Ok so I hear this rumor that rifleman are getting a blast rifle?
what in the world is wrong with this game lol. Carbineer have the worst weapons. I hear pistoleers will have two pistol equiped too in the furture? I say where is our stun and blast carbines? If all this happens with rifle and pistoleer, I same the devs give up a restraint carbine to revamp and balance professions b/c this riflemen get everything they want is gay - EpiC-

the berserker is going to be heat (or so the commando corr was told) and they figure ap1 or ap0...tho it is their 6th damage type which includes the only ap1 stun weapon and the only cold weapon.
carb should NEVER get blast...that'd be stepping on the toes of what commandos should have for themselves. rifle didn't deserve a blast rifle, neither do we deserve a blast carb.
dual-wield will be going in for pistols & fencers i think...probably jedi as well w/ the jedi revamp.
i've always felt giving everyone a stun weapon was a horrible idea for combat balance...but w/ the revamp being pushed so far off, now i'm not so against the idea to just get some semblence of worth in PVP...
short of a revamp on armor and weapon speeds...i don't see any solution as working well for carbines AND overall combat balance/dynamics as a whole...but devs seem to be dragging their feet on anything of that nature...who knows what's coming anymore...

giving everyone a stun weapon isnt necessarily a good idea, but giving what seems like everyone a stun weapon except carbine isnt a good idea either. right now all professions have either a stun weapon or a mind attack except carbineer and pikeman. that puts us and pikemen at a massive disadvantage since those 2 things are basicly the "i wins" of pvp right now. dizzy/kd/posture down certainly arent "i wins" they help, but armor and regenjust almost completely negates dmg types we do to 3000+ health and action pools.
and the berserker rifle is heat according to people in the rifle forum.

The thing is, is that the only worthwhile pistoleer stunweapon is very difficult to get, and ist nearly as good as a jawa(AP1). If we do get a stun carb it will not be very common and will probably cost millions to buy. The jawa on the otherhand is standard craftable, and can be bought for less than 20k.

well...i am a master pikeman and master carbineer on lowca..... i am pretty good at pvp b/c of my leet pikes. However i feel a attachment to carbineer. I just think that for a gun that is widely used in the movies, itsure sucks in the game. Riflemen for some reason have crazy accuacy while moving or running and i think it is rediculous. I mean carbine is an assault weapon, made for moving while attacking. Not only do i miss alot, but the damage sucks, the guns suck and the states suck. The only thing that was remotely cool was the knockdown spam that didnt even work, but at least you saw your opponent graphicly get knockdown over and over even though he would still gain ground, but you felt as a carbineer that finally something actually works.
I dont know, i rather have a restraint weapon than a stun. you find some armor with low restraint and i think that would be cool. just something different. Well i am keeping pike and carbine b/c i am not a front runner and i feel that there needs to be a balance in the game. I think carbineer should get a sniper shot as weill that db's people from far. thank for the responses - EpiC

Maybe the problem doesnt lay within the weapon but more so the armor. Maybe if say Bone Armor was great for kenetic dmg and yet composite was horrible for kenetic yet great for energy and acid etc as well as ubese great for stun and so on. This would bring amore variety and judgement to the game. Instead of always looking at balancing weapons etc....

Yeah, riflemen get the DXR6b which is one of the better rifles they got and they still complain about it, and now they got 2 new weapons and even more compalaints. I mean we got the slughthrower and the enhanced E11 which both are pretty bad compared to other carbines but I have yet to see such complaints about them. Guess it must be all those FOTM riflemen that will never be happy.

Slug thrower is only good for close range, but I prefer never to get so close.
