Simple Q: MCM vs MCH who does more damage vs a single target, meaning who would kill it quicker?

I ask because im currently an MBH + carbs 0400. I can master either CM or CH and still have some kind of healing ( in the case of CH ). I dont do much PvP ( very rarely ). So vs high level targets solo with either of these professions I was looking to augment the above mentioned template. Some extra added damage to help the fight finish faster.

Thanks!

well if u use ur pets right MCH can be a great way to go as i learned of my acient flyer it has agreesion L3 so it take agro away from me use embold pet and u got alot of ham with it and if u are novice doc u can bost it to very close to 8k ham so u can heal it while i takes damage for u and still shot at w/e u are killing and if its a flyer i think it hits close to 100 damage or mroe then that not really sure
and even on PVP if u bild ur pet right it can do some damage and take alot of damage, then either get a medical droid or a attack droid do u can either do more damage or get even more healing power
and also if u are an impy u can whip out a trooper or a AT-ST

Good stuff! Thanks heaps. I'm having ALOT of difficulty chosing between them. I managed CM4202 was quite frustrated about thyroid rupture not working, and the DoTs didnt seem to do much damage for mind they chewed up 9 If they stuck ). I tried a dbl chv mark and could'nt land a DoT. I fell back to my original template technique Carbs + heals and it pulled me through. The attempts to land DoT's seemed to kill my mind as well. That made me leary as well when the dbl chv marks can drain your mind in heals alone.

I like the idea of pets but seem to lose ALOT of healing power with that template. ( drop from 1100-1200 to approx 700 - 800 )

In short Im torn.

At the very minimum I want to keep MBH + Carbs 0400 + ( healing enough to survive a dbl chv mark ). Can MCH pets compensate in damage for the 300-400 point drop in healing?

I guess im looking for something different and fun, that adds a lil bit of content without sacrificing effectiveness in MBH ( PvE ).

I may be asking too much.

Thanks for all the patience and help!

A MCH with the right pets and a another combat profession can probably do more damage per second than any other combo in the game. However, as to the implied question you're asking (whether MCM or MCH is better for taking down Jedi), I cannot say. You can read my guide to Jedi hunting as a MCH here - maybe it will help.
