I read somewhere that melee profession go better with doc, and ranged go better with CM.

They only real reason Cm goes better with ranged is due to the fact that ranged elites require the support line, which is also a requirement for CM so it saves you skill points. For melee it will cost you more to go CM because you would have to pick up marksman which is an extra 15 sp more then DOC would be for us (onlymedic for doc)

From experience, I do not recommend you turn Fencer/MCM. There is the bonus of stacking so many state effects, but in recent light of some patch notes, I think we can expect many of those abilities to be fixed. Also, as a Fencer MCM, you tend not to be able to damage a player enough due to the lack of tanking, you're usually too busy healing yourself to get anything done. Might I suggest TKM/Combat Medic, that is a very viable class and one of the strongest I've ever fought. You gain more defense abilities, allowing you to better utilize CM.

Right now with master cm and some good medical supplies I can usually get poision and fire to each tick at 320-350 dmg. So combined I say I average 660+ per tick.
I have a 1 hd sword that is over 1,000 max dmg without a pup or slice. so i am guessing if I get it slicedand puta pup on it will beover 1200. Soat 33% for advance bleed (from reading) this is an addition 400 dmg. (396 @ 1200 even)
Stacking thiswith the 660+ i am already getting from MCM that would put me at over 1000 for my dmg ticks.
I use MCM pretty well, with deabilitators (thyroid etc.) and paralize as a staple, and can usually tick opponets to death (with damage shots inbetween ticks) depending on RAGE. (with pistols xxx4 and root I can usuallyhandle itwhen opponets get early rages)
My thought is that the way i play I am pretty close to being a dot specialist(not quite there yet), but with an addition 400 dmg in ticks from fencer I think it could happen.
It will take alot of skill skill points, so i would only be a MCM - Medic x44x -Master Fencer - Combat prowless xx44 for melee accuracy and speed. However, I really want to build a character to my play style rather than stick with BH for the added perks there.
So my debate is between droping MBH and pistols for Fencer or just MBH for MSmuggler (for obvious reasons)
Has anyone tried this combo with fencer .. a hit and run... more like paralize-deabilitate- dot-paralize and regroup dot specialist, and if so does it work as well as it does in theory.
BTW I have never played Fencer before so have no idea of how successful it is.

i wouldnt get fencer just to get a bleed...from what i have seen bleeds suck...i dont even use mine..ever : / maybe i should but it seemed super weak lol...you have medic, have you thought about gettin the buff line in doc? the adrenal boost makes a huge difference for me, get somone to 1/2 or so, kd and unleash the fury..untill im out of action anyways lol...my favorite fencer move personally is the action debuff ...forget the name but it looks like handcuffs...in a pvp or duel that you cant win in a few seconds it makes all the difference...again w/ kd...when theyre out of action or low and you have that on them they can be down for quite a bit of time...
