Combat Medic Archive

Well, a few weeks ago I decided that I'm never going to PvP again for various reasons. So i've been PvEing and whatnot, and I've realized that CM is a hell of a lot of skill points for its limited use in PvE. 600 tick every 10 seconds is pretty much useless compared to my rifle's damage output. And healing myself, I only use Master Medic level Stim Es. CM is basically useless to me, and limited useful to groups. A doctor on the other hand is awesomly useful to the doctor himself (buffs anyone?) and more useful than CM to groups (Rez, buffs, wounds, heal poison and disease, ect). If it wasn't for the fact that I make alot of money selling pretty much the best poisons on the server, I'd pick up Doc in a heartbeat. Another point is if I dropped CM for Doc i'd be able to pick up Novice Scout and actually be able to harvest my own materials instead of having to bum off meat from guildies (I'm also a chef, and my alt is a doctor) Anyone else having the same thoughts? I'm having a very hard time deciding what to do.

Ok, put it this way, 60 per second with poisons, maybe 100 with good venom stuff, or 3k every second with master rifleman. The only occasion that its useful is against kryats, and high end, high armor mobs (like nightsister elders. What I'm trying to say is that CM is a heck of alot of skill points for ranged stims, and very crappy bleeds. I dont know how they are changing bleeds, but I know when I used to bother bleeding, I'd get like 1.5k bleeds which is alot more than a poison.

I am a MCM, doc 0440, and pistoleer 0043. I do a lil PvP but also PvE. I find i am able to solo almost any mob in the game using stacked health or mind poisons and the right tactics. In groups i find i play a more support role just stiming and tossing poisons on mobs with high resistances. Ofcourse im always buffed when i solo...but only require H and A buffs when i fight. Dont give up on PvE.......my poisons are not the best but when 2 are stacked i will tick off about a 1000 per 10's. U will find in solo u will do best in close quarter dungeons .....like the weapon facil on naboo if u are reb. The AI in the game is not the best and i have been able to solo an ancient rancor without being touched. U may also find using that stupid cl 10 pet invaluable as a 1 time diversion tactic against a high lvl NPC. Also suppression fire is great too for delay tactics .....all cm's have this skill. Also don't forget to use line of sight and any objects in the terrrain to snare the chasing bad guy. A CM is also required when fighting eldar sisters with 80/90-100% resists......you will be the damage dealer.....the rest of ur group are just a distraction to her!

G'luck and don't give up!

i am hanging on to my CM character with the hope that they will improve CM as a PvE class. as it stands (Combat Medic / Carbineer) the character is not a very powerful PvE character, but with the carbineer changes coming it will improve things. if they also improve CM theni will have quite a nice lil' PvE character

CM needs to have damage quadruppled for PvE. We really do.

I usually lob a poison or two out of habit when i PvE but just fireing at random pools with my carbine usually takes down the Mob quicker than applying a action poison, an action bleed and just spamming Legshots.

Obviously this is broken. We need to be a more viable class for PvE.
