Hello all,

I need the advise of wise and masterful doctors.
I'd like to start a new character on a server and
would like to become either a Master Doctor
or Master Combat Medic.

Either way I'd still like to do a little combat with this character.

Having said the above:

What species make the best medics, and why?
Any other adivce you might give an aspiring doc?

Thanks!

This can also depend on your play style. If you like to help others in the heat of battle and try to keep your armor clean, I would go for Master Combat Medic. You can stay out of danger and toss heals and poisons from 40M away (very helpful for groups). You could even pick up Rifleman to go with it. If you want to get down and dirtyMaster Doctor/Pistoleer is very popular, as is MD/TKA. With the ability to lay a few buffs down do give yourself more bite. I personally like being on the member of the group that everyone wants to protect. As a Master Doctor/Combat Medic, I can range heal, poison, disease, revive, enhance, drag, and cure with the best of them. The group I normally go out with knows that if I die, the group is dead, and they will sacrafice themselves to save me (great feeling). As for a race, pick what you want. Zabraks and Mon Cals have mind advantages which is needed for the medical sciences. However a Bothan that can lay the healing down as well as the hurting would be great too.

The Zabrak's are great for healing mind, but I went with a Mon Cal (although I originally started as an artisan, not a medic, but that's beside the point). I believe Mon Cals get a bonus to the mind pools. Honestly, either one is good as a doctor, but there's really no reason you can't use any species and be a good doctor.

When you start, I'd balance your pools somewhat (although favoring mind is always a good idea). As you move up into doctor, however, I'd recommend maxing out your Mind/Focus/Willpower pools and dropping everything else down. There are a couple reasons for this.

First, as a doctor, you can enhance everything but mind. Therefore, you can enhance the pools that you dropped to make them as high, if not higher, than your mind pool. Also, as a doctor, you can easily heal those pools - it's that mind pool that makes all the difference.

Second, dancer/musician buffs work on a percentage, unlike Doctor buffs. A mind buff from a master dancer will double your mind pool. That means that, if you have 900 mind, you'll end up with 1800 mind for the duration of the buff (likewise for Focus and Willpower). However, if you're like me and have your mind maxed out to 1300 points, you'll be at 2600 mind for the duration of the buff.

After using enhance D's on yourself, you'll find that your mind pool (at 2600) is probably still the smallest pool you have out of health, action, and mind - and that's a good day.
