I know that the profession is not real good right now but they've promissed some fixes - right?

burst shot is absolute neccesity. scattershot 1 is for pvp as well.

I concur - I love burst shot. Even now that I have cripple shot I still use burst most of the time - fires much faster and the damage *I* get isn't that far below whatI get from using cripple.


I heard scatter and wild shot are also good but haven't started down that column yet myself...


Mainly I use burst shot on singles, full auto area on groups (with a pet tanking of course, otherwise it's suicide). I throw off the odd cripple but i have yet to see over 2000 damage while I normally see up to 1600 with burst shot with the same gun. I hear cripple is more useful if you ghet the BH carb line to make the speed acceptable. Everyone's tastes differ, I love burst shot.


I love it so much I am tempted to drop all of carbineer except for the burst shot box sometimes, hehe. Well maybe burst shot and full auto area =)


I figure I'll keep trying for master and see how it goes. Regardless, I think burst shot will pleasantly surprise you.

I would say if you can't take the full tree at least try to cover the basics; take the speed and accuracy lines. Without accuracy it doesn't matter what special you use, and carbines are coded to be pretty slowdespite the fact that they are "full auto capable"so you will find that although your damage per shot/burst is relatively high your damage over time will be very weak without the speed line.
