Thread: Might want to pay attention to the FS system...
How is this any different than the current situation? Why don't I hear anyone complaining that a 0040 Marksman can't take on a Master Carbineer? Why aren't people protesting the injustice that a Novice Weaponsmith can't make as good items as a Master Weaponsmith? It's unfair that the Novice has to become a master just to become competetive! Oh, the horror!
Seriously, get a grip. Carbineers stand to gain the most from the FS quests (a 20% increase in our speed). Be happy.

QFE. Thank you, TAFirehawk.

I think we should ship TAfirehawk over to SOE dev team and have him fix the carbine profession. He probably knows more about than they do. lol
It is really a team effort around here.....and the largest share of the work was done by Nova.....
But SOE surely wouldn't like me since I am an Engineer with Common Sense.....all they want are people with "Money Cents" and their heads in the "sandbox" 
BTW, you hate me so bad you want to ship me off to a place Satan is scared of......SOE Dev Team.....OUCH!!!!!

Yes, we won't have to become FS... Everyone will try to become FS, anyway. Do I have to unlock to Force to have a fu**ing chance to win a duel, or to craft a decent armor? The GCW will be an event for FS characters, it will be normal to have the Force Bonuses.
But remember almost all other profs are Speed Capped, so they will have little to gain in any FS box besides Defenses.....whereas a pure Carbineer can go from +60 to +72 Carbine Speed, which is HUGE.
At +60 Carbine Speed you need a 1.0 Weapon to hit the 1.0 Speed Cap and at +72 Carbine Speed you cap with a 1.43 Weapon. Now that might not sound HUGE, but firing a 2.0 Weapon with +60 is a 2.0 Firing Speed and +72 is a 1.4 Firing Speed. Now this isn't UBER, but in just 10 seconds the +72 Carbine Speed person will get TWO more shots off than the +60 Carbine Speed.....and unfortunately THREE less than a Speed Capped person.....
The real deal kicks in when we get some more SPEED in the Revamp.....and I can almost guarantee we will get more speed or the other profs will be getting less so the net effect is a BALANCE

Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this, this is simple how I currently understand the system to be:
10 Weapons expconverts to1 FS exp in the Village.
Rank 1 FS box = 175,000 FS exp.
Rank 2 FS box= 250,000 FS exp.
Rank 3 FS box = 350,000 FS exp.
Rank 4 FS box = 450,000 FS exp.
Rank 4 Ranged Accuracy + Rank 4 Ranged Speed = 24,500,000 weapons exp. In this case, Carbine exp.
The 8 applicable FS boxes = 6 and 2/3 * Master Carbineer.
0400 BH= +50 Carbine Speed, +50 Carbine Accuracy.
0400 BH = 1,225,000 Carbine exp = 1 tree in Carbineer.
0400 BH = FireKD + Confusion Shot

Just an opinion, but that seems like a lot of work when better gains can be made elsewhere.
