Hi i just wanted to ask why Nova says to hang onto the tapes until the revamp? I recently mastered carbineer and currently have +25 accuracy while moving and about +8 speed and ive already put them on pieces of armour/clothing!


Is this bad? should i have waited?


Thx







The thought here is to wait to get weapons and armor done because of the Combat Balance. The Devs will be changing all items so there is no pre-nerf stuff out there and this process may affect SEA's and/or crafters may start making better weapons and armor than the nerfed stuff.


Personally I didn't wait to get myself to +85 Carbine Speed in my third Comp Suit......but I also have a set of spare AA's to get me to +85 in a new suit

Yes...no...maybe... It depends if you are live for today person or conservative.


Armor and the speed forumla will be changing in the revamp and right now we no information as to how they will change. That armor you have might become something you do not want to wear. Everything is a big giant unknown at this point.

what about TKM with feign death and carbineer how would that compair to BH/carbines cause right now i cant' deside which i want to do





Just a FYI...I won't go into specifics because IMO doing this is so lame I think people doing it havesocial problems in their real life such they need to act like a child in a game so I wont even speak about it...


But using feigh death in PvP is just asking to be griefed. Send me a PM if you need me to explain why.

FYI, there is 1 way to get someone out of FD. PostureChange UP! Rifleman, as far as i know, is the only profession to have this.

Personally I do just fine with Novice Medic.


A 3.7 speed weapon with +85 Carbine Speed will fire at 1.39 seconds for our slowest specials and be capped for FAS2. Which isn't bad by any means, but over the course of 10 seconds I will have fired 10 times and you only 7....so it adds up pretty quick.


Of course the exact weapon stats are required to know if those 7 shots will equal the same damage as my 10

That was not the griefing tactic I was refering to.

ok i have desided to not go BH/carbines cause i like defences and defences=being alive.

now im planing on going carbineer TK4004 and feign death with 4440 medic but i need a 2.7 speed weapon to cap if i had +25 skill tapes but if i got master marks and droped my medic down to 0240 or 0330 and was able to cap a 4 speed weapon woudl that be worth it to drop all that medic

and is it really that bad using a 3.7ish speed weapon with only 85 skill speed
