Thread: Assuming limited skill points, which is better? Wound Treatment or Medicine Use?
). So, which route would be better all around, which route would be more cost-effective when it comes to buff packs, and which route would make the best use out of the buff packs I can craft myself as a Master Chemist (Doctor |x|x|x|4|)?

wound treatment is better as long as you can use a nice stim b imo
Stims arent effected by Wound treatment mods, only wound packs, and buffs. Get the 0204 for cheap buffs, OR get 0024 and use higher level wound packs lol
I have a Rifleman / Creature Handler on the same server, so getting my own meat is not a problem; I won't be paying 100+ cpu for meat any time soon. 
Also, even if the pet stims are crappy compared to people stims, my CH doesn't have the skill points for Novice Medic, so those crappy pet stims will come in handy for him. Like I said, I won't be doing a lot of Doctoring, and I don't *want* big uber stat buffs (they're one of the most broken things in the game right now, and I won't use them); I just want something that gives me a good boost, that I can use whenever I want to without hunting down a Doctor. My BE has zero combat skills; he's a crafter and adventurer, and a Medic when the Mythical Combat Revamp makes Medics useful in normal combat again. He doesn't need or want game-breaking buffs to make him stupidly uber, he just wants something that will help him out when he's in the field. I can always use food and drink on topof it in a pinch. If I can get all the resources myself, and craft all the medicines myself, who's to say what's worthwhile for me to use, and what's not?
I got Master Medic for two reasons; one, to gain access to the Doctor crafting line and a few useful Doctor skills, and two, so that once they get around to fixing the combat system, when Medics are actually *useful* to people in combat, my BE can go on hunting trips and provide support. I won't be buffing other people very often at all, and I've been playing for many many months without ever using Doctor buffs, so having access to even a mediocre buff will work just fine for me.
