Questions about a carbineerFollow

Hi i,ve been reading about carbineer and almost everyone says it sux. What are the advantages of the carbine vs pistols or rifles? Is the carbineer almost useless in pvp? i need a few advices :). I am going for a Carbineer/CH.

I respected to Master Carbineer and wish I had chosen something else now. I was a Master Swordsman and my CL was a 56. After I respected, my CL was in the 40's. My thought was that I would prefer to pick off enemies from a distance, but they come to you anyway. I plan on giving this profession a little more time, but will probably start training in another elite profession soon. I wish I had read these forums a little closer before I used my respec token. Darn it all!!!!

Yes but pistols are faster so it balances out dps wise (I think).

master carbineer here just sayin that although there r better professions, carbines are still v ery useful. snare and KD are awesome and with getting pistols xxx3 you get the stopping shot. but for the role set forth by the devs as being crowd control this is a very useful class in a group.
