Master CM goes well with Rifleman, doc, and I've heard some people even have success with Carbineer (they have lots of delays like posture downs/kds to use while your poisons munch away.
)
I'm starting to see lots of people dabble in CM and master Swordsman or another melee profession -- but given the skillpoints, you can't master a melee class AND CM, you'll have to dabble.
Rifleman/CM = insane mind damage.
Doc/CM = ultimate healer.
Carbs/CM = cripple with states/kd/posture down, while poisons eat away.
Melee/CM dabbler= Tank, poison, crack skulls.
And don't forget about warcry.
Those are the most common I see, anyway. Personally, I like Rifleman.

i was mcm/rifleman for about the last 7 to 8 months and im just now changing it up finally. if youre a pvper you probably know that CMs are generally the first to go down...before jedi, before docs, before anyone else. in any case, i decided i needed better defenses to hang anymore so im changing it up. in any case the temp i decided on was swordsman/4004cm/3000 doc. originally i was gonna go tkm/4004cm/3000 doc but changed to swords cause of an exceptional sword i realized i had
.
in any case, my reasoning is that when i make poisons and disease anymore, i generally dig into a shrinking supply of uber spider venom, so i use equally uber ranc bile to get my uses up around 250 on each pack. thus i need to be in close range to throw my packs...in any case, a melee prof made sense. also, when i make my packs now, i make sure the potency is above 200 to help combat the silly poison buffs i have to fight against. in any case, when im experimenting the potency up, im also experimenting the use down, so all of my packs i was using at master are already 75 use or below so it made sense to pick up a melee prof. i was going to keep the ranged healing speed tree but i opted to get some doc so i could heal poisons and fires off of me... (with any luck some uber rori fungus will shift in so i can get some fire blankets with low enough med use but if now....oh well)
for pve though, id say pick up cm/rifles...the mind heals are great with youre killing elders, krayts or any other "high level" mobs with your guildmates/friends/etc. and with master rifleman, if you can get +8 rifle speed and hit cap and find yourself a nice t21, youll do more damage than anyone to everything except stuff with 100% energy resists...
