Thread: Carbineer / Rifle?
Master Rifleman / Master Carbineer (for the battle armor originally) / Master Marksman / BH 0/3/0/0. With this build I have access to 2 working area attacks (spray and full auto) to which with a low action cost rifle I can effectively control a crowd of agros. Other attacks such as charging shot (and it's goofy animation) are great for ranged KD along with the advanced crippling shots for slowing down rushers. Also, having the ability to use high damage carbines is nice as there are several E11 Mk2's out there which out damage many rifles (sliced one to bump up it's modified damage to 553 pre-pup).
If you're looking for pistoleer go with the stopping shot (hopefully this gets fixed and only pistols can perform stopping shot) and possibly the intimidate line (techniques).

My current template is MBounty Hunter/MCarbineer/Rifle 4xx4/Scout 4x11. Im more effective with this template than I was with MBounty Hunter/MRifleman/MMarksman. Legshot is equal to Headshot, you gain a Snare that actually works, area attacks and(when it's fixed) an area Snare, as well as the most effective ranged KD in the game. If you really want to do some nuking then you have Improved Sniper Shot.
Imps for the win

You get full mitigation bonus from battle armor and recon armor, you can heal/rez, and your always wanted in a group for pve and pvp. Im not going to sit here and say its the ultimate template because its not, its a support template and one that suits me perfectly, ive got a nasty rifle, I can KD people, and i can stay alive usually enough times to rez people that get DBd in pvp. Of course I know people are going to say go cm over doc but think about it, can a cm match a doc heal for heal and heal over time? Try stacking a jedis infusion with a doc bacta infusion and essentially your canceling out alot of attacks from pve and some in pvp for heal over time effectiveness. I know for a fact i get more kills in than deaths and im good at tanking krayts after ive buffed/fooded up some and have some nukers with me seeing ill spend half the time healing myself. But i stand by the rifleman/doc/0040 carbine setup because it works for me and I like wearing ris armor.
Yes, this sounds like a perfect support template. Being as we are almost forced to group, this allows for major flexability within a group.
Master Rifle
Master Bounty Hunter
Carbines 4400
You get the 2 most powerful non-windup single target attacks and you get the 2 most powerful area effect shots. All of which can be shot back and forth with your default delay.
Plus you are fully mitigated for assault or recon armor .. so whatever the situation calls for (kinetic or energy)
Mrifle Mcarbs 0404 pistols.
High damage rifleman attacks,support and are attacks from carbs, roots and stallers from pistols. Great IMO. I'm still deciding if I should get another pistols branch or M MArksman for lethal shot.
