Carbineer Archive

Ok, flame all you want, I find good flames quite funny, NOW. . .

I am almost pure crafter. Master Artisan, Master Architect, Quite a bit of Merchant. I've just gotten enough points for Carbiner and I took it. Now I'm new to combat, and plan on exploring that side of the game more as I shift some skills over to carbiner and I'm looking for someone who can give me a brief explanation of the skill and maybe even some good PVP combat macros. So if someone wants to take a sec and give me a quick Carbine FAQ and guide I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jaye, Valcyn

Domt do it, turn back now ... be afraid be very afraid

All of you are insane.

E11 Carbine - 1.3 speed, with fullauto or burstshot you can hit 1500 dmg easily at the same rate of the 'mighty' pistoleer.

As you climb up the carbineer ladder (the only weapon class worthy of Mastering) you will receive distance knockdowns effective in PvE and PvP, stuns, bleeds and a variety of other specials that make silly pistoleers jealous. Pistol whip? Ill knock your gun slinging self down from 64m out...try to get close to me. :-)

As for XP, pick up a fast laser carbine (2.4-2.7 range). Youll deal over 2k damage a shot, and even the pistoleer dealing 500dmg twice every one of your shots will still be only halfway into the game...I always get at least double the XP as my any other in my group because I deal damage faster and heavier than they can think of doing. Actually Commandos keep up with me and have cooler animations...

Dont let the negative people above discourage you - carbines are cool, and if used effectively extremely deadly.

Carbine will work fine for you but you really need to go CH because neither pistol or carbine will work without a meatshield. As to PvP dont try it; PvP is something for the hardcore and your class just doesnt have enough invested into "killer" skills. You will end up dying nonstop. If you have any interest in PvP buy a second account.

Go pistoleer.

Okay... maybe that was a little harsh... but Honestly.... with the few skill points you'll have left as a carbineer, you won't be doing much dmg at all.

Pistols are faster - and almost have the max dmg compared to that of a good laser carbine

With the few skill points, pistols are the way to go........ if you go carbineer when you're a pure crafter, you won't do anything much probably die if most of the time.

If the reason was you saw a carbineer kill with ease pvping, most likely you saw a Carbineer/BH carbine - which takes up all your skills points.

Pistols however, does almost the same dmg - all you really need is fanshot (seeing you can spam it all you want) pistols will always shoot faster and has a higher DMG outpost over time.

Turn back now before you are tainted by a horribly disfigured class. We are the of the d@mned, we are of the cursed, we are of the wretched. But if you do decide to stick with us we are about to have a party. Yeah really we are inviting the chefs, squad leaders, and pikeman. Nothing special really we are going to have some chips and salsa, maybe have a karaoke machine and sign along to some wham and air supply. We may even have a mime I dont know.

The damage mod on burst and fullauto is 5x. To hit for 1500 damage, you need a 300 damage E11 carbine.

You must have some awesome weaponsmiths and magical leprechans to get that kind of damage from an E11.

Guess I must, because thats what Im getting with the E11, and...look, I hit over 2200 with my laser carbine. Go figure. Hmmm...maybe you forgot something in calculating damage...perhaps?

one i use atm is a krayat e11 got a frigging spd slice but oh well standard ham costs for an e11 max dam of 203 spd 1.7, very nice for full auto can't wait to get some more +acc cause at max range the e11 sucks big time- my only complaint about the weapon

If they would fix the elite carbines, I would feel a touch better about being a carbineer. As it stands though, I generally don't do as much damage at a good rate of fire.

Carbineer sucks azz unless you dabble... I have carb 4-3-1-3 skills and BH 0-3-0-0 and I do insane dmg with my laser carb and cripple shot. I can outdmg all those pistoleer girlies... but without the BH dabbling I would definetely suck. That, and the fact that I shoot cripple shot so fast that I nearly kill myself every time I spam it.
