Carbineer Archive

I was wondering what the better class was to go with TKA. I'm looking to be good at both ranged and close quarter fighting. Carbineer and Rifleman are good ranged although I'm not sure what is better. Commando is better at close range but I like their cool weapons, and CH is pretty powerful, but if I fight a mob with my pet and myself, the mob only hits me not the pet, so that defeats the point of the pet tanking.

Any suggestions of a good second profession?

Somthing nice about TKA is that you can hit mind ( i know they can also hit other pools, but mind is a big weakness, if you heal, it make it worse )

so rifleman would be a good suggestion, when a mob get close, draw the knucler, and suffer no penalty for melee
