I have never had medic ... so I never miss it. But Feign Death is a good counter to Medic to ensure survival.

Being a medic comes in very handy. I started out medic and then mastered smuggler. As you get pummled all the time in combat as a smuggler, I also got master pistoleer (right, who hasn't). I had to give up master medic and a couple skills for it, but t still comes in handy. It has helped me in many situations that would normally get me killed.

Most former triple masters (like myself) often argue that (until the combat rebalance) Pistoleer isn't nearly as valuable as TKM - so much so most drop pistoleer for lack of pistol use.
The triple master is only a 'forced upon' template thanks to meaningless prerequisites imposed by sony. Its by no means the 'recommended ultimate template' for smuggler. Go with what you know and enjoy.

Well I had a lot of medic for a while, but as I need skill points, I got rid of everything except novice, so I can use stim B's in combat.

I find pistoleer pretty useful most of the time. Not so good PvP though, that is what I hear.

Yeah, who cares about it all if you're not PvP'ing. Master Pistoleer gets by fine in the NPC world.

I personaly like TKM for its meditate line. I like the ability to heal all fo my wounds (but you can do that as medic too). However, my favorite part is the second get out of death free card. Force of Will has saved my life too many times to count when I didn't FD in time.
Pistolier is the profession I use to fight with. As I always say, "Hokey martial arts and fist sized weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side."

is it true about the stat buff in the meditate line and how long does it last?

An often overlooked aspect of the triple master is the different damage types that Pistoleer brings to the table. There are 100% kinetic resist MOBs out there and I often switch to pistoleer because I'm getting no where with TKA on them and also when the MOB runs away. I don't like chasing it down.

Yes, its called Powerboost. It raises your three primary pools(Health, Action, Mind) by half your Mind Pool.
Example.
My character's stats are 800/500/500 for each Primary and its two secondaries. With Powerboost, my stats become 1200/500/500 for around, ten minutes, I think.

half my mind pool? hmmmmm so if my mind is if my stats are 400/400/1200 i could get 1000/1000/1600 thats something that i could deal with lol

No, it does not effect your seconary stats. Only Health, Action, and Mind themselves.
