chargeshot is not useless... it allows for kiting wihtout actually running around. when the mob starts to move toward you hit chargeshot, bam instant KD (not really a KD, jsut forcing them to go through the KD/stand up animation). I've kited a **edit**load of hard to kill things this way (best so far was a spiderclan webdancer, 95% energy resists lol)

Are you kidding? It stops an attacking mob in its tracks. I can keep up to 3 mobs at bay simultaneously by using "chargeshot, crippleshot" and then cycling to the next mob. Just keep running around in circles and they'll never touch you. With chargeshot you can kill pretty much anything in the game as long as it doesn't have a ranged attack.

Yes, a BH can own someone with a dizzy/knockdown combo similar to a TKA or Fencer.

Hell hath no wrath when you've seen a MBH with chargeshot and sprayshot.


Sprayshot has the power of cripple shot, and sticks blind, stun, dizzy in their strongest forms (lasts a few minutes easily). They only thing that can stop it, are the stand and shoot macros and very high ranged defense.

I concure with the previous poster, chargeshot combined with sparyshot is usefull, when it lands a dizzy.


However I am told by other BH, that cripplingshot has a higher damage modification then sprayshot, but the state effects are nice.

It took me awhile to find an effective way tto use chargeshot. I find it's best in 2 situations. I like to use it as part of a finishing combo going with chargeshot followed with cripplingshot to take advantage of the modfier on attacking a downed mob. I can get 3-4k damage with this combo pretty consistantly. Secondly I use it as a defensive shot whenever a mob has broken through my "perimiter", gets within 20m of me. Then I retreat to about 45m and continue the fight.

1) Charge shot does only KD for 1-2 seconds most of the time, but that is still extremely useful for kiting things (high level mobs, meleers in PvP). It lands very consistently due to that it can save your life when a strong melee mob/player is about to get you.


2) Charge shot can be used in combination with dizzy to provite a slightly different alternative to haveing same effect as fire KD. I wont say if thats better or worse like some people believe - both methods have their own strength and weaknesses.


Note: try not to use Charge Shot while standing still - hold run in any direction while firing it instead. Otherwise your character will run toward the enemy like a complete retard.

Yes the runnign towards your target isn't always a wise thing, but it is funny to watch the first few times.

Someone just said he can solo almost anything in the game with it.


But of course its not overpowered right?


Just a clue here guys.. this is why they added timers to KDs in the first place.

I mean no offence, but does Jybisu have nothing better to do then go into every singe thread on Carbineer forum and try and raise Nerfs and troll?


This post wasnt even about anything relevent to these things. The guy simply asked what was a point of the skill and for an advice on how to use it. I mean if you just HAVE TO whine and cry and beg for nerfs - do it on your owd **edit** forum. And if you have no courtesy to do so and you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO invade other people's forums for your trolling and complaints about how youdont like the fact other professions can stand up to you- at least state them in a separate thread for christ's sake. Learn some manners.


But here is a much better idea -go play the game.
