Carbineer Archive

When I took up carbs it was not FOTM or even remotely looked upon...

I chose the carb as my main weapon because I believe the carb is StarWars in terms of Ranged combat.

I like the range and the ability to do crowd control....errr however after CU it seems we fallen less and less into crowd control..
hopefully they tweak a few moves.

I went Carbineer before the CU when being too close or too far really had an effect on combat. I think it has well balanced specials, area attacks, and deals substantial damage. I am also a master smugglerso combining the specials of the master smuggler with the Krayt E11 Mark II is a deadly combination.

A flashback from the past for Pre-CU Carbineers:

Charge Shot (Area KD version)
then
Area Dizzy

Flopping Fish, FTW!

"OMG!!! Carbineer haxorx!!!"

I went Master Carbineer just to be different, on Chimaera (pre-CU)PvP wise it was either Jedi, Rifleman/CM or Melee/Doc templates all the time. I think I was the only hardcore PvP'er on Chim who was a Carbineer, so it worked out well

Back in July of '03, it was the fastest one to grind out of Marksman, because the first FullAutoSingle attack was available at Carbines II.

I had two elite melee profs in the beginning. But, after beginning the loooong FS grind, I became bored with melee and wanted a ranged skill. So, I took a break and switched my template over to MC. I chose carbs because of the blend of accuracy,speed, and damage; not to mention the fact that I already owned battle armor. Plus, carbs are just plain cool.Ranged combat/tactics have really added a new dimension to the game for me and I highly recommend it.

I have been Carbineer since start, Since Getting No Love to alot of Love.. I have loved carbineer from the start.

I have always thought Carbineer was supposed to be more challenging especially with the action costs.

when i first started out, I thought powerups only worked on carbines, thats why i loved them so much.

then i became a carbineer

I chose carbineer sorta by chance, I was grinding the 60k combat xp to get novice BH(this was a looooong time ago, in the first couple weeks). The weapon I was using happend to be a carbine, simply because it was my best gun at the time, a EE3 I think, link steel had just spawned on the server, and I went and bought on of these bad boys, cost me 50k back then, that was a hell of a lot of money.

The carbine tree was the last one I was doing in marksman, so I just kept grinding away with the carbine, 60k combat xp for novice BH=600k carbine xp, so before I was even part way done, I qualified for novice carbineer, so I took it, figured I would get a little more power, make getting BH that much faster, then I got bh, and used the XP I had to get the first 2 boxs in carbines, then I got the whole BH carbine tree, (meanwhile, I mastered ranger, and dropped it) then I went back and finished up carbineer, cause I was liking it so much(the no KD timer and all that made it a little fun )

So that was my template for a loong time, MCarbs, BH 3/4/0/0, then they dropped the master scout requirements, so I picked up the rest of BH, now another year later, the dropped some of the marksman requirements, so now I have some in combat medic =/ almost a cookie cutter template, though mine hasnt really changed, ever, just shifted a little bit.
