Thread: Pistols Or Carbines For MBH
(end temp would be MBH, Master Doc, and Novice Poistals or Carbines)
Thanks
THis is my opinion:
Pistols are great becsaue you have stoppping shot and fan shot: Fan finds a cloaked Jedi and stopping shot keeps them from running away.
Carbines are nice becasue you can get out of saber throw range and force range.The down side to carbines is that itlacks a lvl 54 Kinetic weapon.
But adding MD to yourself, while nice for buffs will leave you a bit short on the dmg dealing side. I would reccomend MCM, then atleast you ahve DOT's and can heal as good as a doc with a +18 HE , B.E. shirt.
Just my 2 cents.
Carbines also has an Area Attack like fanshot, but it does more damage. Carbines also has a Kinetic damage weapon at CL54 and Carbine Spec III (BH tree) called the Czerka Dart Carbine. It can do some serious damage. Caps aren't as good as an Elite Carbine/E11 Mark II, but it's still nice versus Recon armor or a PSG.

Actually, the Czerka is CL 50. Still a nice carbine, but not CL 54. ![]()
It caps around 930, give or take a few points, about 130 damage points under a CL 54 Elite or E11Mk.2 Carbine, but still better if you go against a jedi wearing a psg. I carry an 896 max damage, Sac capped czerka, and if the jedi gets close/lands root or snare, then I switch to a damage capped featherweight FWG5 with a sac of 68(so close to cap).
