I dropped Master Doctor from a MDoc TKM build to do rifles. I can tell you meditate is the life saver with Dots, the meditate line is great for people who drop doc.
I was a TKM before as well and I know how meditate can come in handy...alot cheaper SP wise than doc 4030, of course you have to get out of combat to heal. I was just wondering which best compliments rifle and which stands on its own better. Looking for comments from riflemen that have tried different combos out.

need to update the sig... but i've tried a number of templates with RM.
mrm/swords/tk/medic was fun, but not enough defense. still spent a lot of time on my back.
mrm/tkm/medic/fs was definitely a lot of fun, you are your own tank with lots of diversity.
one of the better templates imo is mrm/tkm/pistoleer 0040/medic with some fs if you want.
very hard to state with all the defenses. and some strong attacks, kd/posture down, state attacks. etc.
again, all pretty vulnerable to dots.
i'm moving towards the new FOTM myself mrm/cm/doc.
An even better temp is MrM/ M Pikeman/ Pistoleer 0040/ medic 4010:
damn good state defenses, and if you have some high damage dot lva's, youll be a major force to be reckoned with

go medic 2/1/3/0 instead, you get stim C's or even some D's, can heal bleeds, the healing speed is just to waste the 2 points into something slightly useful.
personally i like tkm because of powerboost.. +500 ham for 10 mins for no cost to filling. plus you can run a force of will macro that can be used every 30mins to save you from the death blow. tkm also has combat equilibrium that helps pop you back up after a forced posture change/kd. These 3 features worked better with my playstyle. Tho i never tried pikes/rifles. both tk and pikes have strong kd and state attacks, so i guess the benefit with pikes is AP2 kinetic, dots, slightly stonger defenses, and capped block secondary evasion. Interesting.

If your into PvE, the AP2 from lva's will help alot. when i was a tk i used to go to geo cave and work on a single kwi for about a min. but when i used my lva ( i was spd capped at the time) it took me all of about 20 sec at most using my 535 max lva

yea in terms of dmg output an AP2 kinetic wep is better that a AP1 against enhanced kwi AR2. if i ran my guesstimate numbers right, thats better dmg if you use the LVA as opposed to the VL which is AP1 agains kwi AR2 at 5% resist to electricity. But /smack this is the RM forums.. use the AR2 dxr rifle against kwis...only 5% acid resist and no dmg reduction or bonus.
When i was still a pikeman, i had a 900 max VL just for kwi's, needless to say it didnt take long
