I am currently a 2/0/0/1 Rifleman and Master Ranger now. Not too happy with this template since Ranger doesn't really give me much that would help me experience the game better like fighting tougher mobs, etc.
I am looking to become a Master Rifleman and Master Combat Medic, especially since I found out that Master Combat Medics get +50 Terrain Negotiation, which is exactly the same as a Master Scout gets. Makes running up the hills/cliffs on Dathomir effortless.
I'm wondering if anyone else has become Master Rifleman and Master Combat Medic, and if so, how do you like it. Also, do you use it for primarily PvP (which I would assume) or PvE (which is what I'll be using it for). How do you use it while attacking a mob? Area Mind Poison and then HeadShot? This sounds like a very potent combination.

As stated by others: Rifelman/CM great for PvP... forget PvM.
The only thing where CM can help you with is when you're a low level Rifelman... then you can use the area poisons to weak all the mobs in an area (while you are running like crazy) and then kill them all with one shot. As long as you only fired one shot you got pure combat xp (getting 3k combat xp per mob is satisfying
). Sorry to say thats going to change soon (they are removing the granting of Combat xp from poisons/deseases).
Against high end mobs (+30k ham) you will find yourself only using your rifel. Or if you have time: you can stack half a dozzen diferent poisons on the mob... then your poisons might do noticable damage.
When I decided to go CM I liked the idea of the profession (being a lab worker in RL aswell) and thought that it would fit well with Rifelman. All my friends tried talking it out of me (because of the extrem mind cost of both professions) but look at it now... one of the most deadly PvP combos
For PvM I would consider Doctor (something I might do myself in near future). A doctor/Rifelman can buff himself and use the strongest medicins out there (cures, heals, rezzing). Just an Idea

I have found I can outdamage most large groups at the kimo spawn by myself with a damage T21 headshot3-ing a kimo i have hit with very nice poison/disease. They accredited DoT damage to looting rights now, and with the Kimo's armor those poison/disease ticks really add up.

Hmm true. Didn't think about that one. Beeing a Cm was the only way for me killing a night sister with 100% energy resistance (infact resistance to everthing I could shoot at her with any rifel).
But then again... I wasn't able to kill her... she droped down to 1Ham... and I just couldn't land that final blow to finish her off

on lowca i know of guilds where close to half of thier members are master CM/rifleman. its sucks to come across these double buffed, double sliced pvp monsters in combat. using mind poison and mindshot you can kill a guy in less than10 secs.

Especially post patch I think my template will be most effective. 4004 Rifleman, MCM, 2040 Doc. Any CM rifleman you meet in combat wont be able to touch you, poison cures
