Thread: Rifleman/Bounty Hunter combo???
My previous template was Master Rifleman/Master BH/Pistoleer xxx3 and the hunting line of scout. My new template is Master Carbineer/Master BH/Master Marksman and the hunting line of scout.
Im more effective with rifles using the second tempate than the first. The additional general speed and accuracy from Master Marksman almost completely counteract the lost rifle speed and accuracy, and damage is exactly the same. Carbineer gives me a KD that works almost every time(unlike Underhand Shot), area attacks, an area snare(if they ever get it working) and a single-target snare that actually works.
EDIT: I also have more melee defense, and can actually use a Carbine well.
A MR/MBH can use a rifle fairly well and a carbine to an average degree. A MC/MBH can use a carbine exceptionally well and a rifle just as well as a MR/MBH.

I'm Master rifles/carbs BH 4/1/3/0 and it's working great for me so far. Of course I haven't tested it an incredible amount for PvP it works amazingly in PvE. If kneecap shot worked I could solo anything before it ever got to me thanks to the speed reduction shots I have and then just spamming crit; I really don't use my rifleman specials all that much in comparison to the carb ones or BH in truth. The aoe abilities and high damage is great and if snipershot wasn't buggy I bet I could beat just about anything alone.
I lag too much to effectively test this out against my jedi friends but I was doing pretty well when you take that into consideration, and the KD shots/range increases they get on me because of it. Besides I mainly have the investigation tree for duelist stance not jedi hunting so if I'm not the perfect huntsman it's no skin off my back. I'd be happy to get some feedback and advice for this though, if anyone else has tested it out and knows a few tweaks that I didn't think of/try but so far I'm thinking this is the way to be. Plus it gives you the bestarmors since assault only really worksagainst meleeand you shouldn't be letting stuff intothat range to begin with.
Chipmunk the only real things you miss in your template are Stopping Shot & that +40 GenAccuracy you get with Pistol 0-4-0-4:
