Yesterday, I, as a 2242 tka, decided I would try getting some buffs and brandy, and seeing what I could take on. Well, I got a really nice set of buffs (all +2000 or higher) and drank 2 +404 brandies, and set out to dathomir. I didn't wear armor or any enhancing clothing. I then proceeded to be able to kill ANYTHING I encountered, except the 20k HAM NS. even 13k HAM SMC were no match.... I was taking on groups of 4 or more RANCORS and never seeing my stats dip.. I made so much xp I don't know if this is even fair... I mean holy crap!

Anyways, if you're looking for XP get yourself super buffed then take on stuff that you wouldn't even look at before... wow

Yep, buffs make it so this is possible by any elite profession really (cept maybe dancers, but even they get +7 melee/ranged defense)

FYI the new buff system is on TC right now...no more random buffs so the 3k+ ones will exist no more. But on a good note the crappy 1100 roll from a 900 pack wont happen either! So the point is after publish 7 ask the doc what level the packs are, if they use bivoli (raises low end of buff), if they have be stat clothes, and what level their droid is to ensure the best buffs possible.

By the way their answers should be at least 800 power pack, yes they use bivoli, yes their clothes max at +25, and they use a level 110 med droid!

Given current formula minus random factors, a doc with +25 bonus but without food buff would give a buff of about 2200 with a buff pack of around 900 power. 2200 is nothing to sneeze at. Sure it's not 3k, but wahh.

Ill take 2k buffs across the board rather than 3000/1200/2000 - 1900/1500/3000


And yes, if you are a low level TK, get buffed, some mind food, and just go nuts. If you have armor, go even nuttier. The higher your level, the nuttier you get. Powerboost when needed and heal wounds when needed.


I think the best I ever did when I was really going nuts was about 600k xp in an hour (last tree of TK, cant think of the name off the top of my head, the one with KD2 in it I think.). To get that much XP in an hour, you go to dath and kill anything on the screen. You get about 5k on average per kill, and if you got decent buffs to stamina/const, you can just spam away and they'll fall. I was only slightly concerned about kenetic resists, rarely bothering to check.

Unfortunatly I dont forsee 900+ power packs existing once this patch goes live for doctors due to the combo of the buff fix and the change to expiermentation. I honestly think buff packs are goin to be coming out at around high 700 to low 800's once this goes live. Well at least for the majority of non +25 Expiermentation docs out there .. I also beleave the new med use 90 packs that alot of 0-2-4-0 docs use will be coming down in power significantly.


But back on track yes buffs + food = Uber in any combat profession not just TK.

The way buffs work you will never see your stats dip unless your stats drop below their original unbuffed value. So, lets say you have 800/800/800 HAM unbuffed and 2800/2800/2800 buffed. Now you go out and fight a rancor who ishittingyou for 1000 damage per hit (totally hypothetical), and your watching your HAM bars. You would NEVER see your HAM dip until you see fall on the ground incapped from his 3rd hit. My point is, you might have been hurting more than you realized.


Just gotta be carefull about this bug (i consider that borked). It's been a doctor top 10 issue for months.

Pffft you don't even need buffs most of the time. I have master Carbineer and novice TKA...no contest on which is better. This profession is so juiced right now it's a waste of time to be anything else.

I'm a Master Doctor and a TKM my Buff packs are 830 and Higher and I wear +25 BE and Bivoloi and I hate it when my BUffs hit 12200 or lower pisses me of and gives bad Rep. I try to tell people I can't help it it's just the randomness if they are all low I refund Money. I try everything I can to make them happy.

Not that I dont mind being able to take on some of the bigger things in this game but you have to agree that Buffs, Spice and Food are a bit out of hand and completely unrealistic.


I always wondered how I was ever going to kill a 3k HAM NPC when this game launched. Thinking to my self well I can only have 1200 Health so how does this NPC of the same species have 3 times as much? Then you see NPC's with 15k HAM and go what the? how can a human have 15K HAM? Not even now where we have Medicine, Drugs and Wine can we get even 1/3 of that? But it must be in place so solo players can tackle high end mobs and such.


Never understood why they just didnt give NPC's more skill instead of giving them more HAM. That and how can a Drug add 3 times the amount of damage you can take? It just does not make physical sense that a injection can add 3 bodies worth of a damage sponge to your own.


All buffs are now manditory for wins in PVP and almost manditory for fast xp grinding. Its a welcome gift for grinding since that is no fun and buffs help speed up our suffering. But still we are all getting to too dependant on buffs and is that what this game is about?


I dont seem to recallanyone from the movies standing in lineformedicine and then washing down some drugs withwineon the way to a fight?


Not at all Star Warsy but has its place.

Here's a quick rundown on PCP and it's effects....read that and you may have a better understanding of why a drug could add 3 times the amount of damage you can take...the thing to take particular note of is at the end of the description.



This drug is known as phencyclidine or it’s longer chemical name phenylcyclohexylpiperidine. Now you know why they call it PCP! Although sometimes classified as a hallucinogen, and sometimes as a depressant, a stimulant, or an analgesic, PCP is appropriately termed a dissociate anesthetic. Dissociate anesthetic means that it can induce a state of mind-body where the user perceives himself as an observer to his own action. In other words he could perform surgery to himself and not feel any pain or perceive that he was performing the surgery to himself or that their could be adverse effects to cutting off his or her right arm. Ketamine is a chemical analog of PCP and is used in veterinary medicine, in pediatric surgery and in other areas. The chemical was manufactured by Parke-Davis in 1967 as a horse or large animal tranquilizer. Some of the street names used for this substance are animal tranquilizer, angel dust, crystal, jet fuel, killer joint and embalming fluid to name just a few. Some of the negative side effects or danger with use of the drug are loss of sensitivity to pain, increased blood pressure, distorted mental images, increased heart rate, agitation and combative behavior, lack of coordination and hallucinations. The most pronounced effect is the lost of sensitivity to pain. There are documented cases of feats that astound the observer such as running on two broken legs, ignoring severe burns and pulling their own teeth out, etc.
