Thread: what other classes are you besides doctor?

im a doctor/ riflemen and it works pretty well if you dont take into consideration all the problems riflemen are having. since i can buff myself, i put all my stat points into mind so when i go into battle youre looking at a tank with huge stats and alot of mind, but agian that is negated by rifleman problem so it balances its self out.
There in lies the reason why I have made a change of profession decision yesterday. Rifleman is so jacked up, it's not even funny. And not worth my time and effort to become strong in it. The breaking point was yesterday when I dueled a Master Marksman and I lost even tho I got 4 headshots on him with a decent damage laser rifle [35-400 or so]. Love that 75% reduction in PvP damage, thanks SOE!
So now I'm dropping personal combat all together and picking up CH some... I'll contribute alot more to big game hunts in having two strong pets and being able to stay close for Doctoring stuff. Hate to say it, but SOE has turned me into yet another cookie cutter character. I look forward to my next character, a BH/CH/Medic *rollseyes*
Im a Bio Engineer in addition to a doc. I actually got BE first, but that was mostly beacuse I got Org Chem before the other skills. Why a BE? Well, I get to do other things then healing, and the prospect of crafting animals sounded like fun to me. Besides it seemed like with so many CH in the game, the need for BE stuff was signifigant.
Down side is that I am bearly more then Novice in either of them, so Ill just have to see how it goes.

I am a Rifleman/Doctor, i find it works quite well for me. I put a mind-bender and distract shot on someone, and then go back to healing. Then you just let the Bleeds do the work for you. Besides, most people don't usually have high mind. The key is, you have to shoot someone who is batteling someone else, so the don't aggro on you right away. Using this method, you don't use much mind. To use less mind when ur healing, there's one obvious answer, make better stimpacks

For the most part I tend to be a soloist. Given that I think that Doc/TK is the best solo combo. I'm a Mon Calmari and have my mind stats maxed out. When I run missions I slap buffs on all of my action/health stats and go wreak havoc. For the most part I can take out just about anything that is thrown at me. Oh btw atm I'm a master doc, and 1-2-4-2 in TK. I've managed to take out 2 revenous tortons out at one time, and I've taken out 4 storm troopers out another time.

Master Teras Kasi + Master Doctor... All I can say is wow... PvE and PvP.... just dont try and solo much in PvP though bring friends. Buffs on a TKA who is wearing nicely sliced newly experimented Composite armor. O M G
I don't need to go into a huge long post about why. Being able to heal while tanking is awesome. Just make sure to have max (Or close to) mind stats. Since you can healhealth and action non stop in battle you do not have to have huge Health and Action HAM bars. (But dont mistake what I am saying, You still need Health and Action secondary stats). After battle meditate is very nice for regening. (But only if higher skill level).
Anyways I am not in the mood to go into all the details of why I think Doctor compliments TKA best. I am both a Master TKA and MAster Doctorand speaking from personal experience in both PvE and PvP I have not regretted it one bit. Realize your limitations in different situations and don't be stupid.
