Thread: Fun profession mix

Yeah I have to agree with Firehawk, while CH is perhaps not the best profession out there, it's very fun and it appeals to many players because of that.
Keep in mind that CH used to be THE PvE profession before great armor and common buffs. Keeping a pet tank is extremely good if used well.. I mean a level 20-30 pet is enough to tank a rancor lair without a problem. Just blast away with FullAutoArea2/ActionShot2 or even CrippleShot and then harvest away for mucho credits if that's your thing.
Well great armor and buffs don't help a Carbineer that much.....at 0m range we are not much more effective than a Rifleman 
I have played a Carbineer/CH/Medic for nearly 9 months along with having a Defense Stacker Carbineer/Fencer/Pistoleer/Medic/Scout for 6 months. Now if you use Carbineer strictly for OFFENSE, which is what THIS Forum is all about, there is no contest, the Carbineer/CH is miles ahead. Although both need uber weapons and uber SEA's, but that is required for any non-BH Carbineer already. The only time solo PvE'ing with a Carbineer is effective without CH, is when switching to one of the Melee Profs in your template for OFFENSE.
BTW, CripplingShot with CH is not nearly as effective as FullAutoArea2 and BurstShot2 when hitting a group, but remember to send your pet on the lair or each creature before firing these
