I logged in for the first time since the CU and noticed a lot of differences with all of the specials I once had. I would like some advice as to what profession would go with my current MBH. Prior to the CU I was a MBH with 0030 Pistoleer. Now Pistoleer doesn't seem to be that effective at that level. Can anyone tell me what the best compliment would be for MBH. I enjoyed both, I want the profession that would be bestsoloed.

I'd probably suggest to chance to 0003 pistoleer from 0030. That stopping shot special would compliment your BH template well.

Thanks for the information. I'm amazed that nobody is suggesting Master Carbineer. I still have about a week for my respec so I'll have to change the layout a bit. Right now I am a MBH from pre CU and a 4/4/3/0 Pistoleer post CU. Looks like I should get the stopping shot first.


Is it that Pistoleer is a better prof, or it just compliments BH? I know the specials before CU were outstanding. Unfortunately now I'm the weakest CL 70 to play the game. I dont want to perfect the specials for a prof. that I may not keep.

I started the CU with MBH/MP/Master Marksman. It was ok, but I really care all that much for the specials so I went to MCarb instead of pistols. I like that combo because the armor is better rounded (good defense vs all damage types)and it lets me use my preferred weapon, the Proton Carbine, to its highest potential (540+ MDPS).


I'm currently adding Pistol x-x-x-3 to finish my character off so I can have a decent root attack. As for the other specials, I'll admit I mostly use BH moves, but have Advanced Rapid Fire loaded as my auto-attack. Since switching to Carbines I have a much easier time soloing, but that may be more my playstyle than my profession. Grouped with a decent healer, I can tank for extended periods of time with little trouble (other than my quickly drained Action).

It's subjective. I'm also Master Squad Leader, we've got more pistols than carbines, yet after I capped out on pistol xp and combat xp it grew boring so I went carbines. Plus, getting the Clone Armor solidified it for me. I've got a desk top wallpaper of a Clone Trooper with a carbine that just spoke my character. All weapons are good, all are bad. There is no best weapon. Think as your character would. What would they chose and why? That's the best suggestion I can give you. Hope it helps.
