well, for solo'ing in pve the medic would help you nicely.. especially if you migrate your stats to be minimal in str/quick/focus , like 200 above minimal in const/stamina/willpower and 200 above minimal in health,action..and put all the rest of points in mind.


that way you can powerboost yourself up real high (50% of mind added to all 3 primary ham bars) and you get real high mind, which is the only ham bar you cannot heal with stimb's.


im human and my stats now are migratingto 600/400/600 health, 600/400/600 action, 1200/400/400 mind. (i used to have all at 600 even while i grinded tka)


thisshould me to powerboost for 1200/400/600 health and action bars and i believe, 1800/400/400 mind.


now, the secondaries are at my minimum, but then again, i fistfight with no VK's and my big damage dealer will be the flame dot plus my punches.. so in essence my ham costs are negligible.. whereas my regeneration is rather good (when i was 600's in all, i could tank 2 bracakstets at once with my 52% ubese suit and I would actually heal up two thirds of the ham i lost in between their attacks..and this includes my vk-less ham cost and their damage).


and there's always a 1000+ boosting tattooine sunburn TKA's best friend.



For my ranged im taking smuggler pistol 3. ill stay Mcommando,Mtka for a while, at least a month after the patch vehicles are put in.


oh, and of the above templates I mentioned, I did have a master fencer and a novice pistoleer help me test the 4 bleed stacked + 2 fire dot stack theory..



we found a rancor (like 15k ham), i flame cone1'd and single2'd it, the pistoleer stacked his bleeds, the fencer stacked his.. and i let it hit me with peace on as the bleed and fire dot did its work. timed it.


then I got another rancor and just fire dot stacked it (same rancor type of course)... timed it.


the pistoleer and fencer bleeds, stacked, only shaved off 1 fire dot tick off the killing time.


So unless its one of those 500k ham krayt dragons, i dont think this will help at all.

i find panic shot, feign death AND low blow to be more useful than pistoleer specials. fat good it will do you to fire a high damage shot at an elite ranged class (including bh) when they shoot you back for the same.. its a fight you'll likely lose due to the accuracy they have and you dont.


oth, panic shot them.. or low blow them... just takes 1 hit and their arses are yours to roast.

Exactly what I was thinking...Smuggler has the pistol specials we lack and many are basically asking for in regards to our LP...something to make them stumble...trip up once and your roasted my friend..muhahahahah

hehe, I've gone through a similar line of thinking. I got master weaponsmith typing up a good dose of skill points, meaning I can't do TKA, but I've gone with 0/0/4/0 smuggler, and 0/2/4/0 commando. I wish I had the skill points for novice medic, and would gladly go with 0/0/3/0 smuggler and 0/0/4/0 commando to do so, but I'm 1 point short that way.Seems to work pretty well, especially when grouped with a master brawler (ranged KD + warcry2 is pretty sick). Basically I'm trying to get everything you guys are, but with a much more limited skill pool.
