Trying to decide whether to go Rifle/Carbine or pistol but havn't really got much knowledge on any of them. Would you guys be so kind as to help me decide which I should go for.

If it helps my main skill is as a BE/CH and as such I allways fight with a tank and sometimes a probot.

Thanks

If you're fighting with a tank, then yeah, pistol...

Rifle and carbinecould also work though, since you can use your pets to distract the enemy as you stay back a bit and fire

But since you are a tank, I would say pistol

If you have a tank, there is no drawback whatsoever to being a rifleman. Pistoleers suffer from a serious damage deficiency. Carbiniers would be overpowered if their HAM costs weren't so high.

As a BE/CH, Pistol should be your choice.

Why?

Pistol can do all the damage required, if fighting beasts is your primary. Pistols do the least damage the fastest, and if you are sampling, and get aggrod, you aint gonna be able to shoot things fast enough from melee range with a rifle, and considering how much mind it takes to sample, rifle would kill you before anything else does.

Pistols can do Acid, Energy, Heat, Stun and Kinetic. The Kinetic and Stun isn't that great, but as you can see you get to do the most damage types.

Keep in mind the time it takes to fire a blaster, whether it be a rifle, carbine or pistol when you are aggrod and have whatever you were trying to sample on top of you in seconds.

Thanks for the best feedback of all 3 forums (Carbineer dejenerated into a non-sensicle thread and rifleman was ignored)... Regarding the BE/CH thing. Was a bit misleading, I use a bike and run when sampling but as I'm a BE use BE'd pet's (so high HAM) when fighting - plus can do things like make custom pet's with high HAM and low attack for example. Still hasn't entirely helped my decision though :/

Well, then maybe Marksman wouldn't even help. Maybe the points would be better spent in mastering Scout, or even better, some Ranger to help you find those rare beasts with the good samples. Not to mention, in regards to camo/maskscent, you guys need all the help you can get to stay masked when sampling aggro beasts.

Good luck in your decisions.
