What's a good way to gain medical experience for combat medic - version 1?
- Go Support 4, Distance 4 then Speed 4.
- Get some AE Poison A's (Any stat) and go to a durni lair (or any low HP mob lair will do)
- Poke the lair till about 10 or more come out at once, holster your weapon, peace and spam the poison
- At CM0002 you will get the xp equivalent to the rated effectiveness of the poison pack plus your effectiveness bonus
