My weekly non-constructive post:

Why do you love carbineer so much?

For me, its the non-FOTMness. I absolutly love winning in PvP using carbines. I love getting tells from FOTM rifleman #32423423 "Carbineers suxorz \/\/TF! Hacker!" I love the strategies and the techniques. The feeling would be comparable to taking a non-DOT pike and beating a Fencer/2hs/MasterBrawler.

for quite similar reasons:

not usable by roxx0r kids who want an "I win" button, and really kicks a$$es when used right.

I LOVE getting tells after the duel like "you damn cheater !" "u said u were carbineer, why you're using a disruptor rifle" (when they see they got pwnd, and see my master rifleman badge -dropped it- and think the dxr6 carbine is a dxr6b rifle)

I love to hang out in big cities, look at groups duelling here and there, and after a few minutes, ask the most FOTMer-like of the group for a duel... and win it ! LOL

I love when I'm in some solo group and we all talk about our templates, and I say "I'm using carbines" then some dude say "carbines suxx0r, I'm (insert FOTM) and I pwn !!!" then we duel and he bites the dust.

I love beign underestimated by arrogant kids, and then beat em eating their health pool

I love having a different template and using a different weapon as the usual VKs, Jawa Ion, or Stun baton thingies

seriously, carbineer is the funniest PvP prof in that game ! (k BH/Carbineer, but I'm quite sure a speed capped straight carbineer can do quite the same)

too bad carbineer requires either :

1) investment of a large amount of skillpoints

or

2) millions in skill tapes (and they won't even cap you with a 3.6 carbine)

to really achieve that feeling and appreciation for carbines.

And some carbineers do stand out in PvP... becuase they have the 250 mind fire/poison carbine? DoT shouldn'tmake a profession good...(Same goes for pikeman)

You are absolutely correct.....but what I love is that being a WELL PREPARED CARBINEER often can win a duel simply by using your mind.

It is also great to be different. Most people have heard how awful Carbineer is....and quite frankly it fits a fairly unique play style in the world of gaming....THINKING So there is great joy to be found is succeeding where many others have failed.

And as I near 3,000 posts in this Forum, I have browsed other forums and quite frankly enjoy the people here more than anywhere else.

I love being able to take out my target before they get into range of me. As well as 2 of his friends.
I also love that look in my opponent's eyes, as they lie limply on the ground, knowing they just got beat by someone with a "Master Carbineer" title.
