Carbineer. Rifleman works until you get Rooted and they start carving you up, because many Rifleman skills need you to be at range. Rifleman also has low defenses and is very slow running around.

Carbines has great attacks and weapons. For an example of a great carbine, check my sig.

I play both Rifleman and Carbineer. What many rifleman skills need you be at range? Damage wise there is only one, Sniper shot? Big deal... I haven't noticed much in hit / miss ratio up close when I am shooting at a master defender. Both toons miss just as much.

My new rifleman hotkey macro goes like this soon as I get rooted...and see the Jedi storming in to get in melee range.

/dump

/hotkey to chow down accuracy food...Deuterium-Pyro

/advanced aim 10second or something timer to accuracy bonus

/root (if timed right jedi will be rooted out of melee range)

/startleshot if root misses, my backup is startleshot.. 6 second stun they cannot do anything to me ...

I like carbines because of the charge shot. WOOT. But, really, it's a great prof, I think. But I guess just try both and see which fits your play style better. Carbines fits mine better.

OMG I'M BACK ON SWG!

last question b4 I respec:gonna respec from commando (sorry to see that go, but hey, it's broke)to MBH/CM4000 with either carbines or rifles. I've never been either a carbineer or a rifleman. What is preferable?

I have a Master Carbineer and Master rifleman on two servers...both BH as well. I like rifleman more because of the unique skills they get,ie startleshot, cover, advanced aim is handy as well. It's nice having otherskills that are not your basic damage, debuff, snare, root category.

Rifleman have much higher damage outputs at greater ranges, plus we can cover and conceal shot. However we have slower speeds and Less defences.

Carbineers are great at Crowd Control, they can KD, or lay states on enemies at a distance, they have lower damage, and faster speeds than a Rifle.

So depends on what you want to do..

If you want to be right in the mix, knocking people down, laying states, and being a real pain in the arse in PvP. then go Carbines.

If you want to hang way in the back ,and lay devastating attacks, or lay in cover and hold choke-hold points, and snipe people. then go with Rifles.

At the moment, rifleman has more defenses - whether that is working as intended is another story. If you have a lot of money and are willing to take the time to get a suit of armor and get the attachments needed to get +25 rifle speed, +25 general ranged speed etc. then rifleman can shine very nicely.

Rifles all the way no more must be said. The riflesdo more damage, have better range, and if sliced can have good speed. Plus rifles look cooler lol.
