Hey guys,

As the two posters in this forum that I respect the most, I have a question for both of you.

If you *HAD* to surrender some Carbineer (from Master) in order to make room for some Pistoleer (Thinking 0043 Pistoleer), what would you surrender?

I was thinking of eventually ending up with Carbineer looking like this: 3404 (or is it xxx3? I forgot what 0004 gives.)

I just dont see counterattack as being actually helpful, in PvE or PvP. I've looked at the logs, and been a master carbineer for over 3 weeks now, and I just dont see it as being all that helpful. Maybe the +25 in Tapes makes a difference that I havn't seen, but thats my stance on it as of now.

Also, I suppose it should be noted that I will be a MBH as well. I already have BH Carbines 4 though (helped phenominally with levelling Carbineer.)

I'd quit the game before dropping Master Carbineer

I think the answer to your question comes down to, do you like scatter2 or burst2 more?

I'd try to keep speed at +90 so you cap on everything. That means you need a 1 box of assault. That also means you don't need much of the assault line if you can live without scattershot2.

My answer would be to drop the assault line (except for 1 box) in order to keep burstshot2. You might hate the counterinsurgency line, but burstshot2 is a very nice special. I prefer crippleshot to scattershot2 because I am a believer in the laws of averages.

You mileage may vary

To be completely honest, I havn't messed around much with Scattershot2 or Burstshot2. I'm a big fan of FullAutoSingle2 and FullAutoArea2, but then again, I've only been a 'high up' carbineer for a few days now. I suppose before I make any decisions I should really experiment with the high end specials to see what the end result will be.

As I said before, the reason that I was thinking about surrendering Counterinsurgency is totally based on the fact that it's broken. I plan on doing quite a bit of PVP soon but I'm a big believer in efficiency, which I havn't been able to test yet due to lack of time. (specials wise).

Luckily though, I feel that I'll be moving back to Carbineer, as Pistoleer is just a badge, and a pistolwhip

/sigh being a bounty hunter has a lot of tough choices. Either way it comes down to "Do you wanna hit mind, or blast them with high damage and status effects?"

Thanks for the quick reply, by the way.

TAFireHawk, any suggestions? I know you've said it in multiple forums before, but I just wanted some special attention. call me needy if you want

Sorry I hadn't been on here in awhile....

To me it comes down to wanting Cone Effect Specials or not....while you use FAA2, which is great for States, BurstShot2 is just SICK at damage....ScatterShot2 MIGHT be better in PvP but I am not convinced it is that much better.

And I have to agree with Nova, I use CripplingShot before ScatterShot2 in 99% of my fights.....and PvP is such a waste I don't count that much anymore

The most logical line to give up is Speed since you have that to spare with MBH.....and while Counterattack doesn't work unless you defense stack it, BurstShot2 is truly a sweet shot....identical to FanShot in Pistoleer.

Personally, I'm BH 3444 (Gotta kill 40 more jedi till MBH), Carbineer 0404 Pistoleer 0340 Novice Brawler. I'm really enjoying the template as I have alot of options and I'm really not missing out on anything Carbineer or PIstoleer (cept DE10 cert). I don't feel that I've lost any of Carbineer's power since dropping master. Maybe if they give us a reason to master I'll drop brawler and part of pistoleer to remaster (MBH Mcarbineer Pistoleer 0030).

I thought about doing the Pistoleer 0043 thing, but is PistolMeleeDefense2 all that good? I've heard pistoleer's whining about it. Personally I just like the PistolMeleeDefense1 animation, and sometimes it's handy to have that 'get off me' attack.

I'll have to look at all the options that Pistoleer grants, because I know that a big thing I'de like to achieve is speedcapping Carbines and Pistols (hopefully without the use of Skilltapes) and it's NOT that hard with MBH.

On a side note: I like how you plan to get your investigation xp. I think I'll adopt that policy as well
