Hey guys,

I was thinking about dropping my meditation line for some medical skills 2-1-x-x to be exact. How important is meditation anyways?

Well it all seems fine and good until you get diseased. Out in the middle of somewhere. Then it's like... dangit...

hehe thats if you have mediation. My above comment is referring to what would happen if you swapped that for some low level medic skills. To be honest, if you are properly armored and buffed, not much will be able to kill you without some serious bleeds or poisons. giving you ample time for mediatation after the fight. Unless you absolutely don't have room for both in your template, it depends on what you want to fight. In long fights vs. elders or kryats etc.. novice medic is going to be a little more useful. also for pvp, medic is going to be a bigger plus. For everything else, I'd go with the meditation line. powerboost and force of will are two very excellent skills to have on top of the meditation itself.

If your sig is right u are master brawler...use warcry2 and mediation proper and u can cure poison/disease/bleeds while the fight...works great for me while hunting elders...

With meditation, you never notice how much you really use or need it until you don't have it. I've regrinded just so i can have the one line in tk.

Well I already made my decision and dropped mediationfor some medic skills, I was thinking about the ability to heal myself in pvp too and it seems that medic is much more useful. Thanks for the input guys.

Personally, I would never give up meditation. It just has so many uses. Ease of wound healing, disease/poison healing....etc. True that you can't use it in a fight, but think about Medic...taking from one pool to heal the other. And mind is usually the lesser pool. When I see someone healing, I love it because it's that much less mind I need to wear down on them. You can hit them with a few Health fire dots, and watch em spend all their mind trying to stim it, while I then scythe their mind.

Plus meditation has powerboost which is handy, not to mention Force of Will in that 4th box which has saved my bacon a lot.
