Which is a better tree for someone with dual blasters?

I'm thinking of using Carth Onassi as my ranged blaster. As a Soldier, he gets tons of feats, and I'm not sure which is a better tree to pursue.

TIA

Oh, squiggly line in my eye fluid. I see you lurking there on the periphery of my vision. But when I try to look at you, you scurry away. Are you shy, squiggly line? Why only when I ignore you, do you return to the center of my eye? Oh, squiggly line, it's alright, you are forgiven.

rapid shot! the first game, having no precise shot feats (or none that i remember) most enemy lightsaber wielding baddies will try and deflect your laser shots, so your best bet is too shoot lots, so more have a chance of getting through the deflection. This is also why dual wielding pistols is good for the first game, again, more attacks.
My! What an interesting turn of phrase.

Cool, that's what I was thinking as well. I've been using Carth's Power Blast early on, but I'm currently on Dantooine, and I now have Master Rapid Shot. I've been alternating between the two.

Sometimes, it's actually helped to start with Power Blast (and I think I'll improve it next), and when the enemy is down to about 1/3 VP, switch to Rapid Shot to get those hits over with.

After that, I guess I'll bump up the Conditioning feat chain with Carth. And Implants should help too.
