Thread: Question for PvP Carbineers
ummm... the dizzy is on all FullAutos, and its broken.. doesn't stick.
as for the KD defense mods question, well i've noticed that vs. profs with lots of KD defense mods, the first ChargeShot never works, but all the ones after that follow the normal rule for spamming chargeshot, I.E. it works everytime, just for very short duration. Tested this on a BH with the trickshot line, a master pistoleer, and a near master pistoleer.
Chargeshot will work on a master fencer maybe 50% of the time - they have I believe +70 defense vs KD - I've tried it, either I missed or it didn't KD Him - out of the 8 times I did get a hit, he was KD'ed 3 or 4 times.
Yeah carbineers is supposed to have a dizzy shot - well not really, a chance to dizzy/stun/blind with fullautosingle2 - meaning 1 of these will hit, so not necessary you 'll get a dizzy but rather a stun or blind - it's odd, fullautoarea2 - I've actually had a dizzy come up it was very weird, it's mostly stun/blind but never dizzy.
And when there is a dizzy it stays maybe 5 secs tops - this is against mobs of course, on a PC usually you don't get a dizzy on a PC.
Chargeshot is a godsend just cause there's no 30 sec timer rule, but will all the adjusted mods of last patch - you will notice it won't actually KD them all the time - maybe a BH but not professions with mods against KD's. And don't go overboard - I just kepted KDing a Bounty hunter and he got 1 shot off and I got incapped - yeah HAM's no food/buffs so yeah.
Food is ur best friend- I would say for PvP against bounty hunters - a Fishak & Sunburn (or another fishak)for drink and omachek/and something that gives +str/+focus/+stamina (forget the name) is the best way to go. - Of course you can switch with Breath of Heaven - but Fishak gives you +500 Mind, most BH's going for eyeshot anyway - and the omachek gives +100 to to all Mind stats.
For everyone else - and combo is good just raise your STR/STA/Focus (or was it willpower) - just to lower your HAM costs. On a full stomach - 2 drinks/2 food - you will be using maybe at most 80 HAM's for a special with at stocked carbine (stocked cost more HAM's but has more dmg - costs usually 2x normal carbine HAMs)
Try this for charge shot 1 in PvP: speed-sliced DH17 short carbine with a 32% speed powerup. This takes mine to 1.2 speed. Spam charge shot at 1.2 speed and you win.
