hi all
Ive been a master doc for about 4 months now on shadowfire, and ive recently gotten into pvp.
For those master Doc's that pvp, what has given you the most success?
-doc/rifles
-doc/fencer
-doc/swords
-doc/pike
-(or any combo ive not thought of)
I'm never overt alone, and I never pvp alone, always in a group that has melee tanks
(i plan to harvest when those ultra hide/meat spawns pop up, and for my tank I have an ATST)
thanks all

Master Doc / Fencer would probably be the best pvp wise , but when I was Master Doc / TKM that was solid gold...
I mean no one could dizzy , kd , poison , fire , disease , bleed or anything on me ... and TKM is great for pvp ...
Also tkm is nice for casual pve as well .... but for total pvp I would say fencer / doc even though ive never been fencer I hear its the best pvp proffesion...
Rifles wouldn't be as good as the toughness is low and you would find urself healing more then attacking ...

Fencer is not the best PVP profession, it's only the best when mixed with OTHER melee profs, it has such high defenses yet low offence, it can't stand on its own. If you're going PVP, do rifles. Headshot will own you opponents, plus if the rifle has low toughness, what better prof to mix it with than doc since you can heal your own damage anyways. And for the love of man, don't do pikes. They suck at everything. It's the only profession that couldn't hit the ground if they dropped their weapon. Swords is awsome for PVE, but not at PVP so that leaves you with Rifles.

Hehe, Pikeman isn't that bad 
. I'm currently going for pike/doc, used to be pike/tkm. You'll be able to use dots and not worry about enemy dots lol. Speed cap and get a good lva...hehe

How will i not have to worry about the other guys dot's? Is that an inate pikeman ability? Or because of the doctor's poison cures? This isnt the first ive heard about this,and im a little confused about the matter...once in a while i get hit with a 400 mind poison lance and i just cant survive it...

Yeah...Doctors can heal poison/disease/fire...So basically you can piss the other guy off when he tries to mind fire/poison/disease you by healing the dots away, and then slapping dots on him lol. And if you don't want to use dots, theres some nasty 500-1000+ max damage pikes you can loot. I would definitely NOT want to get hit by a speed capped pikeman with a 1000 max damage pike, and further adding to the pain with dots rofl.

Fencer and Doc is probably the combination that will net you the longest lifespan.If you want to be an effective and offensivelyviable fencer you probably need to invest in good acklay bonesotherwise your ap0 will get killed by stun armor.
Rifleman/Doc kinda blows b/c there arelots of melee nowadays and they'll eat you upsince you won't have mitigation. At least with fencer you can take thatikallo (or whatever) and dodge most of the shots that come your way.
Or just go CM/Doc and laugh...

It all depens in the likes/skills and the gear....but if the master rifle/doc has not the novice brawler for intimidate/warcry i think he will go down most of the times 1:1against an master swords...

i have a 300-350 stun baton already, and killer armor, plus some nice nightsister looted pikes, so doc/fencer or doc/pikes is already possible
but i do love rifleman
...im never alone when im overt and or pvping, so i have melee tanks to stand there and take it for me
how many out there who are doc/rifleman actually stay alive longer than 30 seconds in pvp? what race are you?
the rifleman grind was aweful...i dont want to grind it AGAIN just to learn its a losing combo in pvp, which is my focus with this toon
g'night all

I have PvPed a few times as Doc/Rifles now, and it's actually a pretty good combo. I've never been a healer before, and always been melee so it's a little difficult to get used to, but I sure see the potential
However, if you plan to do group combat (as it seems) Fencer would most likely fit the best because the enemy will have a harder time bringing you down. You won't be able to do much damage, but if you have Riflemen or such backing you up it shouldn't be much of a problem.
Doc/Rifles is not 'ultimate' in group PvP because the enemy is likely to choose you as one of the first targets (after the CMs...) and you will go down pretty quick due to your lack of defenses.
But yeah, solo I'd take Doc/Rifles over any combo

I've been doc/pike, tkm, swords, rifles, cm, and pistols at one point or another.....what can I say, I get bored 
doc/tkm, doc/rifles, and doc/cm will give you the best results with little input. doc/pike and doc/swords both have little defences and are really only good if you spend the mil per point (ahazi's economy is wacked) for speed tapes. Plus you will need to loot an awesome 1k dmg LVA for pikeman and get a really good acklay ph (900+ max) for swordsman while speed capped to even stand a chance.
the other combos have drawbacks too. doc/rifles kills your mind. you will need to max your mind stats out 1100/950/950 if your human, have mind buffs and eat 2 400+ brandy to stop from killing your own mind. doc/cm has no defences and no real offence. doc/tkm is the most solid of these combos imho, but doc/rifles has brought me the most pvp rating.
hope this helps
