Hey i am currently a TKM ranger 0030 and I am getting ready to go MCH. Will TKM be a good compliment to CH. Or would I be better to go anything else.

If you like TKM stay TKM/CH. TBH CH is almost a complete waste of skillpoints though. I'm TKM/CH and I like it. *shrug*

If you pick a melee prof, and have CH, be prepared for mobs to aggro on you part of the time. This happens much less if you have a ranged profession like rifles. Rifles is best, because you get ranged, and get high armor piercing, high damage weapons (On my server, I have 4 laser rifles, usable at marksman rifles 2, that have medium AP and over 500 damage, no powerup). Also, if you get MCH, you can also get ranger 0440, rifles 0034 (Which I believe gets you flushing 2, the acid rifle, and the berserker rifle), and novice medic, which is ALWAYS useful. Thats going to be my template (Depending on if I can get the bloody veteran reward to work right, the CSR's are being spectacularly unhelpful) because I have a gorax berserker rifle with damage like a T21 and HAM like a pistol (A nice pistol) and I wanna stick the anti-decay kit on it to make it perfect.
If you do go CH/rifles, heres a tip. Get a high HAM/High kinetic resist pet, get in a solo group (Yes, I know a lot of people hate them), then do either Scharnaffs on corellia, or Bolle bols on naboo. Make sure to have a lot of high quality pet stims on hand to heal your pet tho. You will get a lot of good rifles XP, and a good deal of CH xp as well, at the same time. Plus, if the naboo resources are any good at the time you do your missions, you can make some extra cash on the side.

I think your off-setting combat prof is ALWAYS going to be a personal preference. i personally don't like the up-close combat of TKM, and my original plan when i joined SWG was to go nov smug/MCH.....so i went up the pistol tree and ended up going master pistoleer for a while. since then, i decided to take master BE and had to give up all my pistoleer skills.
this last week, i've been helping a new player who's decided to go combat medic and was trying to decide what weapon to use, and i recomended rifle so that he could stay out of the ugliness of combat and let PITA (my rancor) keep the mobs at arm's length. it was then that i reallized that i've been using the wrong weapon this whole time, and last night began the transition to rifles from pistols. i made rifle III in one night taking four Large Fambaa lair missions, using a BE pet with 10k HAM and only 100 dam (you'll want low damage so that you get the larger percentage of the damage in the end. high damage from your pet may equal a quicker kill.....but a lot less xp for you).....and i just headshot them all night. ended up getting the lazer rifle and put a speed increase on it so that i was hitting every three seconds.
switching to rifles is the best thing THISmch has ever done!!!!!!!

if you stay a few meters behind your pet you can still launch all your specials and you can get agroed on a lot less. Also if they do agro on you there is always kd and pc to let you withdraw and let them reagro on your pet.
