Thread: Best temp to compliment M.Rifles thats not BH
MRM: Best damage, best range.
MCM: Great healing, DoTs and States sticking and effectiveness.
M. Marksman: General Ranged Accuracy +25 and General Ranged Speed +15 make a huge difference. Lethal shot is very nice as well.
Pistoleer: 0001: Pistols is better than carbine as you get general ranged accuracy in novice as opposed to carbine giving carbine acc. Alot of PvP templates have KD so there will most likely be alot of timers on enemies. Root is less common and with rifle range or to get some distance after applying MCM states very nice.
I'm a big fan of M. Marksman and wish I could fit it into my MBH/MRM template.
Edit: Forgot to mention this includes your FS speed as well as FS Ranged accuracy +9 (3rd box)

it really depends on what kind of PvP you're into.
Number one is the best in group PvP, the root is huge, it allows your melee guys to focus on one target, and stops jedi from forcerunning away. The damage you sacrifice won't effect the group as a whole much at all.
If you're a duelist i like template two the best, root is nice against melee and jedi, but i can't justify giving up so much damage (either by losing leg hit, or less consistant and damagingDoT's) enough to grab it. you have a KD, multiple snares and delays... you're going to be hard to catch regardless.. the most annoying duels will be against enhancers with forcerun.. try to time your KD so that he flies by you.
choice three isn't bad, it's just a lot less specialized... a decent compromise between the two if you can't decided, but i'd still go with 1 or 2 if it were up to me.
I used to be MRifles, MPistols, Carb 0440, MMarksman + force ranged speed
My accuracy and speed were through the roof. I dueled a MDef jedi in my guild, best I could do was get him down to about 1/4 force before he finally caught up with me.
Awesome offense but absolutely no healing and very little defense.
My new temp is MRifles, MCM, Carb 0430 + force ranged speed.
I was going to keep the pistols but the root in 0003 just didn't seem to be worth it, vs the KD since I already had the paralyze.
Plus with the carbs I also have a really good snare. I never use Battle armor, recon has better energy defense from what I have seen, plus it always seems to be cheaper than battle.
I really do miss the speed and accuracy from my first template but The heals, and dots are pretty nice.
