Same speed, same min/max damage range, same everything... just change thetype from Energy (which we can get from the DH17s, E11s, or Laser Carbines) to Stun (which we currently don'tget from anyavailable carbines, but Riflemen and Pistoleers get from the Jawa Ion Rifle and Tangle Pistol).


What do you guys think? I think this would make me very happy in the pants.

I agree that there should be a carbine that does stun damage. I see no reason why Pistoleers and Riflemen should be able to do stun damage but not Carbineers.

Hey now. I'm not calling for a nerf, I just want the opportunity to level the playing field.

Would love it. Been bitching about it for along time. Dont count on it though. Carbineers or cabiniers have been getting the shaft since release. We have the least amount of defensive mods out of the 3 basic ranged classes. We need something to be able to hang with the others.

Yes I would like for some carbine to hit with stun damage. It's not unbalancing and it gives us another option for fighting.

Stun based would be nice, yes!!


hehe or even Blast based damage.... change the Elite carbine into a "BOOM!" gun.... but nahhhh, that would be asking for way too much the devs would never consider it

A carbine with stun damage would be great... but the elite carbine with stun damage? Our best PvP weapon having stun damage while pistoleers get the crappy tangle and riflemen get the crappy jawa.

Having our Elite be stun would be like making the T21 stun. That would overpower us, imo, and defeatthe purpose of making the playing field even.

well, i don't know what server you're on but weaponsmiths on lowca don't even make elites because they're so useless. most carbineers use lasers on our server and some of us are dh17 finatics. everyone tries the other guns on tuskens and whatnot but get disappointed.


and i don't know if you have other skill mods besides carbineer ones, but there is very little that could make us "overpowered" in pvp. if someone shoots at us, they hit us (unless they stink). as long as no one is attacking me in pvp, i can "pwn" however as soon as i get targetted, i go down in 3 shots max (unbuffed).


give us a bone. if we are going to be stuck with the ranged defense of a throw rug (that's nailed to the floor), at least our damage should be useful.


here here to making the elite worth a darn.

The Jawa Ion Rifle is really good. It even has AP1. It's damage is like 50-150 or so. I do agree, that the tangle sucks so bad though.

I would really like to see it be Cold damage...an elite carbine shouldn't just stun people


I also think Nym's Slug Thrower should throw slugs (solid bullets) meaning be kenetic damage!
