It's impossible since there's a natural percentage to miss (or rather there's a natural chance of evading / dodging / blocking / counterattacking) an attack regardless of the profession.

As such, it's generally agreed that the 'effective' accuracy cap is around 250-300 or so.. which is easy to reach with high-ideal-accuracy carbines, citros snowcakes and of course SEAs.

I have never really used snowcake. Traditionally my stomach is full of brandy and ahrissa. Course I only PvE really. But I got this super nice laser with a 225 Mind Poison for 125s this week. What would I need to know to PvP?

Check out the Carbineer PvP guide in the FAQ. It's pretty general in that it addresses the standard tactics regardless of exactly what your Carbineer build is, but it's also specific in the means that can be employed to bring certain opponents down.

Snowcake isn't required in PvP, and I myself don't frequently use it, but it's very effective nonetheless. Ultimately, you'd want to use your Mind Poison carbine with an area attack if you're going against a group of people - using FullAutoArea2 is a natural choice simply because it can inflicts states as well.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of opening up with the DoT, sticking it, and then following through with the standard Carbineer PvP tactics. Potency is the ultimate factor in deciding how effective your DoT carbine is.. naturally having more accuracy helps land those shots better on stackers... but a low potency weapon will rarely stick, for example.
