Thread: How does Carbineer/SL fare in PvP?
1.) Is formup and retreat the only real useful skills?
2.) I know formup can't be used while your dizzy or stunned yourself. Does that mean I'd have to stay covert and keep out of the fight as much as possible, especially because jedi will stun/dizzy everyone in range.
3.) Is retreat kinda useless in PvP groups due the the fact that it screws up forcerun for friendlys?
4.) Can I be a difference maker? After all is said and done, would I make a very noticiable impact or just have a couple neat toys?
I kinda liked being able to hold my own, against non-jedi at least. As a BH/Carbineer I felt I could handle stackers decently, will I totally lose that ablitity? I know SL is a breeze to grind, but BH isn't.
Are there any implications that I didn't even think about asking about that I should know about?
Thanks for your time and comments. Maybe we can make something up for the FAQ.

I tried a little Squad Leader in the TC and it seemed kinda fun. I thought about maybe trying it with my carbineer, but I dont want to drop BH and gimp myself lightly. I have a few questions. I have +25 speed/accuracy so that isn't a problem for me.

you also get mods for your group both ranged and melle defence, that helps alot.

dont have to stay covert, but you will have to stay out of the fight if you want to use your skills

retreat is awsome in pvp, tell the jedi in your group not to use FR, burstrun is faster then FR1 anyway. just spam retreat for your group

yes, but not in a combat skill, you will be the support.

you will have almost no defences, just stay out of the way of the main fight, you will depend on your group and your group on you.

Can you stay in the back?
You will be a first target.
system message is fun
