Your crowd control/tank/de-buffer. You basacly control the persons movements and i notice you didn't use snare at all

Get a better gun (high damage but low SAC is more important) and SAC Pup it. If fighting melee then use the snare, why bother with the KD, there's no real use to it if you apply the snare other than as a help to finish someone off. And drop xxx4 CM for PvP, go 4xxx for the heals and use Duelist Stance since you have it. Then go out, learn your profession and don't judge it on one day. after a respec.

Fixed?
Post CU Carbineer/BH template is one of the most versatile and powerful templates in the game.
It still requires thought, practice, and knowledge of the weapon.
I solo Giant Krayt post CU and had little probs with an ancient. Carbs have very little trouble with most Post CU content. PvP it's a very good template with healing added. As far as dealing damage goes, I can out aggro any profession in game.
I would have loved to see you respec guys try Carbineer a year ago. It was a challenge then.

well im a cm carbineer and i can solo anything under level 90 withought even thinking about it. Dark jedi on endor? Easyer than krytes to me....Not sure what you use to be. Perhaps the people you were fighting were also quite good. But you do without a doubt have the skills to do a lot of nasty things in pvp....Just need to get use to using them.
Its not quite like before. You will find yourself using sevral attacks in a fight at diffrent times.
Who said kd is useless must not have realised the damage boost you get when they are down too....And if you shoot fast enough you can hit an NPC twice wile down before they get up usualy ending up in a loss of about 5k health....and you can do it again in 30 seconds.

Tactics.. Tactics... With that xxx4 CM and snares, you should be more than able to kill any melee people who charge at you. Same with critters in PvE...
Ranged... xxx4 CM is useful against them as well. Alter between shots, if you have a good SAC on your carb, you could fire Leg-Rapid Fire-Critical as Rapid Fire is on a different timer than the other 2, so you can shoot that whilst waiting for Critical to be ready to fire. And it does a fair amount of damage as well.
And we're still mainly a crowd control profession, even if it doesn't seem like that too much.Learn your tactics in duels first and then try out real PvP with the template. You should do just fine.

Did you expect that you would actually be able to control them? We're crowd control - slow them down, knock them down, etc. so other people have an easier time of killing them.

We have SNARE shots, not ROOTING shots. That's a pistoleer thing. The closest we come to rooting is the KD.
And like the man said, once they are down tear 'em up. After reading all this I'm thinking I may have to add CM to my template.
Hmmm...

U could try Master carbs, MBH, Pistols 0003 and medic 0020.
With +25 tapes the medic gives lovely heals every 5 seconds plus u also get the root.
Combine that with leg shot and critical shot and you are gonna have some major killing power plus some decent heals.
