I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. I solo them all the time without first aid 2.

It's argueable I waste more SPs with 0040 medic then 2000 medic, but you spend so much time using first aid that you are already beat to a pulp before you pop off a measly stim B for 500 health/action.
That's a lot more work than I'm willing to go to...Musician and daner buffs? Never. Ahrisa? Nope. 2 brandies is all I need. 2030 medic takes the same number of SP and lets you use stim C's. But, if you like stacked 1500pt bleeds from elders that's your choice.

Don't you die a lot? The only time I die is when I do something stupid...haha, once I targeted the spellweaver and intimidated that instead of the elder 
. Anyways, I find it a lot easier on my blood pressure to be more prepared. On my server there's dancer/musician buffbots so you just go to the house and pay 5k to enter then just watch the entertainer and get your buffs and that's pretty minimal.

My first death in a couple of months was the day they put patch 10 in, I went up to the vette only to find I couldn't heal myself. That got ugly fast. Other than that, no I don't die much.

I still can't figure out how you do it like that, just the amount of this I recieve to my mind make just 2 brandy insanity. What race and template are you?

And you cant forget about all th new templates with the fs skills, I picked up the fs melee speed, accuracy and defense skills which are a nice addition for very few skill points, wokring on the ranged defense branch

I like the idea of the FS speed and stuff. Should save me ALOT of money on skill tapes, lol. Keep the templates coming, guys! I want to see what people do with this stuff.

This is the template I'm considering (someone tell me if I'm an idiot)
Master Swordsman
Master Brawler
4440 Fencer
0100 TKA
0040 Pikeman
1040 Medic
Master Brawler
4440 Fencer
0100 TKA
0040 Pikeman
1040 Medic
Average status defense is 76, and melee/range average to 105, plus the ability to use StimDs. Looks good for PVP and PVE, I think.

I'm a MHS/4440doc/0002 Pikeman (Just for the dots in PvP). Human. 900/1100/1000 mind stats. I log on near the stronghold, pop 2 brandies, buff myself (1900pt buffs) and go kill NS. Elders take a while but aren't too tough to solo unless they pull a stun baton.
I firmly believe firstaid is required to kill elders, the bleeds are too nasty to not have it.

Myn is swordsman , fencer 44 0 0 and doc 4030. Not the best defences in the world but better than some. A swordsman's biggest fear really should be intimidate in pvp and since there is no way to defend against this (def vs intim is broken), Doctor is a must tbh.
Even if intimidate is proven not to be broken (i have heared it is), every pvp'er worth their salt will warcry you and keep intimidating untill it does actually stick, and even with 110 defence versus a state, you still havea 10% chance of being afflicted in the name of fariness and balance.

BUT we should all post a few different templates we know about or use/have used.
My current template:
Master Swordsman
Master Brawler
Fencer 2-0-4-0
Teras kasi artist 4-0-0-0
Carbineer 0-0-2-0
Medic 1-0-0-0
Moderate defense vs states, self healing with meditate. Capped center of being and counter attack. Since counterattack can be affected by cob its more effective than ranged/melee defense usually, also cant be effected by the stun state. mega skill point wastage on the carbineer/marksman sorta tho. ranged mitigation 1. can heal for up to 500 with 1 stim b.
Another template:
Master Swordsman
Fencer 0-4-4-0
Pistoleer 0-04-0
teras kasi 4-3-0-0
novice medic
Ranged/Melee defense is a little lacking... but you dont have to worry about states, also medic and ranged mitigation offsets not having so much melee/ranged defense.
And probly the best template, even tho i refuse to use it:
Master Swordsman
Master Brawler
Fencer 4-4-4-0
Teras Kasi Artist 0-3-0-4
Pikeman 0-0-4-0
novice medic
according to my calculator, you dont have enough pts for novice medic, if you take all the defense lines. Looks like its off by 5.
Maybe im calculating something wrong /shrug, wouldve been an awesome template tho heh
AWESOME DEFENSE. if you can get tapes to cap counter attack.... i wouldnt want to fight you thats for sure.
P.S. I am in love with the teras kasi meditation line, so in all of the templates i just listed that have the meditation line, try moving it around to some other boxes and see what u can come up with. probly a better template but still i love meditation and im never giving it up lol.
