Please, by the Force, fix our HAM. Carbines suck without the use of specials... and the specials eat us alive!

wow that was extreamly helpful i was gona go for 4004 but now i know i should either master it or if i dont have the sp 3312.thax that was extreamly helpful

and just so i can whine a bit...i would like warning shot either moved to the carbine tree, or more practically to make one of these questionably useful specials function like next level of warning shot. between warning shot, action shot, and charge shot there were enough specials to space out the timer and actually control crowds.

i had to give up ranged defense to master ch (and i can't give up medic) so i'm a little biased. just seems like another move that fits in line with the distinction concept.

It seems to me that actionshot2 does not damage or bleedall targets in its cone of effect but instead, when fired at a target that is in a group, it will damage the target aimed at without applying bleed to it and also hit one other target (even when there is more than onetarget within the AoE range.) This secondary target will not take damage from the initial hit but will have a bleed applied to it.

Ok, Im going to bring up something that may or may not be an issue for most people, but I ran into it with commando and also in carbineer.

My AOE cone shots do not always do damage to all of the creatures it hits. The game SAYS it hits them, but you can see their health afterwards, and they were untouched. They still think you hit them as well, so they aggro just the same. Again, this doesnt always happen, but I have seen it with grenades, Fullauto area, Flamecone and so on.

One thing I have noticed is Fullauto Area 1/2 will not hit more then 1 Mob in the first shot.. It will agro them all but the shot will not hit any target but your selected one for the first shot..

False info, please don't post in Official Sticky Threads like this, trolls.....

There is a false animation that gives the impression of a KD, but you are not KD'd so it doesn't fall under the timer.

I agree completely with Firehawk. It even gives you a messge saying you failed. They only look like they are being KDed.

Burstshot2 - single target - It is a slower version of Burstshot1 yet has the same damage modifier. To add insult to injury, it costs more HAM than burstshot1.
Fix: Increase damage modifer.
Redundant: Increasing the damage modifier will likely make the special redundant with crippleshot.

I would like to propose a solution to this. Do not increase damage modifier, since that would lead to redundancy. Instead, increase speed and lower HAM som it does the same damage as Burst1 but is faster (thus increasing DPS) and less HAM-costly (since the carbineer at this level has learned to make his shooting far more effective).

It would then hopefully be the spam of choice instead of a redundant special.

I busted my ass to get to chargeshot 2 and I get this crap? These specials really need to be fixed. And I gotta be buffed to even use my specials or after 2 specials I pretty much incapp myself.
