Carbineer Archive

Ok, as it stands right now, BHes are considered the "best" combat class, which may be true. BUT they get NO defensive bonuses past marksmen, whereas all other combat profs do. Once they get defensive skills working right (esp knockdown resists) I dont think BHes will be so uber. They will still be good, but not AS good as they were, and there will be advantages to NOT being a BH.

Wow, I use to many caps.

well the whole thing about BH is their knockdowns, does damage as well as knocks you down. But anyways a master Carbineer should be able to own a novice BH, but right now that is not the case. BTW BH is such an easy class to get to. 40k combat exp, i got 60k in one day. It really isnt that hard to do.

mastering scouting is a pain. camping and trapping is just crazy to level. i'ma bh and going to master carbineer.

best of bothworld

There is a great deal of whining and of comparing the skills and values of Bounty Hunter (carbine) vs those of a Carbineer.

I suppose this is Natural... for the moment.

All to often these complaints begin with "It's so easy to reach Bounty Hunter..."

How much of this "Grass is greener" comparison will disapear when Carbineer issues are fixed?

This profession may STILL not be what you are looking for.

Some people need to face that.

If you are looking for 1v1 PvP Gods, well...

It may still not be us.

If you can't take a BH now with Full auto Area 1/2, or with Leg shot 3, or any of the other, Broken AoE shots...

you won't be able to once they are fixed either.

What is your playstyle like?

Mine would be greatly enhanced if FAA1 worked as advertised,

Greatly.

Yours?

As I see it Carbineer offers elements which are lacking in Any Other Field, Not Rifle, nor Pistol, not Tersa, Not any of the Brawler Elites,

heck,

Not even the Vaunted Bounty Hunter.

Who, right now, can take on a pack of deep red meleers, a whole freakin lair, every single one,

Pop that lair,

draw up 20 angry Big, Bad, Beasties,

Who the heck is gonna survive that?

No kiting,

no buddies on the side healin ya,

just yer little lonesome?

Yeah,

Me,

Carbineer,

even now...

just with that little, tiny, Novice Carbineer skill.

Action Shot 2...

Long as Mind pool and Stims last (3/4 heal or better a pop), ya got it made.

Stops em dead in their tracks, throw a couple into them, start spamming AS2 and... start seeing HAM bars dropping all over the place, **edit**.... hehe

it sure is sweet.

Think Novice BH is easy ta get to...

Hell,

I had Novice Carbineer Long before Novice BH.

One on One...

well...

Go ahead and drop the points,

it's not that many extra... right? :-)

(And Carbineer! woot!)

All I know is that im going to master carbineer and take BH carbine to IV.. that way I can take my carbine skill to the highest that i can get it.

My personal guess is... taking both will really only add in more styles. If not, well only shows how little the devs think ahead once again.

?? Trapping is the easiest skill in the game. Should take you 2-3 hours to get all 4 levels of trapping. But you are right about Survival. zzzzzzz

Please show where underhand shot does 2000 dmg. Most I've ever done is 600.

I have done 2k damage against a mob with ar1 and 10% energy resist (or maybe it was none?) using underhandshot and a damage sliced laser carbine (~275 damage). Its not all that common, but it happens. It does the same damage as fullautosingle1 and burstshot1. Fire knockdown does less damage.

oops, that should be fullautosingle2.

quote "There's also the fact that using a laser carbine chargeshot1 does about 200-300 damage seems to keep them down for no time at all and uses around 140 ham. Underhand shot does about 200-2000 damage seems to keep them down long enough to fire 2-3 other shots and uses 79 ham. "

I'm both carboneer and BH carbine. I can 1 hit kill most playerswith carboneer skills, my BH skills help me alot morein PvE thou. If you can show me your screenshots of someone underhand shoting you for 2000 damage, in 1 hit, i'll show you stats of me using carboneer shots AND underhand shots, so you can see the truth.

I wont bother showing you screen shots of my dmg, if you guys are all about lies, now lets see a picture of someone doing 2k dmg hits with underhand.

well, you won't get a picture from me showing that kind of damage with Underhand shot...

hehe

I see all the folks claiming huge hits like that on a regular basis,

man,

first time I saw that I had ta look long and hard at my wep and wonder...**edit**, work dang you!

hehe

oh well,
