Iam currently MCM/Mcarbs/Combat medic 4xxx...I love this template but lately I am noticing a deficiency... 85% of the jedi on my server its a pretty good fight and I can usually run them out...the best PVPer's tho, it is very difficult to keep them at range. To solve this problem, I am considering switching from CM 4000 to CM 0004. I will be losing 45 Healing Efficiency (Oh yeah i forgot to mention I have +25 HE in AA's and can get an additional 5 from taking Medic xx1x with my last couple points which is why I lose 45 instead of 50) How much will losing 45 HE effect my ehaling capabilities?... will my remaining healing capability be enough to combat the damage the jedi are capable of after I have applied the debuffs I will be gaining? I would appreciate your thoughts...I dont want to ahve to go to the cookiecutter template (MBH/MCM) If i dont have to ... I really dont want to drop Mcarbs... please post your thoughts and suggestions below Thanks!!

Assuming you meant MBH where you wrote MCM.

Your temp is right on, changing to another line of CM won't do much for you. You'll need to look at the foods, drinks, and spices you use. You mentioned SEAs ... do you have them for Carb Accuracy, Carb speed ? Defence SEAs are a must also. What kind of armor do you use? gotta have the best energy resistance you can find. What are the stats of your weapon? What tactics do you use?

Too often players expect their template to do the job for them and wonder why they get smacked around by some Jedi. A good template is just a start IMO, you gotta address the other questions I noted to be truely successful. None of this is meant as a flame, just trying to help a fellow BH improve his game. Hope this helps, good luck.

Yeah I meant MBH/Mcarb/CM 4000. I love that template but as I said, fighting the 15% of the jedi on my server that are really good PVPers its coming up short. I use about 9 foods, and have Maxed SEA's with +25 Carbine Accuracy, +25 Ranged Acc, +25 Ranged Defense, +25 Melee defense, +25 Carbine Defense, +25 Ranged Speed, +25 Carbine Speed, +25 Healing Eff, +25 Melee Defense, +25 Defense Vs KD. My Armor is a RIS suit with 7200 Energy Resist, 6k Elementals and 5k Kinetic defense, Armor Break Sliced. As I said the template works Vs most jedi, but seriously comes up lacking against the best PVPers...my usual tactics are to keep the jedi at about 45 meters and when they get close pop a synthsteak and a duelist macro. However, on our server, we have a 24/7 war going on on Lok...all of the best PVPers are there pretty much 24/7. I spend quite abit of time Overt there myself, but decided to take a couple marks here and got owned big time... then after dueling testing for awhile, I noticed that keeping a god PVP jedi at bay is nearly impossible. and when they come close, they can wipe my mind out in about 4 or 5 root cycles...then I am toast. As I said I really dont want the cookie cutter template, I really love carbs and my template is geared around them. I have observed however that the CM debuffs really cut jedi damage down to a minimum. I plan on changng to the CM 0004 line in order to obtain the debuffs, my question is how much is the -45 Healing efficiency going to hurt me? I will still have Bactatoss, Spray and shot... and about 50 Healing Eff total. (SEA+medic)

Oh yeah my weapon is a 1063 damage/75 SAC/1.1 speed (Modified) E-11 Mk 2

Actually I am thinking of doing the cookie cutter template. I have calculated the mods with my current template VS going MBH/MCM/Carbs 0400 and the diffrences arent that much:

Current Template (MBH/Mcarbs/CM 4000)/(MBH/MCM/Carbs 0400)

Carbine Defense: 40/20

General Ranged Speed: 55/40

Melee Defense: 165/155

Carbine Accuracy: 65/65

Carbine Speed: 50/30

General Ranged Accuracy : 160/135

Healing Efficiency: 65/85

Ranged Defense: 190/180

I also would retain the best Carbine Skills: Our snare and Improved Legshot. So I guess losing a little speed and a few points of defense is worth the rewards of more jedi control... I guess I can trade my E-11 on the trade forums for an Equal Elite Carbine
