Hey,
Right now my template is: Bh 3/4/4/0, Master Pistoleer, Medic 2/0/0/0, Novice Brawler. Pretty much, i only use carbines to hit Confusion/FKD and then i use pistols to do all of my damage.
I am thinking of switching my template to: BH 3/4/0/0, Master Carbineer, Pistoleer 0/0/4/0, Medic 3/1/0/0. My only hesitation is that without stun damage, i won't be able to do much damage in PvP to enemies wearing decent Composite armor. Is that true or not? Would this be a good template, or should i stick with pistols?

If your worried about the stun damage why not try this:
BH 3420
Pistol 0040
Master Carbs
Medic 2000
With this you have the Geo pistol cert. and eyeshot from BH while still really being a carbineer and keepingfirst aid from medic.
Personally I don't miss not having a stun wepon but I have beenn a carbineer from my first week so I never hadit to miss. Instead I have some really nice carbs. and rely onstate application to try and level the field.

Why do people worry so much about stun damage? Are there still servers with players not wearing stun armor?

I bet there is.....I visited Valcyn and noticed far less players, probably half or less, than what is on Chilastra.....many servers are becoming ghost servers....hence the need for Character Move....and Character Purge before the Move.....

it's not that people don't have stun armor, its just that my Geo blaster has 300 dmg base, which is just as much as any other weapon,soi will do more damage to40% def to stun than 70-80% to energy from a carbine.

Yes, but your Stun gun gets killed by a PSG.
Acid damage doesn't.
Stun weapon = crap.

BH Carbs / Carbineer / Pistol Techniques 4 / Novice Brawler / First Aid 1 / Pharmacology 3
That's my template. I don't use a Geo, since I don't have any specials that are worthwile to use with it.
I can live without a stun weapon because I know what I'm doing.
If you can live without a stun weapon, Carbines shouldn't be too hard to use. If you can't, then you'll just be fodder for the big boys.
