Carbineer Archive

Well... I choose my template shortly after the game came out. Figured Carbineer would go well with Pikeman for action pool damage.

I dropped Pikeman after the CU.. but kept Carbs.

- 50-60m range without those silly rusty-looking cyber arms

- POWER. Over 1000 damage caps with a good amount of speed. I do more DPS (real world, not whats on the gun) as a Carbineer than I ever did as a pistoleer.

- Specials. Major power attack, TWO snares, ranged KD, and AOE attacks.

Before the Cu I was a MBH/Pistoleer. I choose carbs for 1 reason. Battle armor Cert. Ie Padded and Ris.

pre CU i was a pikeman, post CU i became a carbineer, i have always loved being crowd control and a high damage dealer, i never really liked tanking

I first mastered carbs back when NO ONE was carbs, I had to get trained by the skill trainer for every skill lol. I loved carbs back then, but then I went to my first true love pistols and love that. Recently I switched from pistols/bh to one line of carbs with Bh and then decided to drop mcm for master carbs and once again love it. Also I RP as a clone trooper and clones either gotta use carbs or rifles and I hate rifles. On top of all that I am having a double (damage, sac) capped carbine made, just traded some BH armor for a bothan bola carb, and dc-15 and love both guns the bola does MUCH MUCH better than most people make it sound, although I have not compared it to my double capped carb yet, it looks cool and is a really nice gun.

Oh not to mention the mercenary tag, I love it and wear that over any other tag.

I chose carbineer for my alt because Stormtroopers use carbines.

Because at the time I was a master artisan/master architect, and the group I played with had pistoleers and rifleman. I could get just enough carbineer skills for an area attack, and legshot/position attacks.

I was a Smuggler/ Pistoleer, but all the specials were redundant...

Carbines have the most consistant damage per second (not the DPS number). Action not as bad as rifles/ hvy weapons. Very powerful shots, nice snares.....waaaay more powerful than pistols.

well i think i have the silliest reason of all

i first used a carbine because, At the time, i had some artisan and had just gotten the stuff craft either a CDEF rifle or carbine. so i looked at the two, and the carbine looked cooler IMO so i made that, and the rest, is history! and i was to lazy to change to somethng else

i was a total n00b at the time, so i had NO idea what the diff between the rifle and the carb was, lol. infact, i still have tht first carbine, the very first i ever used

and i fell in love with the carbineer prof, i read about the other profs but i liked the way carbineer worked most of all, so i guess it was good uck that i choose carbineer way back then

I chose Carbineer because I became a Carbineer in the last couple months before the Combat Upgrade came on Live.

Carbineer back then can be equated to this: It was a profession people often ignored or even sneered at, until a player who knew how to play it, showed them what it can do.

Carbineer is quite different now, but I stay out of loyalty and that 90% of it works reliably.

Plus, Carbines look awesome in SWG.
