I have been pvping for about 4 months now, gone up against almost every profession. I have decided to change my template, and I was considering carbineer. I have seen that most people when pvping have armor focused on stun primarily, and lower resists on everything else. I am wondering does carbineer do well in pvp these days?

Don't you remember how well it does in PvP?
Sorry Couldn't resist. Carbineer isn't the greatest profession ever, extremely difficult to beat stackers and jedi, but if your good you can sometimes pull it off. If your expecting some uber I win profession and if you dont like dying alot no matter how smart you are, then I wouldn't suggest it. But I <3 the strategery involved, for example I have over 23 different foods toolbared that I used in different situations (like unbuffed against buffed).

Yea hehe, that was bad on my part. I was surprised tho, cause I was taking mind damage, didn't know carbineer hit mind. I know all about having a gimped prof, per se, pikeman without dots, rofl useless.

im a MBH/m.carbineer/novice brawler
my pvp rating is 1609.
i dont die to anything but DOTs and jedi, simple enough, rifleman are breskfest to me and tkm are dinner, stackers give us hard time but we can still win.
oo yeah i dont think im a carbineer, im a bounty hunter enhanced carbineer, shame we dont have a forum for that so firehawk can stop attacking every single BH/carb post, i guess a rifleman using the marksman bonus is not a true rifleman

I don't wanna do BH again, was thinking either carbineer with either doc/cm or with a melee prof.

There's a whole buncha threads on this exact topic just below.
Carbineer isn't great by itself, but with a lot of work, it can turn into a devastating profession that is easily able to compete. Above all, it's got finesse.
Yeah, that's the word I've been looking for, heh.. finesse. Elegance at its best.

Depending on how good the player is, the carbineer can rule in PVP with a decent DXR6. Practically everyone is ready vs stun damage these days so I don't see sonic blasters blaring around as often.

Taking on a jedi solo, he had about 10 guys beating on me (mostly TKM, swords and riflemen) while I had high resist armor, PSG and sythsteak- barely taking any damage while focusing on the jedi- sadly I was taken down by mind poison a CM tossed at me. If it weren't for the double mind poison I recieved, 2 more eyeshots and that jedi would've been a goner.

My brother and I had a fun little PvP run in with a couple of riflemen last night. My brother a swordsman/CM led the charge by about 70m. He ran right into the middle of the riflemen and started chucking poisons. Startled the riflemen start mind shotting my brother. I arrived about this time and KD'd the riflemen while they were busy HS3'ing my brother. Well if there is one way to slow a rifleman down, its being laid out on there back flopping. Just as soon as I dropped them my brother went to work with his powerhammer while I worked them over with crippling shot and the battle ended as soon as it had begun. It was after that encounter I decided we had a decent PvP combobetween the two of us(albeit a little lagging in the defense dept).

Krayted, scoped, stocked, yellow geo cubes and other colors, all put in a DXR6 carbine. that is how well carbineers do in pvp.
p.s. don't forget a 33% damage powerup (who cares about decay, its all about fun, when it dies, get another.

My MBH/Carbineer/Brawler gets raped by the all powerful Rifleman and anything Melee.
Rifleman's DPS is just too high for us to compete, unless they're noobs. Noranged profession can handle a speed capped600 max damage disruptor rifle, ora 300-400 Jawa.If they have any healing at all you won't beat a Rifleman. TKM/stackers on the other hand are near Impossible w/o DOT's, they use uber armor, buffs, food, you can't do anything to them unless you dizzy/KD them,but dizzy/KD isn't reliable IMO and is very hard to land on stackers. You stand no chance. They dizzy/kd, they warcry, they ntimidate, they stun, and the will head hit you for the win.
The only thing I can kill are other BH/Pistoleer/Smugs, Pikeman, and lower level jedi who stand no chance against me
