Im going for Doctor Carbineer, but Doc/Pistoleer Doc/Rifleman are very good also I have heard.

Master Doctor / Master Pistoleer works great for me. Migrate your Mind stats to the max along with your secondaries on Health and Action for armor wearing purpose's. Buff your stats to the max and put on a good set of composite armor and there is not too much that will stand in your way. Plus with the fast speed of pistol there is overall much less time between heals if necessary.

As for PvP this is a good combination for just about every damage type except fire as it can not be cured directly. Let a CM throw poison all he wants and you can cure it. You will never incap from disease in a battle unless you are already messed up as it acts way too slow so you have plenty of time to cure that after the fight.

I am a MD/MP as well and it does work very good in PvP. With some uber PvP armor there are only a few classes that can kill you

I would however recommend Master TKA and Master Doctor

A friend of mine has the same combination and it works insanly well with the KD

As a fun test, I dueled my two accounts against each other. Master smuggler vs master pistoleer/master doctor. As you might imagine, it was pretty sad for my smuggler. I put my pistoleer in peace mode. Then, for 10 minutes straight, I was spamming specials, trying to knockdown, doing everything I could to incap my pistol doc with no luck. My pistoleer was basically dodging, evading or outright avoiding a huge percentage of the attacks. Knockdown didn't work half the time. And all my pistoleer had to do was pop a stimpack every once in a while.

In this case, since my master smuggler doesn't have any other combat professions, she's not very effective for PvP, so this is a kinda extreme example, but it does give an idea as to the power of a master combat profession when paired with master doctor.

Teras Kasi. It's hard to find things you can't solo.

Going the TKA route myself. Having MUCH fun with hand to hand combat.

Almost makes me forget the complete aggrevation of having your pets poof in the middle of combat or simply stop fighting the Rebel NPC you are trying to kill so he can walk over to my and DB me. Master CH was at the same time the easiest cert to surrender and the most painful since the class could be great if the Devs every get around to fixing it.

I decided about a month ago to go TKA,I never havelooked back since. As a matter of fact, being a Master Doctor first (if you are able to buff) helps your progression through a combat profession. I am two skills away from Master TKA, and as the person who said before me, "there is nearly nothing I can't solo."

Piket Plains Walker Lairs all weekend, netting 250k. You have to do a lot of buffing to make that kind of money.

TKA/Doctor is sweet

max out your mind stats using migrateand then just buff your H and A stats and you are almost invincible

I have decided to drop Combat Medic and go MD-MTKA

Tired of being worthless in a fight, not being able to stand up for myself, always needing a friend/pet to take the brunt of the attack for me.

i'm a master doc and going for pikeman.

i probably would have gone for tk if i knew they werent going to fix pikeman!!! grr

but still, pikeman is working out pretty good for me. i think i will get something like the dizzy attack that TKA has, but not sure how powerfull it will be.

my friend is going for TKA, and when we go hunting we can do pikets all alone..so once we get master we should be set.

the only downside to this is PVP. i dont have any range attack. unless i get to that master commando and knock him/her down before they toast me, i have no chance!

i'm starting to wear good armor more often..it helps a lot.

Nobe your friendly Doc

What do you think is the best combat profession for a doctor, I figured CH for PvE cause you can heal your pet and take on about anything. But what about PvP any suggestions?

- I have a question. If you don't have the skill points to master TKA, but you can delve in a tree or two, is it worth it to go TKA, or remain Pistoleer? I am a 0030 Pistoleer right now, but I will eventually drop my 0040 Dancing to go for at least 0031 Pistoleer so I can knock stuff over. XD

- So in essence... is it worth it to delve in if I can't really master it..? Meaning is there a chance to do 1 - 2k damage (as I can with Stopping shot) and can I attack about every second and a half or so with specials?

- I know the defence modifiers would be great, and I would only need to carry one weapon.. and I wouldn't need the Meditate Tree since I'm a master doctor... so... what's the word? =)

No no.. what I'm asking is, is it better to be 0030 Pistoleer (well, potentially 0041 Pistoleer) or better to be 0030 (0041) Teras Kasi Artist (or some mixture of the trees)?
