Thread: TKA and Doc?

I know some people are doing this and it would be handy to have. But is it the best profession to take with it? I've heard that some Masters havn't even used a Doc since they got Master. I could heal others but still.
Doctor and Teras Kasi is a good combo, no doubt about it. But I found it useful not to look at it just in terms of usefulness. Do like healing other people? If so, Master Medic, or even Novice Medic with Pharm 4 so you can use stim-d's should suit your purpose. You'd just have to buy them. Being a doctor takes quite a bit of time, not to mention effort and patience on the part of the player. Whatever your decision, being a teras kasi healer is damned cool.
Well, honestly, the only reason I'd want to go master doctor to go with my tk is because I could jack my mind, focus and willpower all the way up and buff my other stats all the time. That would be a very useful tool in combat. Other than that, I wouldn't really care to be a doctor. Even though, bringing myself/someone else would be badass.

I am primarily working toward TKM. I am secondarily going for 0430 doctor so I can use the best "enhance" packs which a master doctor friend makes for me.
An "enhanced" TKA is really great. I wear armor, use a VK, and do specials. I keep stim Es ready to apply in an emergency for Health and Action.
Mind is still the only problem. I maxed my mind/focus/willpower. If I die, which is really rare, it is because of mind. I wear a helmet. I expect the blocked mind damage exceeds the specials mind cost.
I am a trandoshan, so I also maxed my quickness/stamina and min'd my str/con, and split the rest into 650 health and action.
My doctor buffs add over 1000 to HSC and AQS for 2 hours!!
Eventually meditate will cure all wounds, so that is not a reason to be a doctor. Also, I carry novice entertainer until I get Meditate 4. I will then have to get someone to cure Battle Fatigue periodically.
The remainder of my points I put in explorer/hunter for hides and such.
NO GUN! I am giving away all my markman skills as I go up.
Its entirely dependant upon what you want to do with your character.
I'm master TKA 0/4/3/0 Doctor, and I'm loving it... it can be tricky for sure if you're doing large scale PVE events because you dont want to engage a monster... which is why I now carry a gun. But trust me... there are NEVER enough rezzers to go around, and the damage you can dish out as a TKA at close range makes you very desireable.
I'm also looking at going up the smuggler line for feign death, but I'm already out of skill points, and I really have no desire to lose my terrain negotiation....
But yes, TKA and doc is a great combo, in my opinion
