Carbineer Archive

As a weaponsmith who's gonna get his Master box in ranged weapons I was curious if there's a market for EE3's or should I concentrate on resources for Laser. Which do you guys prefer? Thanks in advance.

You will probably sell quite a few lasers to people who just look at the max damage and say 'ooOoOoO!'.

I have both and like the laser better simply because it uses action for specials and has a better AR rating. The EE3 doesn't have good enough stats for me to use it all of the time, so I'm not going to migrate my stats for it.

Woohoo Laser Carbines...gotta love em.

What about elite carbines. That is the highlest level carbine we can have. I want one.

well the EE3 usually has the best attack speed, and it can be upped to have close to laser carbines damage but it is reliable. It doesnt SOMTIMES hit for 1300+ and then hit for 150. It is a good all around carbine. Also what does the damage radius on the EE3 do?

well on chilastra we dont even have the linksteel alum yet to make the laser weapons.

that being said, i have an EE3, and like it alot. but the damage is really poor. 58-136 3.5 spd.

i have a DLT20a rifle that i got for 5k and it has twice the damage (hit on the speed though, its 5.2).

i personally cant wait til we get some good carbines on our server.

believe me consistency is the main key in this game...that rifle has like what 20-300 or something? That means that you cant RELY on it that much. Sure its good for pvp becuase it CAN hit alot but its not a for sure every time. My EE3 kills players in 2 hits for sure. My laser can do it in one but if you miss its over

i used up my ee3 and got a laser and i like the laser immensely more. slice and slap a powerup on it and your good to go. plus the ar rating means it actually hits ALOT more than the ee3.

If you get high enough speed mods, the delay on the weapon will stop mattering, they'll all fire at the same speed. At that point there's no question of laser carbine being the better one of them in my opinion. Even if it does sometimes hit for low, it evens out in the end if you do your calculations on anything that can take more than3 hits from it. Slightly lower ham costs on the EE3 are for me at least offset by the fact that laser hits for more average damage per hit, getting more use out of the ham points used,and also kills things faster.

im beginning to like the E11 for its speed and am finding myself using it more than my laser carb these days. a decent EE3 can be made from what i hear and i keep one in my bag as well.

carbines, like rifles and pistols have their time and place based on their AP, speed, HAM costs and damage type(actual damage min/max is less of a factor). if youre fighting mobs with high heat resistance and high hit points (like many lizards on tatooine) you dont want to use an EE3 as it uses heat damage, instead you want something that hits hard to kill fast or hits fast (so you can spam specials that immobilize so you dont get eaten).

i say make em all

Elite is Horrible atm.

The Dx2, Elite Pistol, Far Superiorly outmatches it, so badly its way too funny.

i use an ee3 for speed, laser for damage.

use an e11 for speed (2.8), not to mention the AP1 on it. I use a laser to apply bleeds though, sometimes you get one of those massive bleeds that makes your day
