Triple Blast layers or something like that should bring it up to 72% baseish with Chilastra resources.







Not with 37% Stun


And yes my suit was made with 70% BEFORE slicing.....took a lot of pieces to get every single one above 85% base.....

This is great and all, but the real question can carbines ever hold thier own in pvp, better yet can they make a difference in a group?







Very good question.....and I will tell you thatagainst 2or 3I can hold my own against any prof except CM. Now that doesn't mean I can beat them either....If they have the same uber setup then no prof except CM can kill them either.


It is not just Carbineer, the entire state of high-end PvP is only the decay of armor.....hence I don't PvP much unless in a good sized group.

I do quite well in single, and grouped PvP as a BH 0400 Master carbineer, SL 0010.


Mainly because at least on Valcyn people see someone with a carbine, and don't think of me as a threat. In duels, the only profs I have problems with are the CM's and the Doctors. The state heals from docs, and the mind poison from CM's eat me alive.


I don't kill them fast, but usually I do kill them.


In group PvP, it's a whole different story. I find myself using FAA2 and Actionshot2 far more often than the rest, although for particularly tough targets, I'll KD/dizzy, and let my riflemen buds score the kill with some headshots.


I've said it before and I'll say it again, and profession that relies on stun in order to do damage is broken. Period. With my armor, PSG, and synth-steak, a nice jawa ion still only pops me for about 75-80 damage. And to be honest, that's a joke. Especially, when with my DXR6 I'm hitting them in all three pools for around 200-300.


Just a thought.

I hate that term support class. Makes me want to sit in Coronet and buff people all day while they complain the lines are too long and you overcharge them for **edit**ty buffs. With all the tools available ingame, Carbineer can be a stand alone pvp class. Think hybrid. And stop thinking we are a support class! =]
