Having completed several non-elite combat professions and maintaining my elite Artisan profession I only get three elite Carbineer boxes to play wth.

What positive suggestions would the Carbineer professionals have for the three boxes?

Regards,

3000 Gets you Scattershot2 and speed.

0300 Gets you Cripplingshot and acc.

0003 Gets you FullAutoArea2 and Chargeshot 1, Acc while moving.

Scattershot2 and Cripplingshot have the same damage output, so its really a choice of speed or acc. Most people will tell you the acc is the most important. I'll agree. FullAutoArea and Chargeshot are utility shots, and wont hurt your opponent like crippling or scatter.. but will lay down a cone of blind, stun, and dizzy. Plus targeted KD.

My personal choice is to go with 0003.

All I can say is dabbling in Carbineer is like dabbling in CH after they spread out the Pet Levels......pretty rough.....

I'd go 0300 for the accuracy alone. Stay buffed and use fullautosingle2. Use speed sliced carbines.

At low accuracy not only will you miss incredibly often, but when you do hit, the target will dodge/counterattack. When I was leveling carbineer I can remember when I was 4002 that I was pulling my hair out. Chargeshot1 never hit. The special has very low accuracy. Normal specials were hitting less than 50% of the time and probably 25-50% of the hits were dodged, etc. At 4300 I noticed my specials were actually hitting reliably.

Also after Publish 8, you will get have legshot3 which will become an AoE action targeting special with a high chance to stun. So, when needed, you can bust out a AoE special that lays a stun down. Further, the new damage on legshot3 might just make it a nice special (who knows...).
