It gives you 2 high damage shots as opposed to a pistolerr 0/0/0/4 temp which you have 1 (advanced crit)

I'm MBH, MCM, Carb 0400

Sure its not quite as powerful since they nerfed snare stacking. However it does give you the best +weapon accuracy tree from any ranged weapon profession, which means you actually have a chance of hitting and hurting a full-temp Jedi with your gun

I was wanting to be a MBH, MCM, Carb 0400 but because of the nerf where ED doesn't stack anymore with Crippling shot I'm not sure it would be a viable option. What do you guys think? For hunting jedi? or PvE?

MBH, MCM, Carb 0400

MBH, MCM, Pistols 0004

or

MBH, MCM, Rifles 4000

Which do you guys have the most success with?

What's "ED" ?

ED = Electrolye drain.

Now... Maybe I'm reading a bit too much in to this but...
Can people please stop calling the stacking of a root or snare a nerf? These weren't intended to be stacked. But this name "nerf" is being thrown around like it's no tomorrow.
By calling "nerf" You are negating the game mechanics and a degree of common sense. On why things changed like they did.
Just because the profession changed doesn't give you a right to call this a nerf. For doing so you are degrading the people and the very avenue you comment in. The people in this forum deserve more from you than your simple adjectives that discount a great many things.
A lot has changed
Doc buffs combined with jedi speed buffs. can't do it.
Same with paralyze and damage... doesn't work.
The list goes on & having fought against them or been any of the other professions that have undergone changes I'm sure at least some of you can see the reason behind it.
Feel free to express your frustration "because you really liked to use it or whatever" hell make it a fun story. But lets raise the bar of common sense by understanding why & by not throwing accusations around like a 1 dollar bill.

Uh and I'm thinking on going carbines ...

Simply haveing MBH/MCM gives you two high-damaging attacks that are both on different timers - Torso Shot and Advanced Critical. According to my combat log Torso Shot actually does MORE damage to my target than Advanced Critical provided it doesn't hit a +Critical+. I must say however that after trying the Pistoleer xxx4 line I'd still recommend Carbineer x4xx as this gives you access to carbines that are immensely more powerful than pistols in Minimum-Maximum Damage vaules. You'll find that Stopping Shot will rarely ever land against a Jedi and then you're stuck without another shot for 30 seconds or so afterwards. At least with x4xx in Carbines you're gaining more accuracy as well as a good +Snare+. You can actually start off your attack from a ranged now and eat away at them alittle before they close the gap.

Hmm.... Vey good to know, I have a master carbineer almost master BH in my guild that will love this although I am going to have to get them really low sac weapons to alternate between adv crit torso shot, and improved leg....
