Thread: TK's SHOULD HAVE ADVANTAGES OVER RANGED!!
Yes the MCM looks to be plenty powerful do to its double heals mixed with the mind foods and buffs but that is just the thing that it seems too powerful IMHO. Right now anyone can dabble the cm tree and become top game which isn't really fair when it comes down to balance issues in this game. The devs should look deep into the healing stats of MCM and Docs and find ways to bring it down a small notch, not nerf it by any means, but balance it a bit more for the long run.
However this could just be a very strong hybrid mix between the two lol
But I dunno, have you seen a TKM/MCM vs a TKM/MSwords/4000 CM? The tkm m swords is a pretty tough combatant with its defense mixed with swords damage dealing but this is nothing more then an assumption, never actually seen that combo fight it out. Anyone have any info on it?

appart from it being a template that would require 261sp to make it would only be a weaker version of TKM/Mswords/doc4xxx... CM 4xxxx only grant benifits to healing as doc 4xxx does..
doc healing > CM healing, so even if it was possible to make this template i would not recommend it... the dots or debuffs would note even stick letalone do any damage asthis would leave out all the skill boxes that gave bonuses to the mods working for that; bio-supression and medical warfare.
As far as CM being overpowered or not, is a completly different discussion with many people, all with viable arguments on both sides.
as far as the healing being overpowered is IMO very easy to answer... no... theyare master healers andtherefore should heal likethere is no tomorow.. problem here isthe role healign has in combat, that is the overpowered partIMO

A hybrid can make the mix work for them but when it comes down to skill vs skill between a hybrid and stacker, the stacker will win with its mods and wider range of attacks.
Now this is the thing i still dont understand... correct me if im wrong but pre-cu didnt the devs say that you wouldnt be able to defence stack etc post-cu...
Another spineless u-turn or am i barking up the wrong tree here...

I cant really answer that cause I don't know whether or not they stated this. I've read all about the CU as many did but didn't catch this statement from the devs. Maybe a link would help but it may have been taken down lol. It could be a U turn or this stacking could be a working as intended. All I know is that the stacking is what creates strong diversity in this game which not many mmorpgs really have.

meant doc lol, my bad /blush
ah.. i see 
well then to answer your question.
TKM/Mswords/doc4xxx vs TKM/MCM, the CM template would win every time in my experience..
FIrst TKM/Mswords/doc4xxx has no way to devestate the CMs mind in the same way as a CM has in traumatize, and no mind = no healing = loose
the CM again has an advantage in thyroid rupture that slows down the sword attacks even more (not the fastst proffesion to begin with)
could that with Dots and TKM defence.. and you ahev a sure winner..i have yet to loose to one yet
