In Pvp, against a 66% base comp armor. Which carbine would you guys use? In situation against a Ranged... or against a Melee.
Ranged Mitigation kills the Laser carbine so.. i'm not too sure. Plus my DXR is 214-315 4.2 spd, however.. not really doing much dmg to people. Any suggestions?

huh? Personally with my experience with FireKD i didn't like it. The Dizzy was nice but the fact that it is random whether it dizzy's, KD's, dizzy/KD's, or does nothing didn't really appeal to me. Personally with BH Carbines, confusion shot followed bychargeshot/underhand was what i liked.

yah, i noticed the second post after i replied ... such is life though.
DXR-6 is my choice for almost all PvP. Acid Damage really helps and IMO outways Medium AP. Laser is great against those MBrawler, MFencer, TKM types though. definitely keep them both hotkeyed.

Some people swear by the AP multiplier of the Laser, but given that only truly works well when PSGs aren't in the picture. Good luck finding any PvP that doesn't involve PSGs anymore.
Even the roleplaying group I PvP with will be adding Type III PSGs to their retinue of defenses to cover the Acid holes in Stormtrooper and Rebel Marine armor.

The thing about carbines is that there isn't necessarilly a universal carbine for your pvp purposes. Usually you will have to analyze your opponent for a few moments and determine his template as best you can. If you think you're going up against some hardcore Melee dude, keep kiting him and use a laser carbine. Since he probably doesn't have ranged mitigation on him, your damage won't get mitigated so it will put a lot of hurt on them. Of course, against people with ranged mitigation you'll need a carbine with relatively close min-max damageratios. Personally, I use a DXR6 with good min/max ratioto do damage against ranged opponents because of the lack of acid protection on PSG's, and it has AP 1.

I thought Personal Shield Generators were all vulnerable to Acid damage?

No, the Mk. 3 has different resists than the Imp Prototype PSG......the Imp PSG is by far the choice of most PvP'ers because the Condition is 2X or 3X that of the Mk. 3

I always start with the LC and hope for the best. If I dont like how fast there energy bar is decreasing after the first three shots I will switch to my DXR6 and stick with it.

I found some Type III's last night that were Acid vulnerable, is this something you need to have them crafted to cover?

I know PSG's from 6-9 months ago had varied things for vulnerability....changes have been made and honestly I only use the Imp PSG because of its condition....
A question for the Armorsmith Forum
