i have been testing withMBH/Mcabs and have done fairly welll with it but how dose M rifle man do?

the pros i can see for it is

1 recon armor wich has the best energy resits

2 high damge out put

3 long range

the consi can think of are

1 high action costs

2 no battle armor certs vattle armor seems to be the best for generel pvp and pve

so whould rifle work better than carbine or should i stick with that?

Rifles do more base damage, couple of there abilities are bugged though.


I'd go with rifles but its really personal prefrence in the CU.

hmm still too close for me. Get one of those "flawless pearl saber" jedis.


And pistols won't save you.

if you know how to use pistols...you will beat any jedi 90% of the time (yes, even MDefenders)

Every bh that I have seen got close to longhas died.



Ask jedis they will say themselves "no match for ranged".

Carbines is a great "Support" profession.
If you want to solo a jedi go either Pistoleer, Rifleman, or Commando.

Then you did not almost lose to a 40K jedi...you almost lost to a Pistoleer. At 40K, the skills a jedi have are mearly a side note. They are still very well speced in regular skills.


As for the original posters comment about carbines being "support".....Get Carbineer and MBH and come back more educated. A smart BH with MBH/MCarb is a very deadly force and can solo jedi as well as any of the others.

I was master bounty hunter and master carbine pre cu and post cu and I wondered about going rifleman for a bit here’s what I found out, don’t’ go rifleman don’t go master carbineer which I loved to bits but do go master pistols instead and carbines 0440.

Rifleman is riddled with broken specials when they fix them, personally I think it will be a great profession again, carbineer only has two good specials improved leg shot and cripple shot that can be used in the game safely and currently work 100% of the time, don’t attempt to use any area effect shot or you’ll find your self in the cloner very quickly, hence the reason for going pistoleer as all specials work with all weapons and again did I mention pistoleer has a root stopping shot.

So, go pistoleer for that amazing stopping shot and take the 0440 line from carbineer mix that with master bounty hunter and you have for me a very solid profession. Distance is not a factor at the moment currently I’m using a laser rifle 1100 max dam at 64 m (but you could use he Llc 60 m max range)with specials that work, so don’t go rifleman until they fix the specials, tried it and for me it does not work.
