LOL, I would love to be in your position. Guns? Well as a beginner bick up a really nice DH17, later on get a Laser Carbine.

**edit** you! thats what i want my holocron to say!

this wont be that hard. Carbine for all its broken crap is still a pretty useful PVE class. PVP wise however we're pretty stumped because of some bugged skills. However your rate of fire mixed with medium level damage will be able to get you some good XP as long as you have a medic to heal your HAM.

master carbineer here, work till you can use a laser carbine and stick with it, none of the other carbines are worth your time, except a nice damage sliced dxr6, those arent too bad, after you can use a laser carbine work to expert carbine assault tactics for scatter shot 2, thats probly the best PVE attack carbineers have, its not too bad in pvpeither, and to simplify pvp for you, get intermediate carbine special abilitys for charge shot 1 which is a kd, then get expert carbine marksmanship for cripple shot, and kd someone and blast em with cripple shot that seems to work pretty nice.

**edit**... I want Master Carbineer also =P.

You got lucky, bud. Carbineer xp is probably the easiest to get, if you have someone to tank for you. Get full auto area as soon as you can (I don't remember which tree it is in). Go to Dathomir, the southern (scientific?) outpost, get giant baz nitch missions. Get a pet to tank for you, get lots of baz nitches on the pet (about 5 is good, more than that and pet has trouble keeping agro, which is bad for you) and spam full auto area 1/2. You can kill 5 2-3k xp mobs in about 1 minute or so, with a bit of downtime to get the pet back up. It's possible to make 100 K + an hour xp depending on your downtime.

I had a couple of really smooth runs doing this and made over 200k carbine xp an hour. I haven't played the other classes but as far as I know there aren't any other classes that can pull this off as successfully. I'm a master carbineer/novice ch/novice medic so I can solo fairly effectively doing this as well, if you don't have that combo you will probably need to find someone to at least duo with.

BTW this info is accurate as of...oh...august...as I've been off on military duty for the last 10 weeks and have only sporadically been into the game and haven't returned to dathomir since that time. If the giant baz nitches are still around they were amazingly prolific and very social, which meant that you could get them to cluster nicely on a pet.

Good luck with it, carbineer is actually a fun class to play, whether PVE or PVP. The first time you light of a serious full auto area 2 and see 5 mobs with 2k + dmg floating above their heads you will understand. Or do the same to a group of imps...hehe

yeah, definitely a good soloing quality of the carbine used to be the action shot for pve but that was nerfed to rarely change stance. if you still have combat xp from your pistol stuff, get right up to charge shot 1 and use a double bleed (action 1/2) with your laser then leg shot with a faster gun like a dh17 (really the best all purpose carb for speed and ham cost) until the bleed gets them coming at you at which point you stall a good charge shot then run back to max range and try to keep them at bay.

there's another xp strategy. carbine is supposed to be all about stance change and kd, but when they nerfed that, they nerfed the gun.

you may like crippling shot when you get it. it's pretty tastey.

man do i wish i had to give up dancing to get master carb.

you're making me jealous. my luck i'll get rifleman or architect.

if you can get your hands on a single krayt tissue have a weaponsmith make you a DH17 short carbine, mines is 75 to 211 Dmg, not bad for a newb weapon , 86 to 287 with a max/min dmg power up. You'll find this great for most things without armor. And it'll serve you great till you get more skills or until you can get a laser. A single krayt tissue isnt too hard to get. Just group up with a creature handler with a grual, a medic and head out to the graveyard on tatooine.

If my holocron said master carbineer I would be ecstatic.

Hey all, I just got a holocron tonight that told me to master carbineer as well. Thanks for all the info posted above as I will begin the grind tomorrow. I am currently a 0,3,4,0 Commando and 3,2,0,3 CH. I'm not happy about giving up one of the 2, but what can I do? I will morn the loss of my Graul Mauler or my Flamethrower very soon.

at least you dont have to master pikeman

Yeah... I got my holocron Thursday and it told me to master Carbineer as well. I was a master CH and master Pistoleer. So needless to say, I dropped all my pistol skills and immediately started working on my carbine skills. I had none! I managed to make apprentice carbineer that night, then the next night I got novice and used the 300k combat xp pts to get 3 skills. Now, I just run around Dantooine doing creature missions, making 40k xp per mission and 10k credits a mission. I've already mastered two tiers doing this, and I plan on being a master by Thursday. I usually average about 100k carbine xp an hour so once I get a day off from work, I'm going to grind for xp the whole day! And I just have to say one thing, I've had a hell of a lot more fun being a carbineer than I ever did as a pistoleer. Carbineers just haven't been getting the love they deserve. But once I saw 1600 above 6 targets with one attack, I fell in love instantly.
