I don't care how good it is. I just wanna have fun. And carbineer is a hell of a lot of fun.

your really need to master your class before you can compare it to another. ive never had a problem fighting TKM in PvP. i have BH along with my carbinier skills so i can KD+dizzy from a distance. on many occasions i have just run circles around a group of melee types, kd-ing and dizzying them 1 by 1 untill they all fall down. now comes the fun part. I go back to the first one i KDed and take my time shooting him (no specials needed) while his buddy watches(flat on his back as well). then (depending on my mood) i might kill the other or just dizzy him again and talk trash.

I have to agree with him. But I have had alot of fun with a profession that most wouldn't wish upon their worst enemy.


I just think of it as having a head start. Didn't you hear? In the next patch they are going to upgrade everyone to carbineer standards. LOL


It is a fun profession though.

Well, lol, i can honestly tell you that the guy who posted this thread really has no clue.

I am a Teras Kasi Master. It's great fun. I can solo anything i wish pretty much. (pre patch, post patch it's a new challenge and i'm enjoying learning how to solo krayts again).
Disease and Poison are not issues. TKA can cure bleed/poison/disease and wounds with meditation.

However, that being said, Carbineer is pretty god damned nice too.
I'm thinking of becoming Carbineer/TKM/Master Smuggler once i finish my holocrons off.
I'm currently doing Carbineer for my holo, but i'm enoying every second of it.
The speed of the kills that carbines get is real nice. The chargingshot is just totally fun to watch. I love the animation. It's all good.

So to those who say: Carbineer is crap/not worth it/rubbish/can't do anything.
I say: You fall into one of the categories below...

a) a newb who is jumping on the bandwagon without even trying the profession
or
b) has tried it, had a bad set up of stats, etc, got messed up too often and didn't work out any sort of tactics to fight with.

Carbineer is extremely powerful. Coupled with TKM it's deadly.

all the elite classes are fairly nice, its just people base their judgement off their marksman/brawler tree equivilants, which blow hard.

So all the SWG players are goin to TKM and **edit** Master?


The diversity o proffesions are one of the best thing in this game and ppl who make this type of thing telling ppl that carbineer suck and such can go to hell.


Of course TKM is so kool but i will like to see more carbiner, rifleman, pikeman, MBH and not only doublers and TKM.


A little note, when i was novice carbiner master medic, i was able to take down 2 TKM. The key is the range.

ive soloed krayts pre-patch without pets. i can still take them down with one doc/medic and 1 commando to support me. so i dont buy into the argument that carbine sux for PvE.

Any MCH with a master combat prof (cept a pikeman) can solo Ft Tusken or possibly a krayt.

I soloed a Spiderclan Webdancer the other day (100% kinetic 95% energy) without pets. can a TKM do that? no. heheheheh

Carbineer is good and bad once they fix the ham cost and other issues such as speed, it will be good. I got carbineer from my holo and don't plan on doing it till I get bored with pvp.

personally i think master carbineers have a lack of speed, i took the BH tree with it for FK confusionshot and the speed


i shoot crippleshot at speed cap with a 4.0 speed slug carbine, someone with just master carbineer wouldnt be able to do it


i think carbineer isnt that attractive to me if it wasnt for the BH mods
