why in the world are you weraing composite armor for PVE if you are worried your ham costs are too high?
Because I knew no better. Now that I am more familiar with the game, i dont do that any more lol... i take ubese with me for when they close in and use a macro to swtich it on and off.
All I can do is offer my own personal opinion, in the end its up to how you want to play.
When I created my character I started with carbines because I thought they looked the coolest and did some decent damage but when going up the trees I found that there were some serious problems with the profession in that specials don't work and most especially the HAM costs were brutal! Now I did not make it to master but was close when in a whim I surrendered it all and decided to go pistols. I think the straw was when I missed 4 specials in a row! Anyway, I made it about halfway up the pistol tree when I seriously started to miss carbines. I could hit stuff more often at any range and did some decent damage with my FWG5 but it was the only gun I wanted to use and IMHO no other gun stacked up to the FWG5 but if the creature had heat resistances I was f*#ked. Now that I am heading back up the carbine tree I have three guns for different situations and that is a big plus and I seem to be hitting a lot more often then I was before. I miss rarely anymore. Ireally like carbines once again, well that and Tatooine Sunburn!!
Again this isn't a question that anyone can really answer as it is a personal opinion but that is the way I feel about it.
