Thread: A story about Charge shot
It's still a buggy special that needs to be fixed.

Fixed, yes, nerfed, no. You ignorantly want it nerfed.
And I bet you can still use your melee attacks through the animation just like you can your guns. Have you tried that yet? Bet you haven't.

I watched a BH/Carbineer (0400 BH, 4402 carbineer) solo a canyon krayt dragon over the weekend (you know, the 350k ham ones).
Charge shot, crippling shot, crippling shot, charge shot, crippling shot...etc.
She didn't even bother wearing armor, just buffed and on food to keep special costs free.
I will never understand why you carbineers think charge shot is 'working as intended' in any possible way whatsoever.
I'm glad the dev team is taking a look at it, as only a blind man would fail to see a problem with it's current status.

Observe the first line of your post. Notice the mention of BH. Now kindly take your post and put it on THEIR forums. Did I mention anything about being a BH? I am not, and neither are the majority of the people that use carbine. I can CS a krayt till the cows come home and never kill it by myself. I tried it one time and a 2 1/2 hour buff from a doc ran out before I got it down 100k. As someone WHO HAS THE PROFESSION I can say that I have tried all of these outragous things non-carbs claim can be done and I find none of them to be true. Solo an elder as a PURE CARBINEER? Not gonna happen. They can force run to 35 meters and force choke before you get 10 shots off.
As far as helping melee...... think a bit about what you are saying. When do you ever seea melee specialist charge across an open space at an opponent armed with a firearm? Only time I have seen it is when the melee guy is trying to commit suicide, but in SWG thanks to buffs and damage mitigation there is no way I could kill someone running at me before they hit me with kd/dizzy/bleed/blind/stun. If you want help as melee then I suggest you pick up a ranged profession, group with friends who are ranged professions, or learn to use houses/rocks/trees/buildings/etc. to block the shots as you move into YOUR range.
Cry not fair all you want. Fact is that people are trying to even the field by making US play by what THEY think is how it should be. If you aren't willing to accept that your character can't do it all, own everyone, and be unbeatable then you need to journey onward. Charge shot on its own is useless other than as defence. Charge shot with other professions is useful in PVE. Charge shot with other PLAYERS IN YOUR GROUP can be devestating. IF you can't get a group to help pin us down then you'd best not PVP against other groups. It is not up to us or the devs to make it easier for you, it is up to you to find a way to make it harder for us
I just stumbled in to this post and I must thank you Shi for keeping me laughing for the last 30 mins. "Mulitple BH/carbines could and did keep me pinned" ... hmm ... could you have lost possibly because there were just multiple anything fighting you, I don't know, if I see multiple BH/carbs I typically run. Oh and BTW, something I've noticed hunting with a fellow carbineer and stated before I believe, when my friend lands a CS1, I can not get a sucessful CS in until 30 secs have passed. Sure I may make the baddy trip or something for a sec, but it does not keep them from shooting me.
CS1 only gets 1 real knockdown every 30 secs, and its duration in maybe 5 secs. I dare you to become Master Carbineer and go find yourself a nice TKA/Brawler to pvp. Charge shot him, go ahead try spamming it. Even if you keep him on the ground most of the time to increase the amount of time necessary for him to get to you, you are still charging at him 5-10m every time you spam chargeshot. Once you get nice and close the TKA will warcry/dizzy/knockdown you and you will be on the ground until the devs give droid engineers some fixes, which trust me, is going to be a very long time.
As for people soloing Krayts or Nightsisters as Carbineers...nope not going to happen. Maybe a BH/carb can do it with their many additional status effects, but I've tried soloing a kimogila and CS is really pointless except for the 1 real knockdown every 30 secs. The little "failed" ones don't keep the thing from leaping 50m at me to take me down in 1-2 hits.
You are trolling Shi, plain and simple. While your early posts may have been inquiries your continued whining in the forum when so many reasonable, non-passionate posts of explanation have been provided for you, has earned you troll status. If you have nothing more constructive to add, please go ogre around the BH forums since your problem seems to involve them more than us.
