Carbineer Archive

Oddly to say, Laser Carbines are great looking guns on paper with medium AP and high max damage but the min damage is often too low (under 100) and not very effective against range damage migrated opponments or ones with higher energy resists, the Elite carbines (that gun is mentioned on just about every thread in this forum section) and even a decently made DXR6 or E11 carbine as well.

I like my 3.2 67-393 max dmg LC but it seems my 2.8 127-187 DXR6 or 3.0 180-277 Elite are more effective against most targets but has shightly higher ham costs.

I couldn't point out the most "ub3rest" carbine other than a well made Krayt LC or Elite, and I would love to have a Krayt DXR6!

Laser Carbines are likely the most popular weapon we have available and with good reason. Reasonable Damage, Medium AP and we can use them at Marksman Carbines 3. As long as they are stocked the minimum damage usually isn't too bad and the medium AP value sure helps cut through enemies. For PvE Laser is King, it is only when you get into PvP and Damage Mitigation that the DXR-6 and Elite really shine.

The words "uber" and "carbine" have no place in the same sentence without the word "not" between them in some shape or form.

Well for a non-BH, my Laser Carbine with 1.8 Speed and 80-480 Damage with Powerup is quite an effective weapon in most any situation.....

And for those times when AP doesn't matter I have a 1.5 Speed Enhanced E11 with almost as high of damage

Not sure why the tissues matter, but lets look at your latest Laser Carbines you made....

Damage 83-320 unsliced with everything but Tissues......use say +80 Krayt Tissue takes it to 83-400 and then slice it for 35% damage it becomes....

112-540 damage

Give or take you can back into what tissue was probably used and the ballpark of the slice

I stay away from most +30/-0.3 tissues.......but they are quite cheap

Personally since I am not a BH and have ONLY +84 Carbine Speed, I shoot for +50/-0.50 tissues to go with my Imp Stocks and PRAY for a Damage Slice.....which I did NOT get last time

Next round of Carbines will be after the Combat Balance.....

The spd on my carbine is 3.4
