I am currently going for the "Triple Master". Masteredsmuggler and pistoleer and working TKA now. I am coming up to the point where I'll have to lose my medic skills and had a few questions about how meditate works.
I read the TKA FAQ and understand what meditate does at the different levels. My questions are these:
1) How long do you generally have to meditate to remove bleeding, poison and disease?
2) Once you get meditate 4, at what rate does it heal wounds?
3) At TKM, do you feel meditate can replace medic skills?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!

I can answer 1 and 3 (just got box 4 tonight, so haven't tried healing wounds yet).
1. Bleeding and Poison seem to be dependent upon severity. Usually takes about 8 ticks (at level 3) for poison to go away. Bleeding seems to be the same. Disease has always gone away for me in one tick (as soon as I'm in the meditation pose the disease goes away).
3. If you're buffed, you shouldn't need medic skills. In PvP there's rarely time to heal yourself in a fight as a medic, and in PvE your damage mitigation turns you into a tank.

When you meditate you will see something like the following (exact wording may be off):
Your disease lessens.
Your disease lessens.
Your disease lessens.
Your disease has subsided.
You heal your action wounds [31]
You heal your action wounds [23]
You heal your health wounds [15]
Each message tends to have aperiod of about 3 or 4 seconds in between. So it does heal rather quickly. As for how long specifically it takes to heal disease and such, it depends on the severity. For example, Mantigrue Screechers on Endor can give some pretty nasty disease that hits for upwards of 300 or 400 wounds per tick. That disease usually takes about 3 or 4 messages to cure while I meditate (so about 12 seconds more or less). Of course when you get a disease or poison, it's usually in your advantage to finish the battle as quickly as possible so as to minimize wounding and the time it takes to mediate those wounds away. The numbers (for action) I listed above are typical heal rates. Each tick tends to heal between 20 and 35 wounds of one type. And, wounds will never heal while you are poisoned or diseased. Meditation always targets the poison or disease first. Last thing of note:you can not mediate while you have a state applied to you (dizzy, blind, etc.). The only things that Meditation won't healare those types of negative states and battle fatigue. Meditation WILL heal mind, focus, and willpower wounds and damage.

Hiya Barbo!
1. I can usually stop bleed/ poison and disease in just a few seconds when I had Meditation 4...its only a bit quicker as master. I've been hit by a CM with some uber poisons though that took up to 15 seconds to get rid of...
2. Meditate 4 ...I heal wounds fairly quickly...usually at 20-30 pts per tick...each tick being about 2.5 seconds...mind wounds seem to take a bit longer (FYI..BF cannot be meditated off)
3. With my alt I dropped all medic. But in my opinion you may want to keep very basic medic so you can use some stims on yourself during combat. With good armour, full buffs, and a few stims I can solo Enranged Rancors for hours....or take out all of the Nightsisters except the elder (100% Kinetic resists on that old lady)
Contact me in game..I'd be happy to help.
