Does accuracy increase your damage capability? That's what I'm thinking, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Well most of you folks know how much I love CH with Carbineer.....well the CU has made me drop CH entirely.....it nerfed my pets and the Hate System just doesn't work with CH anymore IMO. Try it out, but CH is a dead prof to me

It's a shame you think that because I'm having a LOT of fun with MCH+Carbineer (in fact I respecced Master Carbines into MCH and am relevelling Carbiners (up to 4410). Whilst there are issues, generation of hate being number 1, IMO they work very well although some pet's do seem a little weaker than they maybe should be others work very very well. I run with a right mixed bag of pets and with care can work well. I use a pack, currently usually of 2 pets, a CL18 BE Currcat and a CL39 Cat ( which got relevelled from CL24 and pre CU wasn't a very good cat, it's now much better ), and can happily kill CL67's ( I'm CL65 I think ) with them. I just let the pet's take a good chunk, once one pet is down to 50% health I open up with the snare and then autofire with our best attack, by the time the mob peels off the pet's it's low enough in health (plus snared) to take minimal damage. Plus of course the cat's rejen their health quite quickly. That said the Hate generation DOES need a buff on pet's and for that matter Player Tanks.

I don't disregard you having fun with CH.....hell I had tons of fun with CH pre-CU and everybody said I was crazy then too. CH used to mean aggro a whole lair of 4-8 critters and Full Auto Area them all at once, hence myOPINIONS (as I clearly called them above)that CH is screwed in this regard now and I dropped the whole thing.

CH doesn't play the same right now and I am trying out some other builds while the respec goes on.....but my comments have nothing to do with the fun aspect, but the utility and usefullness aspect of what MCH meaned to me and many others. Everybody has different fun in this game, so don't take this so personal.

Fair enough, having said that unless I'm doing something wrong post CU, especially solo, it's hard to take on more than a single mob at a time. I'm actually 'scared' to use an AOE or fan attack on XP giving mobs (I'm now 4404) and just use single target attacks or I feel I'm going to get overwelmed pets or no pets (in fact pets I find help when I do get a bit swamped because I can choose a target, snare and kite it whilst sending my pet's against the other mobs. Because I'm not shooting the other mobs they will switch aggro to the pets).

If you got the SP its nice, and usually you do, but my current template MCarbineer/Mrifle/BH 4004 does not and I'm handling it fine.
