First... drop the proton. Do the Secrets of the Syrens quest and get the Special Ops Bola Carbine... you'll thank me later.

Question. I used to be MRifles with CM4-0-0-0 and MBH and I did okay, but with pretty poor weaps i think.
So i decided to try out MCM MBH with Pistoleer Stop shot, now this templat is absolutely great for PVP. A lot of specials really annoy the jedi, however my BIG loss has been when i checked the info out on my character, I am now 40 speed!!!
I am sure i was like 101 or something before. can I increase my speed with aa's ca's etc? people say i was mad to move from rifleman, but I think the choice for me personally is good. The stop shot in pistoleer is awesome , the DOTs in MCM are good and Paralyse is great, its just my speed is low.
I was out grinding with jedi and a few others just for cash, checked the combat window, I popped up every two or so pages lol!! everyone else was bashing away happily, made me really depressed.
Having said this, I can take on a Full temp and severely annoy him, keep him healing, MDEF's and MLS, but, If I could improve my character speed that would be great. I presume if i got AA's for carb speed etc (I own a proton) and max the speed of the carb, then whilst it would not show in my character sheet, it would help wouldnt it?
Yours hopefully

Quick question.
I used to be MRifles with MBH and CM 4/0/0/0. Now I am Master CM my character speed has dropped to 40!!
I still PVP okay, but It seems I am awfully slow. Is this the price you pay to have dots?
Has anyone else been shocked by this and then fixed it by buying weapon CA's AA's etc and other kit to bring up character speed?

You can get aa's for the proton carbine but I would advice you to get a HLR and get rifle speed tapes. The HLR a MBH cert. and if you get it made with enhanced powercells you will get a weapon with well over 1k damage plus elemental in addition to very low sac. I have the same temp as you and I use an HLR with a rifle speed and accu. tapes of +25 in addition to +25 general ranged speed and accu. I have no problems what so ever and since it is bh weapon it is reflected in the dps.

good post .. those HLR are awesome .. the thing with carbs was the snare stack .. it was awesome for hunting jedi .. since it has been fixed ... so a one-line carbs deal isnt as effective ( it was 0400) .. i say either go a rifles line .. or take the root in pitols but still use the HLR ... i think that weapon was one time the devs really did make something for the BH to give em a leg up on jedi hunting ...

Thanks for that info, I think Ill go get meself a HLR and get it made with some powercells. If i cant find a +25 tape or CA/AA then i presume i just get a bunch of 7+ 10+ etc and add them up to that figure and put them in the armour and they will stack to +25 yes?
Thanks also for letting me know that the tapes show info in the DPS. Helps me immensely

i am mbh/mcm with the rest in fs skills.
i find that with my hlr of +17 acc, i miss too often. reminds me of pre-cu llc's.
now, with this nifty featherweight fwg5 with a total of +78 acc, and kinetic damage to boot, i am just slow enough i can spam adv critical and torso shot and not run out of action. mod speed is like 1.3 or so. i do plan on getting some aa and ca for some more speed, but it is viable as is.
oh, and my fs skills are melee def, ranged speed and acc. i think my base speed is like 52 or so...

yes thats what i did.
Gear in sig heh...iv upgraded a couple parts though. Id say i shoot as fast or faster than a bh carbineer, expectialy with my doc speed buff. And i only have master carbineer skills and master cm with doc buffing.

It never really shocked me - I knew what I was getting into when I went MBH/MCM/Carbineerx4xx. My character has a speed of about 79 while holding onto a carbine and I've got a +15 Carbine Speed shirt that is bumping that to 94 - I'm shooting VERY fast. I still intend to get a full +25 Carbine Speed as well as +25 General Ranged Speed to boost my attack speed even more.
Are you still trying to use a Rifle with MBH/MCM/Pistoleerxxx3? If so that's rather foolish IMO. If you absolutely must use a Rifle then drop Pistoleer (you'll rarely land that stopping shot against Defenders anyhow) and go up the Accuracy line of Rifleman. You'll gain ALOT more accuracy over your current template not to mention 30 or so speed. I'm not exactly sure what speed increase you'll be looking at but there'll be +20 from Marksman lines and then whatever you get from Novice Rifleman.
*Edit* I almost forgot to mention. Another way for you to help you in your speed situation is to pick up the Ranged Speed lines of FS Combat Prowess if you're able to. This will give you +12 ranged speed with ANY ranged weapon.
