Carbineers do not have a special like this. Carbineers have the FullAuto series, which has a (low) percent chance of inflicting blind, dizzy, or stun. They also have the legshot series, which can posture down the target, and the chargeshot series, which can knockdown the target (among others).


The tradeoff though is that all these attacks have a cone, area of effect version which can affect multiple people. Basically, a BH is verygood at controlling a single target, whereas a carbineer is good at affecting a group of targets.


I would strongly recommend taking a look at the "specials" thread stickied at the top of the forum. Unlike most other professions, carbineers have a wide variety of special attacks, and it is very important to know the differences between them all and when you should use what.

I wrote that on my own, thank you very much. And even if I did, which I didn't, do you really think a moderator will delete my message? One more post for me.


Hmm... now how to prevent TAfirehawk from responding to this message and getting more posts too...

From what i can tell you have about a 25-30 % chance to stun dizzy or blind with the /fullauto series. Not sure how reistances work though, i -think- it is just a percent chance to avoid a certain state. For example you use /fullautosingle2on someone with +70 defence against dizzy, so they would have a 70% chance of avoiding the dizzy. So 70% of 30% is 21%, so you have about a 1 in 5 chance to apply a dizzy/stun/blind, but that is all just speculation, everytime i test it i get weird results, but with a formula like that the results seem possible,


Anyone else have any advice or tips on testing this?

Im new to carbineer. I just have one question.......Is their a move similar to the BH attack known as Fire Knockdown, which possibly knocks your opponent down and possibly dizzies them aswell putting your opponent in a neutralized state. Is their an attack like this? Similar to this? or even better than this?


Please tell.


Thanks

Read the STICKY posts on Specials and the FAQ.....


ChargeShot1 is single target KD and ChargeShot2 is Cone Effect KD


The entire FullAuto Series can do Dizzy/Blind/Stun....in single or area form.
