Doctor Archive

I am posting this here and on the CM boards.

Currently I am Master CM going for some carbineer skills. I also am a master surgeon with 2 blocks of doc crafting.

I group almost exclusively, and am wondering if it would be more beneficial if I were to master both doctor and cm and stick with carb specialist, or stick with what i have and put points in carbineer. The problem currently with my usual group is that if something attacks me I die and then everyone else does. I am debating if I would stay alive longer with combat skills, or with doctor buffs. Any ideas/suggestions?

buffs will make you last a little longer.

dropping carbineer and picking up tka will make you last a little longer.

if lasting longer is you only concern you should research skills with defense bonus's

Lasting longer doesnt mean that I just stand there - if I can crippling shot kill anything agroed on me, I last longer 8).
