Thread: Carbineer/Rifleman/Pistoleer?

I'm torn on what I should get. Currently, I'm using MBH, MPistoleer, 4/x/x/x CM. I've mastered all 3 before, hunted jedi with all 3, killed jedi with all 3, and have the equipment for all 3. But as pistoleer is right now, I just dont seem to do enough damage. Intimidate and root is nice, but don't make up for this lack of serious damage.


So my question is this. Carbineer, or Rifleman. I know that Carbineer has moderated speed, moderate damage, rifleman heavy damage, low speed, but what would be best.

oh dont give me the ol "Oh, your not a real BH cause your a jedi!" routine. Gets old after awhile.


I'm trying to get some opinions here, so either say something productive or just don't post

I'd go with carbine. Carbine is a fun profession and does good dmg. It doesnt suffer from the accuracy penalties at close range like rifles and has better speed and defense.

He could be in the same situation as I am, havent had a BH come for me since the CU. I might of had 2 guys come but they saw the knight tag above my head and dropped my mission. But I do duel all the time against all BH temps so I know what the strengths and weakness's are.

I'd have to say go with Carbines. It's true that Pistols have a low SAC but you're also getting lower damage figures and a much too short range while using them. If you were to go Rifles then you'd have high damage and good range but the best weapon you could get in terms of SAC would be 82. By going Carbines you're gettinggood damage, good speed, and you can cap a weapon at 73 SAC. Not to mention you have a +15m Range over Pistol users and the best +Snare+ in the game - which IMO is better than the root you'd get with Pistoleer as you're not screwed for 30 seconds if you miss or it gets blocked.

from MY experience -

most effective: carbineer
most fun: pistoleer

most um, uh ... boring: rifleman

i stuck with pistols, fwiw.

You won't live long when you do this and it'sfun in group PvP to run upon a group and alternate improved spray shot with improved full auto area.


I love carbines myself.

The only people I hear saying that pistoleer doesn't do enough damage are either A.) people who have never done pistoleer. Or B.) pistoleers with an inadequate gun.

Invest in a serious, uber gun and some SEA's and I'd bet your opinion changes extremely quickly.

I need to second this. I have had several Jedi say that my damage output is better than any other BHer's that has come for them. I have never been MR or MC so I can't compare but my pistols have always treated me nice. I use an unsliced scatter with a base DPS of 640. The only draw back is the SAC is 95. So when the time is right, i switch to this gun, drink my pyro and go in for the kill.

I dont know about that question...seems like asking which type cake is best?......some will say choc...some vanilla....different strokes for different folks.....depends what uber weapon you can get and slap an anti-decay kit on it....if you get a better re-grind to that if better....once thig is for certain....you need a great uber weapon to even think of winning...I'm still fighting with CSR'ss that it is B.S. that there arent more ADK kits in the servers and they are arguing its not really a big advantage ...B/S
