this prof was good until they nerfed knockdown and posture change, now it sucks.


Our "class" weapon is also broken causing us to suck all that much more.


A bunch of our specials dont work, and dev's dont care.


Yes it is broken, be something else.

If I put my laser carbine in my mouth, and pull the trigger, the HAM costs kill me before the laser even goes off. If I'm really determined when I reclone, and try to use a special to get the job done, the HAM costs kill me again. I shouldn't have to use a Tattoine sunburn to kill myself, or inject pixie dust to do it either.



Crowd control is now anything but. Fortunately, bleed kiting still works like a charm. As long as I have enough stim b's to stack some bleeds. Otherwise, see previously mentioned attempts at cooking my brain.



Oh, and if someone engages me in combat, or I them. I stop. Try running away from an angry mob of players sometime. I guess my carbine feels sory for my lack of ability to kill muself, and forces me to promptly donate FPs to anyone with burst run and an attack button.



oh



sorry



I meant:



/yes

Totally broken, i would have quit but (although crappy) this is the only mmorpg around that i havnt already played. I would have dropped carbineer but i feel they will nerf my next class as well so it doesnt much matter.

There is a lot of work to be done on the Carbineer profession. Also remember that the Elite Carbines are completely worthless. The DXR6 Carbine is dealing better damage and shots faster as well. There is no reason to use an Elite Carbine over a DXR6 in my opinion.


Going to make a new post on this one.


Almost broken.

No - carbineer is not broken. I have a smuggler/pistoleer on Radiant and I do far more damage per second with my carbineer. The HAM costs are high per special but I have to fire a lot less of them with my carbine.

Hmm. Not a carbineer but I was thinking about it. Have novice pistoleer and see the damage done by my specials (Disarming Shot 1 and Double Tap) with a DX2 range from 400-500 a shot. I was getting over 700 damageusing Full Auto Single 1 with a Laser Carbine. After reading the posts in this forum, don't know what I'll do.

Broken / Yes



Maybe it should be another post but another thing is ranges on weapons, my friend has a pistol and at 25m from the target hes got pluses while I am using my trusty carbine at 25m from the target and I have minus to hit, thats just wrong in my opinion <g>.

gpunk- If I put my laser carbine in my mouth, and pull the trigger, the HAM costs kill me before the laser even goes off.


Lmfao.


If it isn't broken, it is definitely bent all to hell. My HAM costs leave me almost dead several times in every single fight even if I never get hit. It's way too much.I have never fireda weapon in real life and then had to drop to the ground completely exhausted and nearly dead...Isn't that the whole reason we stopped using tree trunks as clubs and moved on to lasers? Legshot 3 really needs to be fixed. The posture changes were the backbone of our special attacks being endlessly more efective than the status changes which actually work. (Fix dizzy dammit.)
