hm pistols does have root etc, but I use kd all the time w/ mbh/mrifle. As a matter of fact I can use it every 16 seconds for a kd. If I stop doing as much pve then I will probably change to carbine or pistol. w/ uber carbine still have max dmg of over 1k w/ 1.3'ish speed. With the deflect of a jedi this can come in handy.
But I do like my rifles, long distance if you sneak up conceal and sniper shots are fun. you still have a kd etc.
So your saying that pistols is better for Jedi because of the root and also Control. Which would also put you in range to throw the stats on them from MCM right???

Yes pistols and MCM range are very good to eachother in combat.

pistols:
high rate of fire
low sac
lots of states (pistoleer)
low min max dmg - somewhat mitigated by rof
rifle:
low rate of fire
high sac
no states, just a few dmg attacks
high min max - again, somewhat mitigate by rof
mcm / mbh / pistol xxx4 works very nice. paralyze, debuff, dot, kd, hurt bad guy over and over. root as needed.
the cm snare is also great for kiting melee targets.
i have always been a pistol guy since launch
. i went rifle for a while, but the sac is so suck.

I suggest going rifles. I am MBH/Mrifle/Pistol0003/medic0020. I have the high damage of rilfes along with the stopping shot from pistols. I am able to front load a huge amount of damageduring my alpha strikes. Plus I can effectively deal damage to Jedi from 65m, where as with pistols you have to stay in close- keeping you in saber throw range. I probably win 60-75% of my Jedi encounters.

I see....
That sound also famillar to me hince before CU i was the 3040 bh and the 0040 smuggler template with MP so this should be fairly familar just with to load on the MCM stats i have to get use to.

To be honest, either one will work and MCM is no better or worse than CM or Doc 4000. I am not a BH. I am a Jedi. If I want to run you cannot stop me, and no I don't have stasis, cloak or fr2/3. Rifles hits hard, very hard. If you go pistols the only jedi you will be able to take out are the postCU jedi that don't have the sabers that are good enough to cause you to really start healing.

How often can you root with pistols?
Once every 50 seconds. The cooldown on the special is 50 seconds, so I hope it lands!

I prefer Rifleman with my MBH. Startle shot causes decent damage plus has the added effect of mezzing the Jedi for 5 seconds.

Ahh yes rifles get 65m range but you will never be able to stop a jedi from getting away and your range means squat when you cant stop him from getting inside into his range

Going Doc takes more points. CM is cheaper for near same result
