Doctor Archive

I am going to go ahead and say Doc will be easier just because the resources that the CM's need seem to be harder to harvest and harder to find on the Bazaar (at least on Flurry) If you are not going to master doc or cm then go with doc cause more vendors are out there for doc then there are CM. Doc will also work nicely with TKA since you would be able to buff yourself and pretty much make yourself a walking tank. I did Doc and CM together and the main thing I liked about CM was the area heals in a big party. I am sure with a good combat class with CM you might be someone to be reckoned with. I just don't see anyone but a gamer who plays a lot getting full potential out of CM.

Tonight I qualified for both Novice Doctor and Novice Medic, and after doing a decent amount of research Im still not sure which route I want to take. Im still not quite sure which would be better suited for me (TKA/Medic/Scout) in general, but one thing Im curious about is this:

When it comes to the Resources needed for buffing/poisoning,and the grinding involved to get to the point of buffing/poisoning,which profession (CM or DOC) is the LEAST pain to collect and grind?? I dont play as much as I used to, so I have to take into account how much time and effort goes into resource gathering and grinding between the two professions. So i guess what im asking is which profession requires less effort when it comes to resource gathering, and is the least time consuming when it comes to grinding for xp? Thank you for your suggestions!!

CM resources suck big time if you can't survey, and even if you can they are insane to get.

Doctor........just do it if you dont like it Try CM all you loose istime spent testing both out...but i say kind sir doctor

but if it were me a wookie Weaponsmith HMMM them bowcasters ROCK!!!!....................

or a wookie master dancer is always FUN at partys......

CMs need a lot more specific stuff then doctor for their high level gear (they ahve a complete 2nd set of advanced components as well).

Why do you guys say that, do CMs look for things besides the always asked for Avian and Herbivore meat? I find it interesting how you put that in the first post, that only a Hardcore/ Daily player would get the most out of CM, and like I said above, I dont play as often as I used to. So that kind of tells me something right there if you feel its for the Hardcore players. Thanks!I would love to do the poisons b/c youre right, it would be nice for area heals and poisoning, but like you also said being able to buff yourself when your a TK would be a sweet tank . Anybody disagree with their leanings towards Doctor?

I craft both doc's meds and CM's poisons/diseases and the CM stuff is MUCH worse in terms of resources. Here's a breakdown:

Doc's use:

Tatooine Fiberplast (always available)
Lokian Wild Wheat (always available)
Dantooine Berry Fruit (always available)
Talusian Water (always available)
Herbivore Meat (always available)
Class 4 Liquid Petrochem Fuel
Domesticated Oats (always available)
Dolovite Iron
Avian Meat
Reactive Gas (always available)

CM's use (in addition to some of the above):

Class 2 Liquid Petrochem Fuel
Yavinian Fiberplast (always available)
Class 1 Radioactive
Tolium Reactive Gas
Titanium Aluminum
Eleton Reactive Gas
Fungi (always available)
Insect Meat (always available)

As you can see, CM's are far more dependant on rare spawns (those that are not alwayts available). While CM's do not need any of the one's in the doctor's list to make poison or disease, they do need the first 6 in the doc list (or components made from them) to make their ranged and area stims.

Sweet posts and NICE list Obata! Its looking like doc for me, except i cant get that post out of my mind that said "What do CM get in return? Kings of PvP." Hmm...very interesting way of putting it.

Rawhead you'd never get this wookiee to start cuttin rug in the cantina, i dont care if my Holo said "Do it or die.", lol. Weaponsmith? Naw, the medical crafting has given me nightmares already:

I swear to god i had a dream the other night about a BEC, lol. I had to use a BEC for my car in my dream, rofl. This game is startin to affect my sanity

ROFL

Sweet post Chaice (i gave it a 5 star rating btw )! What you have looks right and makes sense, so Ill have to go back and double check my numbers from before. I thought both would fit, but I may have missed something. Thanks for the heads up!!

CMs have it sooo much harder resource-wise. Unless you are a masochist, take the easy road and stick with Doc.

btw you don't need to be TKM to be effective in PVE or PVP.
