I understand how the range of using pistols is shorter than carbs and against a full jedi template this might be at a disadvantage, but as far as damage ....how much less damage would a high end pistol do versus a high end carb? Would it balance out because of the pistols speed?
My template is going towards carbineer but now I'm thinking of ditching it and training up to be a Master Pistoleer along with Master Bounty Hunter. Just need to test out different templates I guess but I want to be good at PVP along with PVE and be able to solo krayts, nightsisters, and other high end mobs. Do I really have to have some combat medic healing skills (CM 4000) to be effective? Can I just use Ruby's and Stim D's for healing just as well?
I've read alot of posts on the Jedi forums and full jedi templates always talk about how they beat MBH, MRM, CM 4000 templates all the time. Even a few jedi's said that they beat MBH, MCM templates as well. Especially the MLS, MDefender jedi templates. I'm thinking ...maybe the players that have MBH, MPistoleers, Carb 0220 templates have some kind of advantage because of the versatility their template has. They can root, KD, snare, have decent damage but no healing except for Ruby's and Stim D's. One person mentioned going MBH, MPistols, Smuggler 4000 and when they get low on health they just last ditch and if it sticks it's an automatic jedi incap, but I figure...if this was a great way to kill jedi then why isn't EVERYONE using this template so I figured that the success rate of last ditch wasn't too great.
I kinda need some help deciding if anyone is interested. Sorry for the long post.
Can you guys tell me your templates and your jedi killing and pve success stories?
Thanks in advance!

Recently went from Pistoleer to Carbines. Carbines do a lot more damage it seems, as I was able to fight a TKM/ M Pikeman/ Doc to a draw with Master Smuggler, Master Carbines, 0004 Pistoleer, and Novice Medic. With pistols, I can intim and stuff, but most large NPC's and players regen almost as fast...

I think the edge, unfortunately, goes to Carbines.
More hitting power.
Unless they really do something to make the States worth it. 'Cause you have 20 extra meters to shoot from, and to my knowledge, you don't have an accuracy penalty to make up for it.
