Well, it looks like I can't master TKA and CM with the skillpoints I have. So what should I do? I stil lwant to be both these professions, but I just can't have them both mastered. What trees shouldn't I go up? Can be from either profession.

I was going to try to master CM for a holo prof, so I've looked into this before.


If you are actually wanting to have all the big benifits of being a CM then you need to be master according to this faq

http://www.iootnega.com/combatmedic/faq.asp


My plan was to drop down to 2-2-4-4 TKA for awhile and then grind back up to Master. But it came down to me just liking TKA master waaaaaay too much and realizing that I really didn't care that much about going for Jedi. At least not now, maybe after the Jedi changes. I really didn't want to drop that +70 to unarmed dmg that masters get either


And I'm pretty sure TKA and CM are having a contest to see who can get the most posts calling for nerfs. I think the boards would explode in a nerf frenzy if you could master both

I went MCM/TKA 4404 and I am very happy. I can hold my own in PVP or PVE.

The best combat medic template I have seen is:

Master Combat Medic
TKA 4/0/0/0
Doctor (enough to Rez)


This person can heal any stat ... bring back the dead ... and meditate her own damage away (even the mind wounds from healing my mind).


Taityana is the BEST (in my opinion)

This seems to be more of a support template. Even if you went Doc 3400 with this template you still wouldn't be able to cure disease or use good buff packs. To be a well rounded CM you need some kind of defenses since we get none by default.


Adding in some defenses from another combat profession will help prolongyour survival. If you want to remain as a support role for a group then this template may fit the bill. However if you want to share in the combat you may be better off Dropping the Doc skills and picking up a combat profession.


With Master CM you can also Master any of the other 3 Elite Ranged Professions. You can also pickup some melee skills with Master CM but you are limited to 3 trees. Or you could dable in CM without the crafting and Master a melee profession. However you will be limited to Class B AE offensive medicine.


Overall if you choose to be a solely support character that can heal any damage I would suggest the following template:


Doc 4440, CM 3404, TKA 4000


The Pros


- Cure any state


- Cureany poison


- Cure any disease


- Healany bleed


- Heal any wound except others mind wounds but you can heal your own


- Heal any damage including others mind damage


- Heal at range


- Heal multiple players


-Enhance yourself and other players stats


- Temporarily add a buff to your HAM


- Force yourself up from incap


- Reviveplayers


- Limited use of poisons and diseases (Class C singles and Class B AEs max)


The Cons


- You will have one point left over but you won't be a Master in any profession other than Medic.


- You won't be able to craft any of your meds. You will be depending on other Docs and CMs to provide you with the tools of the trade.


- You won't have any mitigation to any form of damage.


- You won't have any real defenses vs melee or ranged damage.


- Your own direct damage is limited to Novice Marksman and Novice Brawler certified weapons, except for VK with TKA.


- You won't be able to use any specials.


- You will only be able to use >91 MU Doctor meds or >76 MU CM meds.


- You will not have the maximum distance and damage bonus a Master CM recieves when using poison and disease.


- You will be dependant on protection from others in your group for PVE or PVP for most encounters.

Very good point (our group normally has a Master Doc/Master CH with us) ... so I didn't think about disease/poison.

The best I like so far is the TKM/4404 CM, because I want to be a tank, and have the advantage of poisons/diseases...much rather then being a support profession who has some, but not to the full potential, combat skills.
