Carbineer Archive

I came back SWG recently, soloing most of the time. I recently master carbine and have some spare SP to spare, so I'm considering 2 options:

P0103 - for stop regen and root shots, higher melee/range def.

BH4040 - for dizzy+stun shots, duelist instance and another KD (does it stack with with carbineer's KD or diff timer?)

I can't decide which to go, though I'm now having P103:

1. The root shot doesn't last long, and don't seem to work well vs >CL80 mobs.

2. Not too sure if the stop regen stop is working too, or whether the impact on mob regen is useful since when solo CL80-83 mobs/npc, the fights end pretty fast.

3. This template end up having too many shot icons: 3 for same (aim shot for recycle shooting, adv rapid fire to chain with improve leg shot), charge (KD), adv supression fire (snare), stopping (root),burst shot (stop regen), scatter (cone dam), full auto (con dam), crippling (cone snare), can be quite messy esp for 1-on-1 short fights.

I wonder if BH4040 is better for pple like me who just wanna kill mobs ASAP. Regardless of template, I always pull with my pet, let it hit 10-15% dam on mob and I whack full force. Most of the time I need to tank abit, but mob normally won't hit me more than 50% hp which can be easily regen via sitting or stim-D.

I understand BH4040 give stun+dizzy shot, as well as KD, so few questions:

1. How does the stun+dizzy (confusion shot) works? B4 I MIA like 2 yrs ago, dizzy means the toon keep falling and can't atk. I believe some effects are now "balanced" and last shorter duration. I wonder if stun+dizzy can last longer and/or work better than root?

2.2 yrs ago, dizzy+KD = death coz target can't get up for long duration.I wonder how well this effects stack now?

3. Does BH's KD share the same timer as carbineer's KD? Or they are on diff timer, ie can have 2 KD within 30 sec?

4. How good is improvedduelist instance, in term of duration, re-use delay and stats/def improvement.

I solo most of the time since I dun play often and have limited gaming time, yet I wanan get a template which is useful again high CL creatures like Kyrats. I read that some MC with dabbing or another combat master prof can solo these high lvl creatures, I hope to do the same with MCH+MC+dabbling. While I believe BH0404 will give me higher dam, I wanan make sure the BH skills are oso useful in doing kiting like pistoleer's root shots.

Appreciate all advices and feedback.

Thx for the feedback. Currently I don't have much prob dealing with CL80-83 pets, but I read from some threads that pple are soloing gorax, kyrats etc. I wonder which dab, BH4040 or P0103, will help MCH+MC template better, with pet as a DoT.

Thanks again.
