Thread: Master Rifleman or Master Carbineer?
Master Squad Leader/Master Carbineer/4004 Pistoleer
Offensive: Your DPS is going to be high, very good thing. Also, you will have cone roots, snares, and a single KD. Plus from pistoleer you will get fan shot and body shot, great damaging attacks with a 900 damage carbine. And with the Intimadator pistol having a high DPS as well but with kinetic damage, a very well rounded offense.
Defensive: Stack your defenses with a bio clothed shirt and bando with a full set of high sliced battle armor and your set when grouped.
Role: Raising the defenses and morale of your group and can affect an enemy group to a great extent. Not a one on one profession but carbines are powerful enough to be considered a threat, with it's cone attacks it's a dangerous proffession.
This is my opinion and my template. Built for PvP Support but don't know about high level npc hunting.
