Im looking at getting either:
4040 medic with novice doctor
or
0400 medic with 4000 cm
to supplement my characters master combat professions.
Now by heal per minute could anyone tell me which is the winner?
I realize that the doctor route only gets me 35 healing efficiency, while the cm route nets me 65. Though the multiplier for Bacta Jab as opposed to Advanced Bacta Spray/Advanced Bacta Toss is what would really give weight to those numbers.
In addition to the above, doctor lets me heal wounds and buff my HP by 300 give or take. While CM would give me a decent melee/ranged defense boost and a somewhat reliable DoT. The latter being more important to me.
thanks for any constructive responses you're willing to give

I have not compaired the two builds but I think the TC server is still up so you can go there and give it a try and see how you like it.
I dont think you will notice much a difference in damage healing per time with either 4000 CM or N. Doc (my money though would be 4000 CM is better).
If your doing this to add onto your other skills I would suggest 0004 CM. The paralize and the action debuffare rather nice at the moment. Or pick up 0400 and grab some nice dots. I suggest these as the added offense will be more helpful than the added damage healing compaired to 4000 CM to Novice CM.

CM is currently far betterat healingthan Doctor. I believe that theBacta Jab healing power needs to get increased threefold to fix this balance issue.
The bacta infusion's heal over time is great, but given the choice between that and bacta toss & bacta spray, well its not hard to see why nobody wants to get doc skills anymore.
Also please note the followingmajor imbalance between medical and combat professions:
Combat professions need only grind 3 trees of skills (plus their 1mil for master) and they get the 4th tree "for free" since they are able to collect combat xp while earning their weapons xp. Medical professions need to grind 4 full trees plus the 1mil master box.

Oh, I just now read your "answers to my 3 questions" thread, and I see that these issues were addressed. Looks like Doctor will NOT get balanced to a point where it is a viable skillpoint investment.
Thats a shame, but I guess thefree respec makes it a good time to move on. I've been a master doctor for longer than any other single profession in this game...sucks to see it become obsolete.
