Tradeskill Doc?

Hey, I am wanting to start up a char as a tradeskill character. I Have a 5 Engie and 5 Doc. The doc seems to be doing fairly well so far, and its great knowing ill always be able to find a team(half the battle of leveling) I also know that they should have decent tradeskills at higher levels. Ive just noticed most people say Engies are alot better at tradeskills than almost any other profession. I want to start a fun profession I can level and use good tradeskills with. Do any of you have any thoughts as having a doc with high tradeskills?

Tradeskill doc?

Ain't gonna happen. The only tradeskill that we get at a decent IP cost is Pharmatech.


Go with the Engie, or better yet, a Trader.

(That is so bass-ackwards. . . Engies should be best.)

As the moment traders are the no1 trade skills class, also being very good in just about all areas of the game.

They have just had their healing powers fixed so they are no longer fantastic healers.

Acually someone posted a while ago that Doctors are the best tradeskillers. Why? Because they have the easiest time swapping implants. This makes sense to me since as an engineer I have to use several spots that would normally contain tradskill clusters for combat stuff instead.

I doubt it would be that hard to find a doc willing to hit you with +80 treatment if you mention you are tradeskilling.


I know *I* would be glad to help.

(Gotta pack on some more levels to get +80, but once I do. :) )

Hi my doc niowoman on rk2 is all about tradeskills

am i the best healer at my level yes
am i best tradeskills at my level ,outside of pharma complit and tutoring no but if you need somethings made i can do it . specially for low levels around 1-50 come to me for those. if the trader you ask thinks you just want a wrangle or fixer ignores cuz you maybe the fifth gimme a... on the block.
I can help
at level 60 i can also cast ic to get you into most things .

I dont put ip's into weps or fighting just healing and trade and flying so i can use my yalm.

So doctors are the 4th best profession for tradeskills, a little bit ahead of Advents and Agents.

But if you want to be independent is either a trader or doctor the best profession, a trader have tradeskillsbuff and doctors can easily swap high QL implants... Engineers is dependent on both of them...

I would rate it like this:
1. Traders
2. Doctors
3. Engineers

Hmm, pretty interesting. A doc would be the easiest to lvl up cuz people are always wanting one. But shotguns are nice! *Tries to decide between doc and trader*

In my experience, engineers are pretty easy to level up fast.... especially if you don't mind soloing a lot.

You should count chemistry now too

Making armor is fun :D
