• State, states, and more states.


• Decent damage.


• Carbines work very well against most NPCs.


• Great looks to the weapons

• HAM cost is an issue without buffs.


• Limited damage types.

• Forget hunting the big stuff.With only energy and acid damage (i don't count the ee3 as I can't find a decent one for anything and it's half broken) and our low speed (I don't count stacking BH as being a Carbineer) we are at a serious disadvantage in high level situations (Corvette, GDKs, Krayts... DWB(?))

• The StarWarsieness (is that a word?). It is the signature weapon of the Imperial Stormtroopers.


• It is the best combat support profession.

Picked up Carbines way back when I was a BH and fell in love with them.

The Good:

• State, states, and more states.
• Decent damage.
• Carbines work very well against most NPCs.
• Great looks to the weapons

The Bad:

• HAM cost is an issue without buffs.
• Limited damage types.
• RARE!!!

The Ugly:

• Forget hunting the big stuff. With only energy and acid damage (i don't count the ee3 as I can't find a decent one for anything and it's half broken) and our low speed (I don't count stacking BH as being a Carbineer) we are at a serious disadvantage in high level situations (Corvette, GDKs, Krayts...

What makes me keep Carbines?

Just a couple of questions:

Why did you choose carbineer?

Enoorea is a carbineer because I made Mecinia a pistoleer at first. I wanted to try out a different combat style. At first Enoorea was mostly entertainer, but over time I've given up all my entertainer. Still a master carbineer .

What is good about carbineer?

Carbineer is very solid against low to mid level PVE. It is not very good against high level PVE. Carbineer is a great support character thought its inability to damage high level mods and its inability to add states to them makes it a bad choice for high level PVE

In PVP it can be a good choice. As I learned my profession more though, and starting using my specials more properly I have found that I'm usually in the top running of targets, usually after the combat medics, mostly cause I'll stand at a distance and use kd and states on you allowing the others to pound on ya.

and

What makes you want to keep carbineer?

I keep hoping that we will be improved in the CURB. Seems anytime I say something in guildchat about not being able to attack a certain mob in the game my guildmates say...well you need to be a TKM or a Swordsman....I told them if I wanted a swordsman I'd play DnD. I think the only reason we got swordsman, fencer, pikemen, TKA ( which you should have to be Force Sensitive for before you could even start in it ...to be true to that order ) was because they wanted to appeal more to the masses and attract those that might have played EQ ( I think the same is true of Creature Handler to a large extent....and I do have a CH toon....Mecinea ) even though it made the game less star warsy. I'm hoping the CURB will bring greater balance to the combat professions. Ever combat profession should have the same chance of defeating a mob, each should be able to contribute meaningful effort to defeating high level mobs. Such content shouldn't be limited to just a few professions that weren't even shown in the movies .

Ok so i lied 3 questions

Actually I picked up the profession because I sawUncrow, who is the eldest Carbineer onour server (MBH/MC), take down a few traditonial CMs/Melee-stackers by himself back in the day. I was woe'd and convinced that that was a good choice, but it was until the "Holoprofession guesser" calculators spit out Carbineer as my silent profession that I honestly droppedMBH/Pistoleer (as BH wasmy last holo prof.)and sought to enhance my Carbineer skills.

Idropped everythingin BH except the Carbine line, which was well complemented by Master Carbineer. After about 3-4 weeks of trying out solo PvP, I realized that I lacked in the ways of defense so I picked up Carbineer-stacking (at first to max out ranged/melee defense with TK, and then later to maximize state defenses with Pistoleer) and I haven't looked back since.

But yeah.. Uncrow as my "role model" of a guy who simply kicked major butt with a seemingly underdog template that was MBH/MC.
