Currently, I use my armor, Blob candy and Air Cake with 1k stims to survive most encounters.
If I'm dealing with NPCs, I add a PSG to reduce blaster damage and maybe some Synth steak.

I just don't get hit. Seriously. Read Phen's guide and do most everything that's in there. I generally eat blob candy & crispic, I have a high damage probot w/self healing that helps keep the target health regen down or stopped, and I never ever ever stop moving. Ever.

I'm a MRanger/Mswordsman and, as you can imagine, also have no room for any healing. Mostly, I don't find it more thanslightly annoying. I think the only thing you may be missing is, simply, doing things alone should take more time than doing them in groups. I get a lot of enjoyment going out to the wilderness and hunting alone because of the satisfaction I get outta taking down a herd of something without the aid of others. At the moment rangers and swordsmen both carry battle armor mitigation (soon to change for rangers) so I have a real nice set of armor with melee defence addons for hunting and some ranged D addons for the occational blaster shot to the head. Traps are wonderful for hunting alone. Of course I use use food and drink buffs and I have the Stims, but I usually don't use the stims unless I'm feeling a bit impatient.
I look at it this way....If you go one on one with something/someone with equal or better strength than you, you're gonna have to recover. No way around it. It just makes sense to me. I think if you're looking for the fast track or something real good for solo pvp, the temp you chose ain't the way to go. One thing to keep in mind though...right now medics are a dime a dozen out there and you really have to put some effort into forming a group without one. I am coming up on only my 6th month playing but, in all that time, I almost never had any medic and am doing just fine. If you give it a try you should be just fine too.
Hope this helps

I try not to use those in anything else but PvE though, and very rarely, because it is broken right now. You can heal yourself immediately after popping one, so essentially you can do 3.2K heal in about 2 or 3 seconds.

1k heal stims + 16 fill Ruby Bliel. I can manage against most npcs and animals easy, it's the pvp against any-sort-of-medic that kills me.
The way it works allows me about 7 additional heals, but against a medic of any sort, that really doesn't matter. I just usually get to waste bliel and stims when I fight in pvp, since everyone's got a little medic these days. Broke or not, works as well as I can get it.

1.1k+ stims and bliel work, but if you have a second computer and toon (who happens to be a MBH/MCM) log him on and write a macro. My ranger is a Master Rifleman too, so easily outdamages the MCM to retain hate on the mobs.

Nice support for when you cannot get a group and you have to have that resource.

Thanks for the info guys....I'm pretty new to the CU, my only other toon has CM, so I wasn't aware of the full extent that non-Medics could use healing.

I just respecced a character to M.Ranger/M.Carbineer, which does not leave enough room for Medic......and my question is, how do people cope with having no Medic in their profession?
I wanted to be CL80, so I chose a master ranged profession, but I cannot take up any healing this way. This makes hunting and harvesting MOBs very difficult, because of all the regeneration downtime.
Am I missing something?
Terrain Negotiation bonus and /burstrun
I prefer TKA and Stim D's.
Yep thats 2 of us, I don't even need the stim d's that often with a good psg. I don't need anything but camo to solo or group cl 82 missions, both critter and faction. Traps for critters, and a good taunt (yo mamma is so fat.....) for npc's.

That's my personal favorite.
Group with a Tank. /pet Calc If that fails group with a Doctor who thinks he is a tank!
