Well carbineer is a good PvP class as long as they arnt hitting you

I can kill rifleman, pistoleers, TKAs, Pikeman, Swordsman, Fencer, and Jedi. It only gets bad when they are KD stacked or dizzy stacked, rule of thumb is to keep them on their back or kneeling ALWAYS dizzy and stuned. after you get by those barriers figure out what gun suits you best on what class, such as a DXR6 on fencers and a Laser Carbine on Rifleman.

Uhm, i don't know the stats of your carbines, but in the majority of cases the laser carbine is the best choice against pure melees (no ranged mitigation) and the DXR6 against rangeds (ranged mitigation), that being said it's the other way around.

Not being a Bounty Hunter and thus not really involving myself too much into low-to-mid level Padawan "PvP", in my experience, those that PvP frequently (in other words, those that go Overt to seek PvP) are either full-fledged Jedi Knights or those that can compete with such knights.. In other words, everyone is dizzy & KD stacked.

I rarely bother with KDs at all in PvP anymore, since Thakatillo alone gives any profession an immediate effective cap on KD defense. Non-stacked templates also use Dizzy food, including Jedi, so sticking that state without something like Sprayshot or ConfusionShot is pretty difficult.. you have to rely primarily on "hoping" it sticks after a Stun and following with Posture-changes. It's what I noticed, anyway. I can't remember the last time my ChargeShots actually KDd someone instantly without a lot of "work" involving inhibiting states or posture-downs, heh. Maybe the BH experience is different due to the increased accuracy.. /shrug

As far as "good only if we don't take damage", I'm not sure if I agree with that, considering that anyone essentially takes the same amount of damage, mitigation and unarmed toughness aside. It doesn't really matter if you're a Rifleman, Carbineer or Pistoleer.. the same armor and foods will result in the same HAM bar loss, regardless of what's hitting you. Agreed, our lack of Ranged and Melee defense (or Dodge) does passively affect us in that the frequency of shots hitting us is increased.. but it's not so much that there's a huge gap between our ability to evade shots as any other ranged profession.

A Carbineer's only weakness in terms of "staying alive" in PvP are his/her ability to stand up (resist dizzy/KDs) and effectively keeping a distance between their opponent. Even if we barely evade, counterattack, etc., taking damage, unless we're up against Jedi/DoTs, shouldn't be too much of a problem for our profession. It'd effectively dishing it back (without the use of godly 1100 Laser Carbines..lol) which is a problem, if anything.
