I like the health bleed seeing the majority of dot attacks also target health. I hunt with a pistoleer and a commando, so when we are attacking we all get a chance to lay down some sort of health dot attack whether it be fire or bleed on the same pool. This is more beneficial to me than dotting a different pool than my group.

At first I complained about the Health Bleed, but think about the Random Pool Specials.....they hit Health 50% of the time and Action only 33%.....and for the most part a Carbineer uses the Random Pool Specials.
So I wouldn't call it insanity

Firehawk, if you compare apples to apples let start at the beginning.
I have 5 +50/-0.5 tissues.
1) Make 1 Elite Carbine and hope for a 30% damage slice
2) Make 5 Enhanced E11s and hope for the 30% Slice.
You will most likely end up with a far better weapon (damage and speed) by using the E11 and sinking all your tissues into mutliple guns vice one tissue in one gun (elite).
I made 3 Enhanced E11s and got 2 +20% speed slices and one +30 Damage Slice.
Of note, I did buy one +12 experiment Elite Carbine (non Kryat) and with the very lucky 34% damage slice I have weapon that does 10 damage more than my Imperial retreat stock, Kryat Tissue (+65 damage, -5 speed) enhanced E11. The down side is that it is a 3.5 second speed weapon and being a Master Carbineer with +25 SEAs I need a 2.8 speed weapon to hit cap so it is pretty worthless to me.

True enough, it just seems bizarre to me that you'd put a Carbineer grade bleed on a weapon certed in Marksman, though. Just my $.02. I still swore by them beforeI went to Bounty Hunter Carbines IV.

silly but is it the fact that its called the elite when it clearly isnt - for a fraction of the price in resources and components i can get a e11 carb very close stats wiseto the elite carb but with the DOT
