Come to the precious, we are always looking for the precious.........ERRRR Rifleman, come to the rifleman.
And conceal shot for XP is a bad idea,the XPyou can get with using HS2 is faster and more efficent. Also if you keep master CH it'sgreat for leveling, though the Action bleed rifle kiting combo should work well for XP also.

Carbineer is good for one special move. Chargeshot. Other than that, it's worthless to me.
A Carbineer can solo a nightsister. So can a rifleman. DPS, the rifleman can drop said Nightsister a LOT faster.
I'll put my PvP Rifleman in my custom Imp uniform against any BH/Carbineer. I'll beat them 10 out of 9 times (yes, you read that right). +106 defense to knockdown and +77 defense to posture change down will do that. Fire your cripple shot. It will miss. I won't.
Either way, to each his own. I find that rifleman is better than carbineer. I've mastered Pistoleer, Rifleman, and Carbineer. I've had the BH trees to them. Rifleman is just better right now.

And i'll pull out my master carbineer/pikeman and hit you for 1k action bleeds, then chargeshot spam (because the KD-lite can't be resisted). I can count all the times i've been killed or outdamaged by a rifleman on 1 hand. I dropped MCH for pikeman, and i'll never look back (of course, i'm dropping pikeman once i master it. bleh, what a **edit**ty prof). I'd suggest dropping MCH.

I'd freely duel you if you were on my server. To this day, I don't think i've ever been taken out by a Carbineer. The only Carbineer I've ever feared was the Goddess Belldandy, and that was a long time ago.
If you waste your time trying to bleed me, you will die. You've made 2 shots (using 2 seconds) and I'm not sure if either will hit. Actually, if they happened to, I'm not sure the bleeds would stick. I'm not sure about Chargeshot not being able to be resisted. I know for a fact I've been hit with one and didn't fall down.
Something else most people don't know. Spam charge shot all you want and I'll hit you from the ground. Charge shot isn't a true knockdown (animation, not mechanical. That's why it doesn't have a timer). If you don't try to get up, and time it correctly, you can fire from the ground.
This isn't to say that I'm unstoppable. I've been beaten many times before, but I drop a lot less times than I drop people.

yea, my tactic isn't to spam chargeshot, it's to use it once then hit FAS2 (for the blind/stun) and then spam crippling. usually dead by the 2nd crippling (blind is fun!)

I just finished up Rifleman for my second holocron. Took me a week on Dantooine hunting quenkers by myself at first until I got Flushing Shot II. Then had someone tank piket longhorns and protectors, voritor trackers, and graul maulers while I stood back and spammed flushing shot II. The XP came rolling in.
Conceal Shot is good as long as you dont miss. Just takes a looooooong time.
