Thread: Master doctor Combat medic?
Do you prefer to play solo? Master doctor/master CM is a great template, but it is largely a template that requires group play. Poisons + non-CH pet + marksman 4 skill + doctor buffs allow you to be reasonably effective in solo PvE, but no where near as effective as more CH and more weapons skill.
But if you don't mind grouping, the combination simply rocks. You can easily keep a group of 20 people and pets alive all by yourself if they have reasonable discipline (mainly that they don't run off).
It depends on your goals (as others have said). CM can be a great enhancement to a Master Doctor. (As CMs stand well enough on their own thank you very much as well). Bust as a Master Doc, looking to also be a field healer (and not worry about the poison/disease attacks) I ran up many of the trees (not crafting due to skill point limitations) and can buff, ranged heal, AE heal, and Rez - so become a good addition to any group.
