Great guide Jynne!
@ 194 I'm still an MA doc, and I love it..
AR is 922 self-buffed currently, and easily goes over 1k with the right buffs - no ammo worries, never had to worry about keeping a wep up to date or hunt for wrangles, AR has increased with every ding. BwT is a great attack, and the raised parry even works occasionally against melee mobs. More than anything tho, it's fast, fun, and damage over time ain't half bad (and has surprised some ppl).
MA has been maxed every level, Phys Init up to 150 and left til recently, Brawling when I could afford it, and parry just enough for a decent BwT (Attack of the Snake did me for a while). Dimach I still haven't raised because the recycle time is plain silly (and gets parried at the most inconvenient times).
Though people keep asking me where my weapon is! I mumble something not being decided on a wep yet.. been 'deciding' for the last 40odd levels, and I think I'll jus end up 'deciding' on a parry stick... I get a variety of responses, some of them actually pretty positive, others step gently away from the weird doc..
It does suck in pvp being rooted and the helplessness is frustrating.. if you can live with standing back and just being a healer/debuffer tho, it has other rewards.
MA all the way I say! But bear in mind that most (actually, all except one) TL5+ docs I've met think I'm crazy - based solely on my continued MA choice, how rude is that!
