Carbineer Archive

I just noticed, I carry 15 carbines...

3 Elite Carbines

3 DXR6 Carbines

2 DH17 snub carbines

1 EE3 Carbine

and 6 laser carbines

I just realized that, and with that 20% decay stuff... I decided to put away most of it at the house... just in case I forget =D

1 DXR6, 1 LC, 1 Snub..

2 Laser Carbines (1 with high damage/ 1 with stock and Speed slice)

1 Elite

1 DXR6

1 Snub

3 Elites (1 great damage, great speed but low durability, 2 standbys)
1 Laser (Good damage, good speed, AR2)
1 DXR6 (acid, bad speed 4.5, good damage)
1 EE3 (Heat, high damage, great speed 2.2, and no AR)

My initial philosophy playing a carbineer was to get an elite and stay with it, since it was 'the best'. AFter reading several posts I went to my weaponsmith of choice and got a few examples of each type.
I'm finding now that if the opponent is not heat-resistant or armored, my EE3 is hands-down the best. Same damage as the elite, has a radius of effect (not sure about what it does yet) and is very fast.
If they're heat-resist and/or ar1, I use the elite. It's fast, it's stable.
If they're AR2 and/or heat resist, I use the laser.
If they're ar1/ar0 and/or heat/energy resist I use the dxr6, but usually one of the others can hit for the same damage anyway.

I'm finding that using the laser for a good bleed in the start (have been stacking bleeds for 1k to 1.5k per pulse) and switching to a faster, more reliable gun is the way to go. I can solo redcons (force sensitives, this week) and only die about half the time. If you pick a mob with no ranged attack component, you can kite them to death with the judicious use of chargeshot1 if they get close, or another bleed and hope for a posture change. Then you keep running to 50m and let him follow.

This sound like anyone else's tactic, or am I just talking crazy?

-FL

I carry about 15-25 at any given time, stock always rotating, all sliced and top of the line. I keep 4 hot keyed for combat depending on speed, dmg, AP and HAM.

4 carbines total..

1 Laser Carbine- for rangedsniping / High damage

1 DH17 - Low HAM usage / quick firing spam gun (warningshot kiting or knockdown spam)

1 DXR6 - For acid damage and close range fighting

1 EE3 - For heat damage and close range fighting

1 DXR6

1 DH17 Short

1 E11

2 Lasers

I carry 1 DH17 (2.4 Speed, 103-244), One laser (2.7 speed, 43-264) and one DXR6 (3.7 speed, 104-211).

But in my large house, i've about 10 carbines exposed on the wall. I don't see the need to carry more than 3 or 4 carbines at a t ime. IMO

4at the moment. Two lasers, one heat, and once acid.

4 right now:

1 Laser

1 EE3

1 Elite

1 Dxr6

--shrug--

2 lasers. The one I am using, and the one that is waiting to get repaired.

Oobacca

2 to 3 Lasers with Hair trigger power ups

1 EE3 with speed slice and Min/max power up

1DX6 with speed slice and min/max power up

2 Krayt DH17 Short Carbine with min/max power ups

1 Elite piece of crap to take out ST camps after all the STs have been killed/

Im waiting on a krayt laser carbine which will become my PvP weapon of choice. Made with 75 Max Krayt Tissues.
