yeah I saw your reply Loki, but you kept reffering to Combat medic in your stat breakdown so i figured you didnt understand what i was asking
But ty for your continued help /deepbow

The first and most important answer on what template to use always is:
The one you have most fun with.
When you strive for effectivity,my answer turns out like this:
Before the Commando Revamp i would have told you, drop Commando and get something which gives you actual firepower.
Nothing against Command, it's an absolutely cool profession and i wish i could pack it into my character still, but it'sa bitweak when not powered up by another offensive combat profession... which the SL is not.
With Commando now having specials available the Commando might be helpful already. Still not too powerful, i heard, but i assume that the specials will still get a boost in the next time if they prove to be too weak.
So, while i can't evaluate the power of the reworked Commando yet, i would keep it at the moment, if i was you. On the rest, the combination of MSL and a part of Combat Medic will give you a very useful support setup. You might not be Rambo himself, but you'll both be able to hold your ground on the battlefield and give everybody else grouped with you also a very good boost in combat power and survivability.
People like that are always welcome on my team. 
This character is a pure support role:
MSL/ Doc 4004 / CM 4004
I'll probably drop the doctor line and some of the CM line later if i decide i want to pvp with him.

Darth_Sushi - hey can we start a new post for Post-Publish 24 Templates? Theses seem outdated and SL is a whole new profession.
Thx
The statement of mine you refer to was written in pre-revamp times. It holds no more truth for the new system.
I don't know if there were changes made from the time you posted till the time Im posting, but formup (Im at work so I think this info is right) gives a great movement speed modifier. And boostmorale give a quite noticable action/mind (I think) regen rate.
Im a msl/mp/4000cm
it gives you good mods, twoarea shots great defense +200 each melee and ranged. And the best part i think is i have two macro's one puts ona set of 8k kinetic (Composite armor), and the other puts on a 8k energy (recon).
