I have been working on TKA, which is awsome so far, but can't decide whether I should get Master Doctor or get Master Brawler/Defence skills up all the other melee weapons. As of now I am leaning toward Doctor because of the buffs, nothing more than that really. Really what it boild down to is how does the Doctor (that can heal nicely and have large stats) compare to a character that doesn't take as much damage? I don't know what the exact damage or health numbers are, so I am hoping someone can help me out.


Personally I prefer to PvP, so which one would help me most?


Oh and on another note, what is a more preferable TKM, Trandoshan or Human? (or something else) Trandoshans get nice unarmed bonuses but their action and mind is enough to be laughed at. I am trandoshan on one server and human on the other. Would I go full defensive with the trandoshan because I don't have the mind for a Doctor?


Thanks.

Okie doke, everything I say from here on in is fairly bias...so don't take it as the all knowing words of the master of the universe


Anyhoo, I was a TKM/Master Doc....it was great, awesome buffs, huge heals, killing anything and everything, etc....


After a while this became bothersome, not the resource gathering of the countless buff packs that I crafted (eventually used a factory), it just didn't seem right. I try to RP my character as often as possible and being a doctor didn't fit it. So, I grabbed up all the wonderful defensive trees of the other brawler classes.


At first, I was extremely dissapointed....sure, I had defense, but I also had only parts of other professions...that meant I couldn't be hugely effective with the other class weapons (such as the power hammer). Well, I ran around Dathomir and found an NPC with 100% resists to kinetic...well, that power hammer saved my life


I like my choice; however, just as some people have said.... don't do what is "best", do what you want! Honestly, this game is not progression based... there is not a level to achieve. I see roleplaying and having fun as the endgame. Sure, its a huge change from EQ and other such games, but after a while I couldn't imagine going back to that.


Oh, one side note to help you enjoy your experiences a bit more than some of the other folks who want to "beat" the game. Just take it easy and have fun, get the unarmed (and possibly other brawler exp) when you WANT to. Don't go out killing kams on Dathomir just because you really want meditate 4 or whatever....just let it happen. It makes the game much more enjoyable!


I hope I haven't put you to sleep with my long winded advice.....WAKE UP!


Hope that helps
