If it is anything like the Swordsman grind, i think it would easier with pikes, you get spinattack1 as a brawler, just use that on the lair and they all flock towards into the proverbial blender.
But to the point, grinding carbineer effectively requires the correctequipment.Basically you have3 crucial items.Firstly you need good buffs, get some decent BE Brandy, and full set of doc buffs. Secondlyhigh kinectic resist armour. Mostsmiths make ubese at about 70% as was mentionedearlier in this thread. Thirdly is your carbine.What i suggest is picking up afew E11's getting them all sliced and hope you end up with a decent 30% speed slice. Drop a min damage and speed powerup on it and go /fullautosingle2 those plated rats to death. Once you start to get some more speed (by the time you are 4000) try picking up a laser and getting that speed slice.
/fullautosingle2 is the best betthe entire way since it is our highestDPS specialbefore the speed cap (which you will likely not hit at master without a lot of tapes)

Amen, pass the wine....
ignore suva, carbine is a waste. Its not just my opinion, just look around the forums and talk to those who have played the game.The sad fact is that If you must be buffed to survive your own HAM costs, there is a problem. The devs have made it clear they will not address the issue.
There has always been a problem with the combat system in SWG. There will always BE a problem with the system. For the past 9 months the devs have "tweaked" the game, only to cause more problems, bugs, or imbalances. If combat is important to you, pick something like TK or Rifle. They arefar more rewarding.
I have been a carbineer since about day 5 of the game. I love the concept. I love the variety of weapons. But i am tired of kllling myself with special shots. Tired of watching TKs and riflemen take wade through high level beasties like butter while i struggle to survive.
I switched to TK last night, and boy let me tell ya I have NEVEr had so much fun in combat. I can spam special shots with little or no cost, stand toe to toe unbuffed with beasties that I had be buffed as a carbineer to face. Hell, i am not even a novice TK yet. Switch from carbiner, I promise you wont regret it! I am sorry i did not switch 8 months ago!
