Anyone docs out there that fight in the GCW besides just buffing?


I'm just about master pistoleer but I just get destroyed by anything in melee.I picked up fencing and currently its at novice and I take a lot less damage plus the melee and ranged defense is greater then pistol.


I was going to go Fencer/Pistol combo and just stay a little under master medic but that combo will probably get nerfed and I like being a doctor...


I just want to see if there are any successful PvP docs out there...

I just hit novice Doc and currently I'm a Master Rifleman. You should try Rifleman out with Doc. Rifleman are one of the best PvP professions in the game IMO. The grind to MRM may seem long but if you give it a chance don't give up. The payoff comes once you hit master. I have found that MRM and Doc is a great PvP combo simply because you can max your mind stats (rifleman eats the mind pool away) and just keep yourself buffed 24/7. Just a suggestion

Of course Master Doc combo'd with any fighting profession is going to be more dangerous (in effect) than others with the ability to give yourself a great buff, and not needing to heal until 1000hp (or more) are dropped you can stay in battle much longer.


I am currently, Master Doc, Fencer 0-3-3-2 and it is really good. I don't dodge as much as I thought I might, but I spend *most* of my time grinding out on dath. The times I have participated in PVP I did good and took down a Master TKA. Single most gratifying moment I had So in response, yes it is a good combination. Then again, so is MDOC/(put what you want here)

In my opinion after six monthsas adoctor/carbineer, doctor + melee profession is weaker in PvP than doctor + ranged profession. Simply because melees can be kited in PvP.


Doctor + melee is better for PvE because mobs aren't smart enough to stay out of melee range.

I am master doctor 0/2/0/1 fencer and I love it so far. I have high lvl composite and I buff myself before everytrip and my mind is migrated up to 1000 base anyhow. I can go to tusken and tank for every ranged character unless I get 3-4 high level guys on me. It's sweet, but the armor decays like a )(#*$. Add some fishak surprise and crates of muon and I'm good to go!

I'm a doc fencer though not master in both..I think its decent for pvp but if your going for the best melle/doc combo for pvptka isbetter. You don't even have akd as a fencer unless you take master brawler though dizzy/lunge1 works ok. Tka has dizzy/knockdown in one hit whichs means faster killing not to mention they can hit the mind pool if they choose and also have all the utility hits that fencer has except bleeds. You choose...bleeds or the ability to target any ham, have a kd and the meditate line.


Pve is about the same though..the fencer may even edge the tka here because the cob is more effective(though tka cob is being fixed)and bleeds are good against high resist/ar things. If they ever add a point to pvp other than decaying your items faster and smack talking your oponent I'd switch to tka in a heartbeat.

I am a master doctor who dropped master pistoleer to try to master fencer (holo). So far i am 1/3/0/2 in fencer. Comparing the two at this point i would have to say pistoleer is the way to go. Defenses are great in pistoleer and weapon damage is very good with krayt pistols. Maybe when i get to Master Fencer i will change my mind but i doubt it.

im a master doc, 2233 fencer and i think it works well, i have taken down some high level tk the thing is strategie and with fencer you get a stun weapon which most composite doesnt have resistances to. if you use cob, plus your dodge modifiers youll be alright its all your playing style though

Don't forget your entertainer buffs (if you can find any that are not /afk).
