Alright mate, but im not crying I take you noobs with a grain of sault, LOL. I have to ask why do you guys question me being a master carbineer when you all back up a holo grinder. Cheer up though its just a forum , jolly good show mate.

I don't see anything wrong with 'grinding' if that's how you choose to play the game. Why is that even considered an insult?

I learned more about hte way the combat system works as a weaponsmith than as any combat class.


Atm, yes, carbineers are gimped a bit in pvp, mostly due to broken/useless specials, but in large group fights we can sneak in a few kills. After publish 7, though, you may want to keep an eye on us

carb isnt that bad for pvp but basically if u get hit by stun or mind poisons u could be a carbineer or a goat herder, youll take dmg faster.

carb seems to be more of an assist profession to me, stunning and blinding groups, KD's and bleeds. If you run out of effects u could throw in a couple of cripplings i guess.

What carb desperately needs is a good player made weapon with stun dmg to bring it into balance with pistols and rifles



OH YEAH

carbiner isnt weak, you just have to use the right attacks plus the professions on galaxies is cocked they have only repaired a few (thank god you aint a pikemen) but the more updates the more the game gets repaired so its just a matter of time until carbiner gets uber


but i am near master carbiner and the only fault which i have seen is the ham bars go down quickly wen using your top attacks, i attack the action pool with legshot3 then 1 then 3 then 1 etc and just sit back and watch them bleed away there actions if you keep attacking there action they cant do much,


as for pvp its a little tricky with carbiner so the best bet is if you can get a few shots on there action pool b4 they get shots on you............... use tumble straight away whilst pullin a few shots on there action


and if you wear armour then try to use low ecum

Well perhaps its my server, my gun, but i cannot believe u can even say u 'win' in PvP,.. u cant against decent opposition, that is a proven fact and u know it.


Only a handful of specials work, and our great special, the glorious crippleshot, it the only one that does any real damage, if it hits. You cant even compare carbineer to any other prof,and no, u cant win using 'skill', cos there isnt alot more skill involved by u pressin Function keys 1-12 in a different order to someone else, if the specials dont work,they dont work,and it annoys me when people claim they do, what they hope to achieve by this i dont know.


I have nothing to gain by saying carbineer sucks, cos i am merely flaming myself, as i am master. But in publish 7, things will change if it goes according to plan, and carbineers will own,.. ive already seen more carbineer apprentices and novices than i can count appearing all of a sudden due to patch announcement.


But do not say its a good combat prof atm when its not please, it looks cool, it should work cool, but it dont, end of story.

wow i hope they fix this proffs soon, this was one of the ones i wanted to try but never did cause i herd it was broken. Bummer, With the DESCRIPTION and ideals of carbineer i think it should be bad a$$ in pvp, and more of the crowd control gun maybe? I dunno just throwning in my 2 cents, even though its not worth to muchcause ive always liked this proff but just never went through it, so i basically dont know smack.


Mack man chill out bro, no need to takeVIDEO GAME so seriously, im sure he wasnt dumping on your proff, was just wanting it to work like it should, and like everything else that deosnt work in this game held togethter by ducktape.



90% of the people that play this game are complete asses when they play cause they know if they acted the same way in RL they would be promptly beaten up and have their shoes stolen.

just being curious but what gun are u using ???????? you got to be doing something wrong, you do u use spice dont you when pvp .........................my weapon i am using at the mo does min 60 and max 432 so what in the blue hell are you doin wrong as for the people who i've pvp are normally equal or greater skill than me in there professions its all in tactics not just pressing random buttons eg 1-12 if u use legshot1 which cause bleedin then legshot 3 it will do more damage because of the bleed, the only prob if surviving eg using stim D or spiced to the eye balls, i hope you eventually change your mind on my beloved skill cos it really aint that bad and if you are in a pack hunting well ............................you will shine like a bright star well you will be stunning lol

Right now i just made a guy for gathering loot, until the next publishs comes out, so im purley pve for the next month. When i do go back to pvp, im chaning back to a master swordsman, master pistoleer, and dirtyfighting 3 on smuggler, with the meditation tree in tka. This isnt to say i wont try carbineer, prolly the next one i try. Not holo grinding, just tryin diffrent stuff out, so i like to try and keep up on all the proff.


Any advice youd like to give me would be appreciated.

Erm, ..
Duh!

You are typing like this on purpose, and typing garbage on purpose, to tease the people in this forum and thread,
or to entertain us, no?


1) Read the sticky about mitigation, please.
Why are you using a laser carbine in pvp?

2) Since when do leg shots bleed?

Hint: try an enhanced e11, or elite carbine.

3) Why you using spice in pvp?

Hint: doctor buff, food for mitigation, drink for extra mind, dancers, and musicians.

4) Since when is stim-d the standard equipment for carbineers?



That does not mean that I would agree or disagree with the initial poster.

I do like using my carbine(s): DH17, E11, eE11, Elite, DXR6, EE3. Some for speed, some for damage, Elite for +102 accuracy.

Granted, if you see a rifleman do the flushing2 spam, that /is/ impressive.

But when on doc buffs with the carbineer cone attacks I sure do have my fun.

Evy.

I'm a grinder but I'm not an idiot. In recent days I have fought the same enmies with TKA, Pikeman, Fencer, Rifleman and carbineer. No matter what skill I use in carbineer it's as if the enemies HAM bar never moves. I have been fighting geonosians and rancors primarily. With any other profession I can tear things up at master. The only time I deal out decent damage with carbineer is if I catch an AOE bug, but this isn't supposed to be how we fight. For some reason mack feels that I hate carbineer or that I am pissed because I am grinding. This is not the case. Since about profession 20 I have planned that I might have to master every prof to unlock. So while I am disappointed I don't have it right this second it's not as if I am destroyed because of it. I'm glad some others have caught macks logical fallacy of a personal attack against the arguer.
