Carbineer Archive

I have the opportunity to make a Krayt + Form-Fitted carbine of my choice. Do I go with Elite, DXR6, Laser, E11, orEE3? (Basic krayt tissues btw)

Do you have any Carbine Speed SEAs? And do you PvP often? Or spend timePvEing?

Generally, if you spend atleast half your time PvEing, Id stick with a Laser Carbine. Unless you plan on using this Carbine strictly for PvP, the Laser is your better choice.

I'm going total PvP... I'm doing Master Fencer also so if I do PvE, it'll be in a group and I'll be tanking. I do not have any SEA's (I may try to get some in the future, but not a priority atm). With the krayt tissues and the form-fitted stock I'm looking at about -1.1 speed and +35 max dmg on whatever carbine I put it on.

I would take the DXR6, the acid damage punches through PSGs without stopping. It also has a pretty low damage range, making it harder to mitigate.

My current DXR6 is 3.4 164-245 +50 @ 22m. I only have one stock left and one set of tissues. Should I make ANOTHER DXR6 even with the one I have now?

Personally i would go with the DXR-6 since like has been mentioned several times here, Acid damage is less resisted then Energy, the only problem is that you are gonna have your hands full getting that gun down to a manageble speed. +25 in SEA's is almost required for PvP with carbines. One thing to keep in mind is the E-11 has light AP same as the DXR-6 and energy damage as opposed to Acid and a damage spread much better than your average laser, and here is the moral of this story ... only 1 power handler (ie Kryayt Tissue) each. So you can make multiple E-11's and hope for a good slice, plus the speed is much lower, with -1.1 you should be able to get it around 2.0, then with a good speed slice and PUdrop it to around 1.0

One more fun fact, Wookie Armour is vunerable to Acid, so your DXR-6 will make short work of them ... poor wookies, in no other game would a wookie be considered the worst combat race

I agree with Dxr6, mine is damage sliced and has a 33%speed/16%min dam on it all the time and stats are 2.8 233-285 ithout krayt or stock or anything, Dxr6's have I'm pretty sure the highest min damage but are the slowest. Elite's are almost up to par with Dxr'sbecause of their faster and about same damage but like they said about energyvs acid damage.

Acid is our only way of doing damage against a properly equipped PvP player, so definitely DXR6.

Exactly what the posters above said, Drx6 is the best pvp Carbine. Almost everyone who pvp fulltime uses PSG's now because Fencers and Rifleman are quite popular 'FOTM' and PSG's protect against bother rather well.

I'm working on getting my guild's weaponsmith to try and work out a sub 2.0 speed DXR6 carbine. I had my 2.0 speed Elite out last night and it still rocks.

Using -.3 tissues with and imp stock and 34% speed slice you should hit 2.0 right on the dot. The problem with DXR6es is that they take 6 tissues, so getting a good slice can be tough.
