you but have lots of creatures (baznitchs work very well). I dont suggest rancors as your armor will take a beating.
