I started out going for BH, and during the course of Marksman, I figured out that I liked carbines. So I gave novice a try, made it about half way up the profession, and dropped it because Pistolleer seemed a better way to go at the time.


After a while, I realized that pistols just weren't fun, and moved back over to carbines. Plan on staying that way after the CU.

with my main i started out armorsmith/carbineer until they put the timers on action shot way back in the day and went tkm after that, however on my 2nd account i did ch/carb until i couldn't afford it but switched to doc/swordsman when i reactivated it so...


that 2nd account currently has 4240 medic and the carb/ranged support trees in marksman in tc5 so i'd have to say...returning?


(oh i missed carbineer)

I started as a carb and LOVED that !! I loved the look of my weapons, I loved the look of my toon bearing them... etc...

but I went rifle a while ago after I got pissed being totally unuseful in PVP (I am Mdoc not BH) after I got slained by a silly corsec in Daoba.

Now I have more charachters, and am gonna master carb and SL with one of them, and she will have all my precious carbines I never sold but kept aside in my bank for the day, which I knew would come, where carbineer would be something else than a penance.

I'm staying. I might take a short break in a month or two, but I'm definitely not leaving SWG and I'm definitely not leaving carbineer.

Kinda hard to get a good cross-section of pollers on this forum


Those here right now might be a bit biased

I agree, but I am also polling Rifleman, Bounty Hunter, and Pistoleer. We have been the nerfed professions for a while now, while the Melee have enjoyed great power, the Crafters have gladly taken our money, and the Docs charge us 15k on average for buffs so we can survive long enough to grind our firearms. It was my suspicion that the people complaining the loudest are the ones who are losing their ubernes to become role balanced in a role playing game (go figure). I bet if I did this poll in the TK forum or Pikeman, the numbers might be different. Then again, ask me if I care about how many TK and Pikeman are staying

I am torn between the pistol route, or the carbine route.

Depending on how I see some of the specials and weapons certs play out will depend on which way I go.

My first post on these forums. Haven't been a master carbineer long, about three months. I took my time and enjoyed the slow climb, learning as I went. I initially only took carbineer because when I changed servers,I was looking for weapons and found a crate of five E-11's for an unbeatable price. The T-21's at the time as well as other rifles were pitiful due to poor resources. So I took up carbines as a means to defend myself, and fell into it.


Chalk me up as one that will keep master carbineer post-CURB. I will probably drop doctor though, in favor of Combat Medic, for the ranged heals. I took a look at the weapons for both rifleman and carbineer, the only two ranged professions I would consider, and I wasn't impressed with the rifles. I like the looks of the E-5 and the proton, though I will likely stick with one of the weapons seen used by stormtroopers in the films.

Are you kidding me? That's a GLORIOUS moment for us, finally Carbineer will have their revenge! We still have to wait a few weeks, then we will be exactly like the other combat professions! And when it will happen, I'LL BE THERE!!!

*holds Laser carbine tight*


I may have spent alot of time to get one of these things "uber" and I may hang it on a wall as a decoration after the CU for the "New Hotness"... but I will not trade my carbines for anything.
