I know theres prolly heaps of these threads al over this forum ... but I cant be arsed looking .... and with each patch certain skills and stuffchange.
Anyway I've had a bit of a play with MBH/MC/CM4000 but I'm frustrated at not having recon armour for max energy def.
I'm keen on getting pistols cause I like the idea or being able to root jedi and the generally lower sac costs...but am also aware that riflemen can be a sneaky son of a **edit** and packs mean punch.
Can someone enlighten me as to what they believe is thebetter template at the end of the day??

id say to either go MBH Mpistols cm4xxx or MBH MCM pistols xxx4.
with m pistols you got a good root so you can keep your distance and can use recon armour get up to 8200 energy protection.
But like me, i think MBH MCM is your best bet if you really wanna kill a lot of jedi. The debuffs are great and the dots are getting fixed as we speak.

oh yeah also get some RIS like the other guy said but since you are poor just get some 7k+ energy protection battle armour (eg padded, marauder) that costs about 1m credits on my server. Also get it sliced by a smuggler for 75% armour break protection.

If your looking to fight Jedi:
Pistols are cheaper and easier to find good stats on. Not my favorite but imho..Rifles need some upsides for all the downsides they have. 65m range and a snare don't mean crap if your up against skilled Jedi with force run. They always catch up to you.
"Can't see target"...drove me to the edge..
In PVE:
Rifles own. Same vs non-jedi.

I've been a Master Pistoleer / MBH and I'm a Master Rifleman / MBH now and I like Rifleman much better. If you work your first series of attacks right, you can inflict some major damage right off the bat and usually panic the Jedi, which gives you a good upperhand in the fight.

seems pistols can burst damage must better than rifles...my mate just switched from mbh mrm cm 4000 to mbh mp cm 4000 because not having a root drove him nuts (and the fact that I outdamage him with my 0.77s mod speed fwg)

What Kypek said Pistols if you use it right will just panic a Jedi. As a MBH/MPistoleer i have been MRifleman but since switching to Pistols the only Jedi have beat me have had Perfect Sabers, and i got them down to really low force.

Go get a trando rifle or something else kinetic or just not energy (PSG Useless then).
Then get some Recon Armor and start killing the Jedi.

Pistols have a 35m range and powers/saber throw have a 32m range.
What's the point of root if you have to stay in range?
