As a newly minted BH/Carbineer hybrid, I can tell you I still consider myself very much a Carbineer.

BH is great for supplementing Carbineer with speed and some new state effect attacks, but the reality is, most of my better attacks are Carbineer shots.

If a target doesn't seem to be medically capable, CripplingShot has been lethal in service.

If I see a small blue bar, ScatterShots put the fear of god in them in fast engagements.

If there's more than one person, you know you're falling back on BurstShot2 or the FAA shots.

If they're a melee FOTM, I drop a max damage power up and abuse them for their lack of ranged mitigation. (I've done this a few times, its SO fun

)

I say this as a friendly counter, TA, but how real a carbineer is a bionic warrior with 60 million credits in SEAs plugged into him?

ooooooo

He does have a point. I do not know about other servers, but on wanderhome I haven't seen a decent (above 5) SEA for sale in months. They must have nerfed the spawns. If this is true, that going the SEA route will become very very impactical.

Sorry Nova, your server must be borked because the market is absolutely FLOODED with Carbineer SEA's on Chilastra.....

If I win a couple more auctions I will be near +40 extra Carbine Speed and +20 Carbine Accuracy......Counterattack is tough but Accuracy While Moving should have 4-8 extra real soon

BURN!

I'm in the same boat as TA. I have all the SEA's so BH Carbs is really redundant but I'm doing it anyway /shrug. As for your commment Nova, I don't think there is any gamewide nerf going on. There are several nice attachemnts for sale on Eclipse right now.

It is and it isn't redundant. Even with SEA you cannot fire those really amazing laser and dxr-6 carbines with stocks/scopes at the speed cap. You still need to pick and choose your carbines carefully.

Since I wentup the BH 0x00 line, I am using crippleshot exclusively with those heavy hitters and there is a rather significant increase in my damage output. In essence, I went from 83 speed to some crazy number over 100 and I have noticed I am killing everything faster. It certainly isnt the same jump as going from 60 > 80ish but it is noticable.

I think it really depends on what carbines you have access to. If you havea certain set of enhanced carbines with the right slices, the SEA route is very good. However, if you have access to those big damage laser/elites/dxr6s, BH/carbine really breaks out. Personally, I have little patience for dealing with buying krayt weapons and getting screwed on the wrong slice. I'd rather seak out those narly weaponsmiths making 4.5 speed lasers with insane damage and getting once of those with a 30% damage slice. Each to his own

I've noticed an improvement too.

I went one on one with a Fencer and kited him down to squat for Health through composite armor and 2500 point buffs using a 300+ max damage Elite Carbine with CripplingShot almost exclusively. I couldn't get any of my KD's to work, so I figured I'd just beat the shizznit out of him and hope for the best. I shocked both of us.

Awesome feeling.

Guys thanks again for your comments. I am just about ready to reclaim my rifle points and stick with carbs

Now all I need is for novamarine to sell me his broken bandalier on the cheap

IT is true to say that Wanderhome is suffering a huge lull in even half decent skill tapes. Carbine tapes are the hardest to find - even Rifle and 2H are more common, although STUPIDLY expensive

I wish our server was like that. Everything is hugely expensive on bloodfin.

Alot of people are going 0 3 0 4 carbines with master rifle to get the kd and state effects. This is causing huge demand for speed and acc tapes, so that people can cap their 1.4-1.6 speed dh17's.

I have loved carbines since I started playing at launch. I also dont like waeering armor which works out nice since the ham costs make me cry for the simpler days when super cdefs were all the rage.
