Hi all.
As I'm becoming a Master Combat Medic, and properly Master Doctor with Novice Scout, I just want to know if it would be any efficient at collecting meat or similar (for my upcoming BE?)?
Just want an answer

No.
CM/doc is a very poor combo for hunting. Veryslow killing is the biggest issue. Just think how long it would take for the poison/disease to take to tick away a 10k ham.
Pick up a fight class.

Got friends you can regularly hunt with? Go for it (and pick up a nice harvest droid to actually get some quantity) but without a buddy to help spend those remaining 17 points in pistols, rifles, or carbines.

only reason to go MCM/MD is to be a pure support build. while you will still die almost instantly if attacked 
hunting is out of the question

I wouldn't say it's out of the question. I pick up novice scout at times to do some of my own hunting. It's just not fast.

I do master CM and Master doc with 1414Marksman (Just pistols 4 with a 1.2 speed scout blaster). If you want to do SOLO PvE, be prepared for a lot of kiting and waiting. Now with the GCW cities, it's just PAINFULLY slow for me if I get agro'ed by opfor NPCs because all I can do is poison/disease and wait awhile as I poke at it with my weak blaster. I may recommend another template however. If you really want strong buffs, then you'll need to keep master doc, but if not, you can drop the crafting tree. Also, I would recommend dropping down to 4004 CM because master CM gives you a 2x multiplier on your poison ticks, and 4004 gives you a 1.75x multiplier...so not much of an increase.
If you drop down to 4440 doc and 4004 CM (possibly 3004CM if you want more combat), you could pick up nearly 2 trees of any ranged prof plus novice scout (make sure either to get food or a good harvesting droid if you want to increase yields). Also, I'm very happy being a master doc/master CM, but I would never consider dropping the little combat that I have for scout...I just assume find other means to get the meats and hides that I need.

This is something I have been wondering about:
Can you use a harvest droid without the scout skill?
