I want to be a MCM but unsure to go with MBH and a couple rifle boxes or MRM with some BH 3100. Some people say the BH specials arebetter while others disagree. I understand everyone likes different things so if anyone playing or have playedeither of these could write areply as to why they like their template or why they changed templates, I would greatly appreciate it as I am sure future BH's will too.

If we keep killing jedi, they won't be able to level up to UBER'sville.
First off, that last comment will more than likely draw you some uneeded flames and yes they can,
Now as for the template. I would say go with master BH. All the best things in rifle can be garnered with your 4000, 3100, or 2200 dabbling in rifleman. I think the critical shot at mbh is the best ranged shot. I would personally choose to dabble and take the pistol /disarming shot and or stopping shot to go along with your MCM. I am mcm and dabble in pistols BH and FS now and works out pretty good.

As per the Uberville comment, BH are a mere bump in the road for jedi if that. I have had an unique point of view on this as my wife has a knight (well pre cu) jedi knight on radiant (and no she wont tell me the password, yet i pay for the account, hummmm). I have one toon on radiant, but most of my toons are on Sunrunner. As it stands, dont listen to the jedi boards, a fully temp jedi even with the oddest build have LITTLE to worry about from just one little ol BH. Are they Uber compared to any BH i say yes. Are they unbeatable, nope they can be defeated, with brains and luck even the mighty full temp jedi are beatable. Less than full temp jedi might be less of a problem, especially if they are in that sweet zone were they have to start droping there other master to use for jedi xp. But watch out for those low level one that whip out any ranged weapon and start spamming specials, they can be extremely dangerous.
Now to your question I respec my pre-cu stacker to MBH/MCM 4/0/0/0 rifles as i wanted something different than my main Arxy who has been a pistol BH for a long time. To be honest, I really enjoy playing this toon, and if it were not for grinding out the last FS xp needed for the village I might never log on my main at all. I can take my alt into places i could never survive with my main toon, and can play a support role well in a group. As far as Jedi are concerned, fully temp jedi, i can be a real pain in their side, yet my record is not good with them, but to be honest I last alot longer than i would with a pure damage dealing temp. A few things to think about when fighting jedi with this temp;
1) you will not be a uber damage dealer, as you lack the speed and acc with your weapon. Can be overcome to some extent with food, and CA/AA's
2) plan on a long fight, food, and spice are key here.
3) Use ALL your skills, I see alot of people throwing there DOT's WAY too early in a jedi fight. Reason i say this is that DOTs negate your safest way to get healed up and get some distance.
4) E-drain, Snare, and KD are your friend, so is placed shot (you can make a macro to attach a timer, alarm to a speical like KD) which helps alot in not wasting a round when you could not KD or at least lets you know when you can reapply this action.
5) only spam about two high dmg specials then back to ranged or place shot, manage your action.
6) paralyze, and debuff, help, but to be honest, i think some food and spice negate their effectiveness need to do more testing on these.
7) Eat parwan (sp) cake, Have ruby on hand and plenty of stims out of the crates before the fight.
8) Good Armor, only draw back with this temp is you dont have the cert for recon, so a special order of battle armor is in order ((Edit, you do have the cert, yet you have very little mitigation from rifles)).
9) Best weapons you can afford.
10) Enhancers are nice but NOT needed, however, i do favor the healing enhancers over the DOT enhancers myself.
These are just a few things ive seen with this temp. If you just adventure, and sometimes hunt jedi for a change of pace, this is a fun temp. Are there better MCM temps, i think there is, but hey this is one temp i really enjoyed prior to the end of respec.
