Not sure about one of the most powerful.....lack of defenses make that weaker than a Carbineer/Fencer for instance....I should know, I have beaten numerous BH's

But yes, it is a very nice template.

It is easy to counter any other prof's weapon except a Flashlight and CM Junk

And any ranged template against a Jedi with +85 Saber Block (which is way more than 75% of high level Jedi) is a total waste unless you have a gank squad.

There are a couple things to watch out for, combat medic is one of them (with anything) and rifleman/doctor is another. Why not fencer and doctor? Or TKA and doctor? I'll tell you why. These two professions lack ranged mitigation, so using a laser carbine on them will result in MASSIVE damage.

This is true, but remember that any prepared opponent, even one lacking in Ranged Mitigation, can completely absorb the damage most BH/Carbineers can dish out. Intimidate2 or even Intimidate1 is extremely effective in reducing our damage output, and a good PvPer never gets dizzy/KD'd for more than a few seconds.. getting back up is easily done.

Synthsteak and PSGs also take a toll and thus reduce our damage even more, not to mention composite armor which, by itself, is rather effective. The ineffectiveness of states on certain melee-stacked builds also prevents us from even getting a KD or posture in, let alone a blind, stun or dizzy to stick. There are still many ways to get around a Carbineer's strengths, but hey, if that wasn't possible, we'd be FOTM and would need a nerfin'

Remember that the mitigation argument also applies to us. Without melee mitigation, an MBH/MC is dead on arrival if unprepared. A simple stun baton will tear through any PSG and 40% resists on Composite won't save us.

That said, a MBH/MC's defense is indeed their offense, so keeping a distance and playing things smartly does result in it being a rather effective profession.. PvP viable anyway. It sure does become kick-ass when you have a nice Carbine though.. but it's not the mother-of-all ranged builds.
