Thread: Carbineer is it pants?
Even now, as an ultra gimped carbineer (pikeman is WAY worse off than we will EVER be) i kick ass. It's fun, and one of the best PvP professions out there (heheh, even master pistoleers/master fencers tremble at my chargeshot!)
I've been telling all the guys in my PA that when the damage patch comes through, we Carbineers will once again be Gods among men or maybe small children ...
Once you have worked out which specials work and which don't and which are pointless you have about 3 attacks to use: Scattershot2, Burstshot1 &Crippleshot. Chargeshot1 is kind of cool if it actually works.
I duelled an almost MasterPistoleer and took him down just. All Ican say is thank the lord I'm 3 3 2 1 Doc with a healthy drug habit and a budding drink problem.
I do enjoy Carbineer - I have to actually think about what I'm doing or I'm eating dirt. Yet you really need a medic profession with it! Mastered Combat Medic but majority of advanced resources haven't spawned, so I couldn't make decent poisons - all a waste of time. Yet doc is working well with the few CM skills I still have.
Wait for the combat fix Carbineers and then we'll see how we do!
i am one of thos guys who get bord real fast so after i master some thing about 3 -5 days after i get realy bord so i drop it and move on
but im realy realy loveing carb i think the nym slug(best looking gun and best sounding gun in game ) and charg shot(becous of the animation is so funy tho i wish you could turn of the run part some times ) are the resons why tho but its ben realy fun lvling in carb
tho i do think they need some changes you know ham cost and speed
I too am a holo carbineer, or as I like to say, crapineer. Since I was a master commado prior to crapineer, I got spoiled by my trusty old FT. Wasn't until 4-0-4-4 that I really started to enjoy crapineer. Since I have a master doc 2nd acct that follows me around, staying buffed isn't a big deal, and I have found that 2 Rhyscates and a BoH boost my focus so high that mind drain (as I fight in full comp) is not an issue either.
Perhaps it's just me, but chargeShot seems to fail and awful lot.....I get a success maybe 1 out of tries. So far, I like fullautoSingle2 the best.
I use a Laser Carb with a 33% min dam/15% Speed pup, a DXR6, Elite and EE3, all with the same pup. Unless the critter I am shooting has an energy resist over 60% and AR1, I dont bother with anything other than the Laser.
Even as much as I enjoy crapineer now, I wont come back to it after the holo grind. The only thing that might sway me would be the addition of an AR2, kinetic carb, but I dont see that happening anytime soon.
