Looking into various things again. Going MBH/CM4xxx for sure (for content, am already at MBH) but looking to pair it with something now. I actually want some crowd control - was considering adding

Pistol x4x3 for improved stopping + accuracy bonuses and some dazes/snares

Carb x4xx for improved legshot/crippling

that way I get two high dmg attacks, plus root and snare. but somehow it doesn't seem like enough....

what I'd really like to do is get lastditch, so then

MBH

smug 4x1x (for feigndeath as well)

CM4xxx

which leaves me with 17 pts. I'd considered taking pistol xxx1 (can't get to xx3x unless I go CM3xxx, pistoleer xxx3 or BH 4444, pistol xxx3 but then I don't get jedi bounties) but the problem with pistol xxx1 is that regular stopping shot doesnt stick properly... and there's still not enough crowd control, since regular concussion shot doesn't work that well.

so I could feed it into smug 4x13 or something which gives me regular (but not improved) restraining... any thoughts? I'm pretty sure that smuggler crowd control is more efficient than pistoleer esp. since pist stuff only sticks for a few seconds... I don't really want more CM, and I don't want master smuggler, just trying to find the best combination of MBH with smuggler as well as MBH with crowd control...

thanks

I went through this sort of thing about a month ago deciding which template to go with and while last ditch looked extremely appealing I had found that it sticks about 50% of the time. After a long headache deciding which way to go I went with MBH, MCarb, CM 4000....but I am now thinking of changing it. I was going to go with MBH, MCM, and either Carb 0400 or Pistol 0004 but not even sure now as I really like the accuracy and defenses that comes with the ranged professions. And being a MCM you suffer in those categories bigtime but MCM does have alot of nice specials in which you will never get bored.

Nonetheless here is what I am deciding on to change to:

MBH, MPistols, CM 4000
MBH, MPistols, CM 0004 (i lose 50 to healing efficiency but pick up thyroid rupture, paralyze, and ED)
MBH, MCM, Carb 0400 or Pistol 0004

and of course the one you were talking about earlier:

MBH, CM 4000, Carb 0400, Pistols 0403 - and here are the numbers on this template:

Accuracy holding a carb - 255
Accuracy holding a pistol - 230

Melee defense holding carb - 180
Melee defense holding pistol - 190

Ranged defense holding carb - 200
Ranged defense holding pistol - 210

Healing efficiency - 65

I can see what you are saying that it's almost not enough but you do get alot of specials. You get Improved leg shot, and the good carbine snare as well as improved stopping shot from pistols line, plus all the defenses and accuracy from both professions. However for some reason I always think that in order to be effective you need to be a MASTER in a ranged profession...but I don't know. From the way the numbers are looking...this template might be very effective killing NPC boss marks as well as jedi because you get the best of both worlds and you can still heal effectively.

What is your take on this?

Then of course there's the question of what you do if you don't master BH but take most of smug in which case you have a heck of a lot of crowd control but no heavy hitting shots, so I was thinking carb/pistol, ie master smug/cm4xxx/carb 44xx/pist xxx3 which would REALLY be the best of both worlds, but would not help much in terms of content since us smugglers can't even slice the damn BH terminals for missions.

what do you think?
