Carbineer Archive

DirthNader, glad to see that taking part of carbineer really helps out a master BH. I am also a master carbineer, BH carbine 3, novice medic. There's something I just can't figure out here. A lot of people on the BH forum complain that pistoleers and carbineers "dabbling" in BH just for the weapon skills "ruins" the whole BH profession for people that master it. I am not saying this is how you feel. A master BH taking three boxes in my mastered profession to get crippleshot doesn't ruin carbineer for me. Any insight on why some BHs feel this way about "dabbling?"

Thanks for that bit of insight about dabbling. I can certainly see the envy against pistoleer/tka/rogue template. This is the probably the only combat template I consistently lose to in one on one PvP. They have the best resists in the game against knockdown and dizziness so I can almost never get them on their backs. Combine this with one of the best specials in the game, Panic Shot, which is unresistable and you have a **edit** tough fight. That ten second combat delay is ten free shots and specials against you. Given how important the first shot is in PvP right now, landing a panic shot means your opponent probably wins without you hitting them unless you can get out of range for ten seconds. Has anyone noticed if damage mitigation helps draw out PvP enough that panic shot loses even some of its power?

eek.......... im not alone!!!!
