Currently I am a Master Rifleman 0440 Commando 4000 TK, I am thinking about scrapping that template and going Carbineer/BH.
I love PVPing, and with Rifleman, I always felt like I could handle myself pretty well. /flex
I am attracted to Carbines because of the KD/Dizzy and other fun stuff, in the past BH/Carbineers have dropped me on my butt for a long time before I could recover. I want to dish it back.
I read that stuff about damage mitagation and it is quite intriging
Few Questions Though..
First of all, I care not for what Carbines can do in PVE, I'm sure i can handle almost anything with it and a good laser carbine.
In a Rifle infested server (Sunrunner) can MC/BH go toe to toe with a few riflemen who are full armored 80% Comp, buffed, fooded, spiced and knocked up to the gills with every nasty enhancement know to man?
how well do the KDs work? I know Fire KD is great, but does Chargeshot ever KD reliably on skilled human players?
What tactics can you recomend to take out players? macros, guns, etc.
Can you honestly say that MC/BH can roll with the best PVPers out there and suggest that i take the plunge?

BH Carbines and Carbineer itself are more complimentary professions, used for KDs and Status effects. You could never compare the damage of Rifleman opposed to Carbineer. Anyone with Ranged mitigation 3 and some 80+ Composite armor can completly counter your dmg, especially considering the Best damage carbine has a high damage range and mitigation completely kills it. Though, Carbineer does have some of the highest damage modifier shots.Areally good, and i emphasize REALLY, Elite Carbine does have a potential if you can lay someone on the floor with a dizzy/KD and go at them with Scatter 2 or Crippling shot. But still, you would never get the same DPS as a Rifleman with a Ion. a Possibility is to pick up the Carbineer abilites line for a good KD with Rifleman and Commando, and maybe even keep novice brawler for intim. Rifleman Flurry2 can be used to AoE dizzy and Chargeshot 2 can be used as an AoE KD. Just some ideas to dwell upon. Until carbineer gets some updates and fixes, it's pretty much just a complimentary class, but one of the better complimentaries there is.

I agree with everything the previous poster said, with one addition. If your target eats a Thakatillo +97 to KD defense, you aren't going to win.

Not really a big deal. toss down a suppression2 or action 2 and they should fall eventually. Still not as good as a solid kd, but effective nonetheless.

Flurry shot 2 is an awesome Dizzy, it almost always sticks. so used with chargeshot2 could be worth it you think?
maybe I'll try Master Rifleman/ Master Carbineer hmmmm...
