Doh. Hit enter on accident. OK, I was wondering which would be better for PvP and PvE...Rifleman/Doc or Rifleman/CM.

Would you be mastering doc or cm? If not, 4XXX in each healing profession is good enough to keep you in batte. Going master is good if people die in your group and need a rez to get back up. Either is benficial, one for yourself, and the other for yourself and for the group. Going 4XXX allows you to have more skill points to dump into elsewhere making you a more utility player rather than being dependant on a role in a group. Sometimes being the rezzer in a large scale battle is better because you are more important in the long run than the next guy who is rooting.

All ranged doctors are bad people! Doctor should only be mastered or dabbled with melee, since it creates a hell of a tank

Yes, AOE snare and heals plus recon armor. Not to mention damage specials which Commando does not have.

hehe okay As far as I've heard a Commando's max damage cap is 1148 (Rifles 1190) and SAC is 100 (Rifleman 85?). With the Elemental Damage, we might do a little more damage, but no one ever notices. Also, Commando has no specials in it's own tree (zero). The specials are supposed to be built into the weapons. This means that we don't have a special that applies a damage multiplier (Like Rifleman's Headshot) on our own, but have to dabble in another profession if we want one. I hope this helps you out more. It sure helped me

I have a template question as well....

I'm thinking about one of these two template combinations and Im not really sure which would be best at the moment. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Template 1)

Master Commando / Master Bounty Hunter /4210 Medic

Template 2)

Master Commando / Master Smuggler / Novice Doctor

I believe they could both be fun templates. The smuggler template is what im leaning towards the most right now.

Do any of you have experience with these types of templates and if so what did/do you think of them? As you can probably tell, I believe you almost have to have some healing in any template even though I know lots of people that dont, I just cant handle not having it in one of my templates.

It depends, if you're into a lot of large scale PvP then smuggler mezzes with the ASL are always fun If you're usually on your own then go with the MBH for more single target damage (Critical Shot and Torso Shot).
