Carbineer Archive

ok....so what is it...

ive been wanting to do carbineer for a while and i like to pvp. Im also master doctor. Ive picked up carbineer twice and dropped it both times because of everything i hear and read on forums and in game. So...what is it...is carbineer good in pvp or is it crap?

Would a experienced master please answer this question for me?

and how much would it help me to be Master Doctor and master carbineer?

And is it true that since carbineer has no stun damage that any battle against a buffed/armoed person you will lose?

Just wandering because ive been wanting to do carbs for quite some time now. Any opinions or comments would be appreciated

I'd say at master you are about on average with most players.

I also have master CH to go along with my master carbineer and it helps me a bunch.

Mostly bepends on what you are up agenst.

I've taken 2 MBH's by my self but I've also been owned by a fincer/rifelmem.

Just depends on your style.

Hitting the speed cap (or close to it)is one of the biggest parts of being a succesfull pvper. With carabineer that is rather difficult. You can probably hit the cap with stardard weapons that get speed sliced and speed puped, but then this drastically take away from you damage. If you can find a fast carbine with good damage, that you can get a damage slice and min/max powerup, then your in business. Also good armor (w/ stun helm at least) is a must. With good armor and a fast, powerful carbine, you should be able to compete in pvp reasonable well. This doesnt garentee you a win every fight, but you should do well. Picking up almost any melee profession will give you an even bigger advanced W/ defenses, etc, but even without them you should still do well.

O yeah...and dont try and do anything without doc buffs (shouldnt be hard for you to find them:smileyhappy. In a full suit of light composite I will usually kill myself in 2-3 specials unbuffed. Food and spice can help with this, but doc buffs are the best.

wanna come duel me? i betcha i'll get you.

there are issues with carbineers. mainly speed. if we're firing automatic guns we should be hella fast but not too accurate...you gotta look that the profs kinda how they are in real life:

pistoleer = pistol

carbineer = machine gun

rifleman = big slow rifle

if they would let us fire faster everything would be all good....we shouldn't have good aiming but we should be the fastest proffesion and be able to mow down groups.

i learn more stuff about carbineer daily. i had my first pvp death in 2 weeks today when i got swarmed by 3 rifleman. there's not much i can do when i got 3 people spamming headshot3 at me faster than i can use wildshot2+fullautoarea+actionshot2. granted i have equipment that is quite above par. and i've learned alot from other carbineers on these forums. today i was having a terribly hard time hitting this fencer decked out in armor w/uber attachments on it. fortunately he was a nice guy and even though we were both overt he never db'd. even though he could have and bragged how he pwned me. instead he was kind enough to let me practice combo's on him till i found out how to beat him.

carbineer does have issues in pvp. mainly spd. a stun weapon would be nice, but not needed. or if they'd increase the chances of landing a blind/dizzy/stun in one shot that'd also be extremely helpful to land all 3 in one shot on the first shot or two. you really do need an above par carbine to be effective. and unfortunatly they're a bit harder to get. where as a rifleman can get a decent t-21 or jawa ion from his local weaponsmith. where as i have to go to the finest weaponsmith on our server who has old resources, has maxed all the bonuses he can get with skill tapes, and has good krayt tissues.

to say that carbineer doesn't have issues is really a bunch of bull. yes i'm good at pvp. but really when it comes down to it, it's just my experience and my equipment. i use everysingle move i have pretty much (except legshot, i don't see the use in it for pvp) i have 5 stinking awesome carbines. but not every carbineer has this or will ever reach it. instead they decide "hey i'll go buy a jawa ion and spam headshot3." no thinking, no troubles, easy pwning.

i'm sorry if it seems like i'm singling rifleman out. it's not just rifleman, you can do it with Pistoleer, TKM, Fencer, Commando and CM.

ohh dude, a carbineer can't be effective without some kind of above par weapon. you're right ppl will regen faster than you can kill them. i had an Investigator/Master Carbineer practicing on me last night, i let him stick a dizzy/kd and he held me down for a while but it wasn't making much of a dent..when i finally stood up i healed my damage dizzy/kd'd him right back and spamming scattershot2 til his mind was gone
