cool, but the most you can have from attachments/clothing is 25 right?
Correct, total from everything you can wear at once is capped at +25 on each Mod.

But what good is high accuracy if we suck? I duelled a friend today. Oh, and I just added master carbineer to my master BH today too. I did land a few states, and even KD'd him once, but I barely even touched his HAM. He's a rifleman/swordsman and he whipped me so bad I felt like a Newb against a Rancor.
I think this template is terrible for dueling, however its great for ambushes and group PvP. In a duel anyone with good defenses will be totally prepared for most of your posture change attacks which renders your offenses basically ineffective. With a surprise attack you can catch your opponents unprepared and hit them with a quick KD before they are ready for anything. I find that the key for myself(MBH/Mcarb) to survive a prolonged encounter is to make sure I have my PvP armor, PSG, and steak all equipped and then to lay as many health dots as possible on my opponent and to stay outside of melee range. I find a hill then kite them up and down laying every health dot I have on them until they die. If they are a ranged opponent, well I KD or posture change them then cripple and sprayshot them to death. Out of the multitude of ranged professions and especially carbineers I have seen on my server; I have yet to cross paths with one that has stacked that class with fencer so theytypicallygo down on the first KD. 99% of the time rifleman are doctors, pistoleers& commandos areTKM's, and carbineers are bounty hunters.
A few necessities for the carbineer bounty hunter (beyond the obvious ones)in my opinion:
PSG - This is obvious, but overlooking it means instant death
300+ max damage scatter - used situationally forhealth dots and eyeshot. When you decide to lay on torso shot, make sure it counts by using an AP1 acid pistol that will do as much damage as possible.
Enhanced E11 and Advanced republic blater - A combined 255 points of health dot. Duration kind of stinks but its still a great addition if your kiting someone that cant shoot back.
vercupti & mandalorian wine - used for quick ham recoveries when your getting owned at close range. Eat a vercupti and swig a wine if you have the stomach space. It increases your ham and regeneration rates, both which can keep you alive long enough either to escape to optimal range or for someone to lend you assistance.
