Well, I made my alt a pistoleer and I'm regretting it. All but 2 of the pistoleer specials are broken and they have horrible DPS (damage per second). I was actually here browsing the forums thinking about dropping pistoleer and going carbs. I'd definately say carbs.

Pistoleer is easy to augment though with smuggler and BH. Last ditch has a very high DPS and Geo pistol is great of PvP. There are more than 2 working specials. They consider a special like BodyShot3 broken because its DPS isn't as good as Bodyshot2 unless your hitting the speedcap. If thats the case than Crippleshot is broken if compared to FullAutoSingle2. Fantshot is great as well as stoppingshot and pistoleers get nice defenses.

I can clear this up by saying, well, since I've been a Master Carbineer/BH Carbineer 4 I have never been killed by a pistoleer of any combination.

Go with carbineer if your using the BH template.

Pistols and Carbines are really quite different styles of play. My friend has a Master Pistoleer that I play quite often and the class works far better than most pistoleers would leave you to believe. My honest opinion is the classes are very similar in terms of effectiveness with the differences being playing style.

I can only suggest you try out both and see which you prefer.

Is thisa 'pick your poison' question?

Pistoleer: Wide Range of Damage types (Energy, Kinetic, Stun, Heat, Acid)(not as many as Rifleman), Fast (Not as fast as a Rifleman), Relatively low HAM costs (Negated by Buffs), Very Few interesting specials within the realm of "Pistoleer" (Smuggler and Bounty Hunter don't count). Vast Majority of specials don't work properly, or are vanilla. (ex: Pistol Melee Defense 1 is a melee knockdown, but Pistol Melee Defense 2 has no status associated, just slightly higher damage)

Basically, the Pistoleer is boned in terms of DPS when compared to most if not all other professions and most specials are whacked out in some way that being a "Master Pistoleer" doesn't make up for, and their low dps = little use in high end content

Carbineer: Very high HAM costs on almost all weapons, poor accuracy vs anything that rushes you (ideal ranges tend to be 30-50m with huge negatives at close or far range), VERY FEW damage types (Energy, Heat, Acid) Can lead to being locked out of high end content.

So, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

you are probably best of molding the two into one big gun and shooting yourself in the face
