Carbineer
Primary Role: Medium Range Crowd Control (Position Control)
Secondary Role: Medium Range Area Effect Damage Specialist
Offense: Strong (4)
Defense: Minimal (1)
Crowd Control: Strong (4)
The Carbineer is a medium range control specialist. He or she has potent abilities to keep targets at a distance and reduce their combat effectiveness. The Carbineer also has powerful Area Cone attacks allowing them to effectively fight groups of targets. Once an opponent is able to close with the Carbineer however they're quite vulnerable.
Profession Mixing Tip: Carbineer crowd control skills are specialized in controlling an opponent's position. Slowing an opponent's movement speed and pushing them back away from the Carbineer are potent abilities for controlling the flow of combat. These abilities combined with fairly strong offensive abilities, particularly when faced with a group of opponents, leave the player with a very potent set of skills. Adding additional ranged skills from other professions only increases a Carbineer's power and options on the battlefield. An alternative template combination may be to add one of the more defensive professions for a well rounded combat character.

Basically, I think our job solo is to kite, using "crippling shot" and "charge shot" to slow and kd our opponent, and then use "leg shot" for the kill. For groups, we have a cone attack and a knockdown / dizzy attack.
Pikeman
Primary Role: Melee Opponent Control (Attacker Modifiers)
Secondary Role: Melee Crowd Control (Attacker Control)
Offense: Weak (2)
Defense: Strong(4)
Crowd Control: Moderate(3)
The Pikeman specializes in controlling and tanking groups of opponents. In addition to a generally strong defensive ability the Pikeman has the ability to significantly reduce an opponent's combat ability. These defensive abilities combined with some good area attack capabilities make the Pikeman a strong combatant.
Profession Mixing Tip: The Pikeman tanking ability is mostly based in their abilities reduce an opponent's ability to deliver damage. This ability combines exceptionally well with other defensive profession abilities such as Teras Kasi. A Pikeman who is not specialized in defensive skills is still extremely useful in a group situation as their ability adds perfectly to the defensive skills of other players allowing them to stay alive longer than they ever could on their own. While Pikemen are not by default powerful offensively they do get extremely useful utility abilities and area attacks that when combined with other offensive professions skills, like those from Swordsman, allow for some devastating combinations.
Anything like this you could do?
