Pistols works well beacause you are within 35m range most of the time and have states and crowd control specials to add to your CM debuffs.

I'd say go for Pistols over rifles as movement speed with a rifle looks like it will be getting slowed down so kiting via Electrolyte Drain wont be as easy.

Pistols and CM are a perfect combo. All sorts of useful tactics open up and the crowd control is unmatched.

I am currently MC/MCM NOVIE DOC. I enjoy the template, but I find I use the carbs very infrequently in groups. I spend 90% of my time stating and healing. I was a BH before the CU and I erroneusly kept the damage quotient in my head when I respeced when it is really secondary in this kinda temp. Carbs and rifles are great when you're a damage dealing temp, Pistols work much better to lay some states and to crowd control. I truly miss stopping shot. I am gonna cap out my pistols exp and the kill MC and pick up MP again.

pistols are cool


rifles are cool


carbs are cool


unarmed is cool


1hd is cool


etc....



sorry, everything is kool in it's own right.... if you are going to be a support character, i'd recomend pistol or carb for specials


if you are going to solo, id recomend pistols


if you are going to hunt jedi, why are you even mastering cm?


just 1 combanation that sounds uber but don't EVER do is MCM/MSquad you have way too much agro from cm to do any squad stuff.... this combo just doesn't work, unless your main tank is a TKM/MCM who is focusing on useing bacta spray and COB....


but in the end it's all up to you...


i'm impartial to pistol/cm though with some doc through into the mix

Pistols are kinda easy to just root and shoot down, carbine atleast gives u a lill bit more range

You can always pull out a nice Krayt Advanced Laser rifle if range is an issue.

Snares stack with Electrolyte Drain, so I'd recommend Carbines or Rifles, just for the joy of slowing somebody's movement speed to a crawl.

I'm MCM - MBH - Pistoleer 0003 with some medic.

I agree with what Zimal said in that they are all good just depends what your trying to do.

However with MBH you can be effective with all weapons and allows you much more flexability.

I primarily use my scatter pistol...electro drain and kite while my dots are ticking. I also use KD early and often.

Get your ranged defense and general accuracyup with some plates and bio clothes then you can bealmost as good withany weapon you pull outta your pack.

Set up some healing macros and you can solo full template knights.

Takes forever and they usually end up running but it's the most fun i've had with a template since launch.
