Hi Docs,
I'm looking for a little advice here. Currently I am Master Carbineer with Novice Doc and need to decide how to progress.
I've already decided to be a support character for other combat classes (I hardly ever solo) hence my choice of Carbineer but I wish to add some Doctor skills to the mix too.
I don't want to become a Doc crafter so I won't be able to make Master Doc. I do want to be able to buff and rez my group mates. I'm not really interested in sitting outside Coronet starport buffing my time away.
So with this in mind I'm thinking of going 0220. Will not hitting Master Doc give me any significant disadvantage? I understand that BE clothing will help me - can you get BE clothing for Wookiees? I realise I will need a Medical Droid also - which type is best? I have seen R2's andMed Droids (from Empire) about - is there any difference? Could I get my existing Probot modded for Medical Use?
With 0220 Doc skills will I be able to buff 2K / 2.5 -3hours?
What do you good folks recommend? Do I need to go Master Doc?
Thanks in advance,
- Ymo

Best support character (pure healing wise): Master CM, Master Doc
Since you only want to be a doc, and not a master, the best would be 4-4-4-0. It lets you heal poisons, disease, and I think every other or most other states, and use good buff packs. With a 110 droid, and +25 Wound Treatment clothing you can get a 2k enhance off of a 900 power buffpack.
You need x-2-4-x in order to do ANY kind of GOOD buffs, since most are 89-90 Med Use (Medical Knowledge 4).

0220 won't let you revive, and your buffs will be relatively bad.
I would suggest 0440. You get rez, max'ed out wound treatment before MD, and access to (experimented) D's.
If you add the first line you'd be able to cure poison and disease and extinguish flames. You would also be buffing faster with the first line, but that may not be an issue for you.
You can heal states at novice doctor.

Thanks for the replies thus far guys.
I don't know what I was thinking but I did mean to say 0440 rather than the 0220 I wrote! /doh
Can anyone give me more details on what would be needed for a droid (i.e. what to specifically ask for)?

You should get a droid with a level 6 medical module. The rating would be 110 on the deed. I guess you don't need anything else if you're not going to craft at all, although a food and chemical station wouldn't be a bad idea generally. You can't retrofit them in existing droids though.

I have a Doctor 4-4-4-0/Master Carbineer and I like it alot.I played with CM some, but found i liked this better. Even thoughI miss the area heals, your heals are big enough where you can keep up with alot of incoming damage.
With this set-up, you can fix anything that happens to your group and pump out fair buffs with the right, albeit expensive, enhance packs med use 90. In PvE the fire is not such a big deal but the poison and disease can be. You may even be able to heal throughit with good enough mind buffs. In PvP these will be really useful.
If you cannot rez, heal all the states and buff well, be prepared to be a second class citixzen in the eyes of many. In big group fighting,I tab and fire at what ever the others are and generally watch the group bars and select/follow/heal everyone while autofiring and occasionally doing some chargeshots to KD or draw agro when someone is getting beat-up.
Ihave been playing other servers lately, soI forget the rest of his skills but, i think you can get another novice class in there as well. Scout would probably be the best call but i have ent.
Beyond the Doc BE clothes and 110 rated droid, just get the best meds you can afford to use.I would also suggest a heal macro with all your types of heals prioritized so you can fix what ever is needed by pushing the same button.
