Carbineer Archive

I currently use this weapon most people say I am nuts. But look at the stats and try for yourself.

Has a Speed of 1.7 (speed sliced)

Dmg is about 65-165

HAMs are about 25-28-18

I am not positive on the stats as I am not in game. I was just wondering if anyone else does or has used this weapon and why you do or dont anymore?

I know what you are saying, i have one sliced for dmg that reaches 299 max dmg w/ a powerup (i cant remember the low end but it's something like 150) this thing is the sweetest weapon around, low ham cost and the dmg is similar to my laser w/o killing myself.

I have one that does 91-220, sliced for damage, and 2.6 speed. I use it more than any other weapon. I can actually use specials without killing myself with it!

I use this too, it's a great weapon that can be made in nice variants. Downside is it has no armor piercing.

Ok good so I am not crazy as I thought..Yeah the no Armor piercing sucks but ahwell. This thing is like using a pistol with bad HAMs basically So I can stay Carbineer with the hopes that changes will come someday and not selling out to be a Pistoleer till then Thanks for the posts all

I am currently using one that's 82-326 dmg at 1.9 spd with max/min dmg powerup. I agree that this baby is sweet due to its low ham costs but it's light armor piercing prevents me from using it all the time.

You guys got some mean snubs there

I used a sliced snubnosed too for a long time. It was good, but not super. Then I switch to a EE3 that was a bit better. Yesterday I bought my first elite, 83-165 sliced to 2.4 speed. Works for me.

Mine is 116-260, speed 2.9, ham is somewhere around 20/30/11.

The snubs are great...I have an awesome one myself. They are awesome on the beginning planets. However they just dont cut it long term. Even with the big damage, remember an Ar1 mob will cut the damage in half. An Ar1 mob with 20% resist will have you doing only 30% of damage. Almost everything has some energy resist which cuts your damage down alot.

You also have to note that scout blasters can be made really high damage these days...but you dont see the pistoleers using them do you? They go for heat damage...energy resist is just all too common.

When I hit a weapon shop I average the min-max damage of the weapons then divide by the speed to get the average damage/time. So far nothing has beat my laser carbs. Factor in the ar2 rating and it is the only gun I use 95% of the time or more. If you don't have medic skills to deal with your HAM getting worked by your specials like a chihuahua on a coctail frank the snubnose might be your best pal though.

Greetings. I've been using an e11 as my general all-purpose carbine. I have a drx6 that I almost never ever use, an ee3 that I almost never ever use, and two laser carbines.I useone of thelasers with stock and a minimum damage powerup to land bleeds and use it in pvp when I have a doctor around. I'll have to get the weapon stats later, butIget as2's(pve) that hit for over 1000 a tic. The ham is extremely high though. In the range of 250 above my head for a fullauto2.

Greetings. Btw the reason for the e11 over the dh17 is that the dps is similar when you factor in the ar1, but it's much higher against ar1 mobs. I don't really see any reason to use a dh17 over an e11.

Yes it's a very nice weapon. I use it as a combo with my Laser. But i would not only use one.

For example, yesterday i was tanking dewbacks with my pet and kneeling at 50m with the laser, was doing 750 points legshots.

But since i'm still only 1,0,0,0, i miss a lot on pointblank especially while moving i prefer the subnose when navigatingclose the the creatures like when i train babies. I site at ideal range from the creature, send the level 1 or level 2 baby them kill immediatly the creature in 1 shot before the baby get killed. With the laser, i used to miss that technique 1/5 so the baby could get killed and need more healing. (My laser is slow, it's powerfull but slow 3.6 53/335, w/powerup about 62/453)

Anyway first time i write something here but despite all the problems about this profession, i love it.
