Combat Medic Archive

I am working to be a Master DOC, Master CM, but I have come to the conclusion that it leaves me with no real combat skill, with the exception to my poisons, and diseases. If I were to pursue something else, what should I do with my last 18 points? Looking for suggestions. Thanks

use the rest in your pistol or carbine skills. I dont even use a gun durring combat, as the poisons are much more effective.

Just remember that you will spend many long hours doing crafting, there will never be an end to that. You can either keep you combat skills, or pick up novice artisan so you can still survey. Unless you have some friends or a guild that can help you gather resources you may need to hang on to that surveying abilty.

I picked up Novice scout so I could harvest meat. Lord knows we need enough of it.

Personally, carbine 4, pistol/rifle 1 and do a lot of grouping w/ scout parties when good meat pops (7k dant herbivore per hour w/ 3 BH's recently) and constantly bug people to survey for me. It takes a lot of networking to find resources, but dropping 8 harvesters on a nice spawn keeps me sorted for a LONG time. And of course, I'm constantly picking up odds and ends on the bazaar, typically good gases and liquid petro for generic requirements.

Hmm - is it worth get Scout->Exploration IV for running speed?

You can't get explore 4 with 18 points, but master combat medic grants +50 to terrain negotiation anyway (I think it's +50 at master).

Novice Artisan + Survey1 unless you have a guild or multiple contracted miners
