Thread: Best Combat Profession to match with Doctor?
I love fencer/doc although I do miss guns and hate it when I'm kited. If I did it all again I think I'd go rifle, with good brandy, synthsteak, snowcake to hit those pesky defencestackersand dodge food. As fencer I'm always running to and from trouble and this does waste a lot of time but tanking does rock as doc!!
I'd be more concerned about my mind with the ham of some of those rifles but apart from that its the deadliest combat class/combo if you know how to use a ranged weapon properly. Throw in a mind fireweapon and you'll be a CM/Melee nightmare

If you want to kill krayts, you want a rifleman. Nobody does more damage than the heavy AP of the t21. The same is true for almost every heavy armor target. They're pretty damn good for most other things too. One exception is nightsisters, since a lot of them are immune to all rifle damage types (spellweavers, protectors, etc). Rifleman is also an excelent choice for pvp.
If you want good damage and good pve versatility, go with swordsman. On heavy armor targets like krayts or ns elders they do less damage than a rifleman (since power hammer is only medium ap), but they have what I would consider to be better damage types. The damage types gives them a little more versatility. They're better tanks than rifleman too, but that's usually not an issue with good armor and stims.
TKA is a pretty good profession, but meditation is pretty redundant. It also suffers from the lack of damage types and lack ap. That means there's a lot of stuff that you just can't hurt very well (anything high kinetic resist, or heavy armor).
Fencer is a great defensive profession, and pretty good in pvp thanks to acklay stun batons. PvE capability suffers due to lack of good ap weapons.
Pistoleer is much the same as fencer, good defense, but no offense.
yeah, IF the rifleman grind didn't suck so damn hard, and IF the availability of top quality t21's and jawa's wasn't so slim, i would be a rifleman for sure. if i had millions and millions to buy weapons with, i see no reason why rifleman/doc isn't the best possible choice.
but still, tkm/doc is a ton of fun. i really enjoy it. and i kill most things as fast, and in many cases faster, than master riflemen in pve.
riflemen kill me in pvp
advanced strafe from 50m just sucks.
