Carbineer Archive

If no one else is going to do it i will have to call BS on this. There is no way to solo the dragons or the ATSTwith chargeshot as the KD doesnt work on the ATST most of the time and it still fires even when it does( it just woobles most of the time) and with the dragons in the 1 sec cap BTWN shots the dragon with cover the 64 m to you and then one hit and DB in the same stroke.

i dont think its the chargeshot that is the problem here.

most of you who posted replies are using chargeshot in conjunction with another classes skills/abilities.

i am nothing but a master carbineer and cant do what you guys are speaking of.

I am a true MBH, but our KDs are so terrible ( they were once the best in the game ) that I must use chargeshot to even have a chance of hitting a KD. The real problem is when a Carbineer goes 0400 BH... thats somthing to be scared of. MBH is the biggest skill point waste in teh game right now.

oops i meant high ham cost

sorry

i gave up carbineer, but before i did, i soloed krayts. Master CM + chargeshot + cdef carbine speed sliced/speed PU + buffs + food + spice + composite = if you have enough time, and dont miss the krayt 7 times in a row, it dies.

chargeshot works just fine for this as long as hte mob has a range penalty (krayts only melee so you spam it from 40 meters or so, nightsisters cant use the force past around 30m).

like it or not, it's overpowered. I know thats not a popular opinion because the rest of the profession is busted as hell, but its the stark reality.

The Devs said before release that people would find skill combo's they never even dreamed of that would blow away anything they had in mind. Calling for the nerf of the one item of the carbineer's repertoire that actually does someting is certainly not as bright as calling for the nerf of the Master Bounty Hunter's KD's, who have all those other wonderful shots you're saying are so nice. Perhaps we should simply make it less accessible... in the3rd teirbox? That would effectively put it beyond the reach of the BH dabblers.

wow BH's must need a good nerfing too if they can do 400,000 damage to a mob with heavy armor and insane resistances before their food buffs run out!

quite easy with ryshcate, breath of heaven, charge shot, spray shot, torsho shot, and sap shot, fyi

On a side note to the carbineer aspects of these posts,one of most entertaining forums is the BH forum. It is basically an incessant whine about how gimped BH is, and how unfair the Jedis -- or anyone that has ever killed a BH in PvP -- are.

I have no idea what your thoughts on the subject are Elvandar, and I'm not picking on you per se, but I wanted to point out that posts like your original, and the response above, are part of the reason that BH's get no love from the Devs or many of the players. Sure, there are a lot of classes that are powerful, but here you are nonchalantly expressing your "uberness", while on the BH forum-- not by you necessarily -- BH's whine like infants about how weak they are.

It's great you can solo everything, but if you are one of the players who thinks that BH's have been nerfed to pieces, maybe you should reconsider.

I've been a master Carbineer for months and months. Was a BH Carbine IV and carbineer 5 months ago. charged shot is not a true KD in PVE. It slows them down, fixing them in one spot for about 1 second. If you watch the Stand animation next to its health bar, as soon as you Charge shot, they stand right back up as if they never were down in the first place, then the animation takes over and thats is how they are fixed in the location, you do no special dmg, not like a real KD.

Trust me, Carbineer REALLY need charged shot to survive, No doubts about it, everyshot kills them, many times each shot costing them 130+ action ham. Cripplingself shot is the panultimate self suicide shot. Costing 230+ action ham to get it off. 230!!!! thats more dmg than your opponent can do.

Charged shot is powerful because you specifically pick professions that accentuate it, others like myself only have master carbineer and thats it.

IF you really want a Ueber killer profession try Combat medic. These guys can literally annihilate 10 guys at once without even breaking a sweat. Able to out range any weapon in the galaxy, has perfect accuracy, cost of using it is so low its laughable. Can cause permanent damage to your character due to disease, has no counter to it other than a doctor. No armour can stop it its effect. You have no protection to it due to its extremely rare poison resist loot. Wow, i can't help but think they are balanced.

Right now i despise CM and CM players who try to justify themselves. I love how they say, it takes time to fly around and gather resources.. Well Chefs take time ( i was a chef, carbineer) to get resources too, not any different, but i don't see myself wiping out armies by myself with my ueber chef food. I don't see Master Rifleman wiping out 10 guys in one area poison toss.

Think about it.
