I have done nothing with medical profession. 1st holo- carbineer, 2nd holo-smuggler, 3rd holo- markman, 4th holo- combat medic. Not sure if I need to master medic or just one tree to get the medical xp. Can someone please give me info here. I would love to finish this profession this weekend. Trying to beat publish 9 Thanks.

Master Carbineer, Smuggler, Marksman, and soon to be Combat Medic (I hope)

just do all the medical profs...

even if you finish your CM holo without getting master medic you're not gonna unlock. And you're probably not gonna unlock within the first 15. You have to start doing them one by one...

My advice is to do them all starting with medic. Best way to get medical xp is with the buffs so you'll have to have at least 3 doctor boxes...

Good luck... you're gonna need it!

Would not it be more intelligent to start with the markman professions since I had carbineer and markman and smuggler first? I have dropped carbineer, and don't want to get it back, so I'll probably go the route of master combat medic to master medic to doc or something like that... I know I won't unlock, but don't I have to finish the 4th holo to open a fifth silent or is the 4th supposed to open? Did I get lucky? Is that possible? Just curious..

Thanks for input.

You need to master medic before you can Master CM. You need Ranged Supprt IV and master medic, before you can even think about mastering CM. After you have mastered CM go for Doc as medical xp all goes the same way apart from CM crafting which is different to Doc crafting.

Ok, so you're saying it's not just one tree like Smuggler you have to get to unarmed 4 and pistols 4? I find that hard to believe. I would believe that you have to get to medical xp level 4 in one column and i have combat 4, so what's the story... Can't see doing all the Medic Mastering if necessary. Do 4 holos unlock a force slot? Or, do I have to do a 5th that will/might be silent?

Thanks for all the input. Much appreciated.

you have to think beyond the 4th holo...

i think you should do commando and maybe BH since you have/had master marksman. Thenpistoleer and rifleman. You canleave CM and Squad lider for a while cause i'll have enough combat xp to get the ranged support line from marksman anytime after...

You can leave the 4th holo for a while and if you are lucky enough you can unlockwith it. Theoreticaly you can unlock with a holo. There are at least 2 cases I know. I don't think you were lucky to have 4 holos. The 5th holo is silent in 99.999% of the cases sodo not hurry to do it.

My advice: do all the marksman tree so you can forget about it and then maybe do all entertaineer (be aware dancer and musician takes time) and then doall the medical ones (including CM). If you are lucky enought you might unlock in less then 15.

Good luck and go back to grinding now...

I'm not sure I follow. I have cm for my 4th holo so i should master that since I can master it in a week or so if i work hard.. .maybe if i don't i still can... either way, i have to do that with the .1% chance that my 5th holo will tell me what to do... and, bh and that other prof you mentioned are brutal!! but, i'll see what happens and keep you updated... here's hoping for a force sensitive slot to open soon!!!

Plus, Since my holos went carbineer, smuggler, markmen, combat medic, i can assume, slightly maybe, that my force slot will open with another basic after combat medic... it's possible in a randomized game such as this...

i know what u mean. I left BH myself. I was praying that's not my silent one. I'm working on my 13th which will be doc. Then 14 - CM and 15 - Bio Eng. Medic and Doc are not that difficult. You can finish medic in a few hours. All you have to do is find someone willing to tumble for you. I have a healing macro at every 5 seconds now that I'm master medic. I can make around 30k medical xp in an hour. With the help of some brandy of course. 30k an hour is still not fast enoughtthough since all the 4th boxes are 60k xp. But it's not too bad either.... Better xp with buffs if you have a doc friend willing to help you...

Good luck! And btw read the CM faq....

Look up the professions. I am a Master CM, so I know what you need to do to get it. You need Master Medic and Ranged support IV of Marksman in order to get novice CM. Check out the FAQ as mentioned above it explains all the you need to do in order to be CM. It's an elite profession based on Medic with a ranged aspect, hence the support tree from Marksman. Best of luck though. I've been CM for a long time now, and I'll never drop it. I'm one of the few who took it so I can heal my guildies whilst on hunts, and not just to own and spoilPvP.
