Looking for a review of this, how is it, How do you hold in PvP? How good is it for PvE?
Its between this and Pikes/Master rifles, which i really don't want to grind, so convince me otherwise!
Thanks

Moment... you ask in the Doctor forum if you should drop doctor for a pikes/rifleman template?
*makes a notice*
btw: doctor/anything is always better.

because you can heal states and poison, disease, fire. every good (non-jedi*roleeyes*) pvp-player i know has at least doc 2000 in his/her template.
and if you go to places like the genolab the ability to cure intimidate for example is also very handy in pve...
at the end you can also help others with your ability to rezz or areacure. (not to mention to buff yourself/others.)
so if you have to decide between pikes/rifleman or doctor/pikes the decision is simple. personaly i would go for doctor/rifleman, but thats just me and you have to find out what you like more (melee or ranged).

Used to have MDoc/MPikes.... changed a bit since then but really enjoyed it - prepare yourself for lots of wounds asa pikeman - obviously that's not a problem for a doctor though

I've got a Doc/Fencer and absolutely love it. ups beingdoc fencers are probably one of the hardest characters to kill, leaving you free to help keep your group alive, be it pvp or pve.
Downside of doc/fencer isthe limited damage output. Fencer dots are much more rare, and not as powerful as pikesman dots. straight dmg is pretty slow in pvp vs any kind of good stacker right now.
1 v 1 my doc/fencer usually feels pretty gimpy dmg wise, unless i break out somthing better then a janta knife for dots or my opponent doesn't have mitegation/intimidation. A pikesman/doc is much stronger in this situation if you have some accuracy mods and strong pikesman dots. Pikesman has some nice state defenses too, but in group pvp a pikesman doc can and will be killed quickly. You're posing two threats, that of healing team-mates and that of applying strong dots, and pikesman docs don't have enough defense to back up being the target of a multiplayer attack (unless somehow the group doesn't have a doc in it and you can fire dot everyone and go hide until they die)
based on your two choices it seems like defense isn't really one of your concerns though. Pikes/rifleman each don't have much defense. but pikes has more. main difference between the two is ranged vs melee and the fact that pikesman has slightly more defenses. I'd reccomend pikesman but i'm pretty defensive minded. I think rightfully so though, I know i could kill a doc/rifleman 1 v 1 quite easily, but a pikesman/doc would be much more difficult.

I am a Master Pike/Master Doc. I enjoy it SO much I plan to never, ever change professions again. Have been so for almost a year and it just plain rocks. PvE is NO problem. I can buff myself, heal myself, and as a Pike, I can kick some real creature butt

There's nothing quite so satisfying as the area-KD taking out a mob... realise it's not quite the forum for this but last time I looked on the pike boards there was too much anger...

Pikeman is the only profession that couldn't hit the ground if they dropped their weapons.

i just recently lowered my master doc/master pike to doctor4440/masterpike/swordsman0200 so that i may use powerhammer (blast attack)as well
yesi have a NSEL but its weak and TOO expensive compared to powerhammer. anyone have comments or recommendations for my template?
