Thread: Novice Carbineer Good, But Novice Pistoleer/Rifleman Bad?

In my quest to get more skill points for CH/BH, I'm thinking about dropping Novice Rifleman and Novice Pistoleer.


Reasons:


1. T21 sucks compared to new Laser Rifles. And I don't use Strafe Shot.


2. Since I only use my Scatter or FWG Pistols, the DX2 the Novice Pistoleer gives you doesn't seem worth it. I would miss Health Shot 2, however. And can you stack Health Shot 1 & 2 for more effect?


Your thoughts?

my understanding is that health shot 1,2 can not be stacked currently, but is being worked on (at least, as i recall from the response jaegen88 got for his people)


if you only use pistols, i don't see any reason to keep novice carbineer over novice pistoleer, unless you really want the small accuracy/speed mods and action shot2.


actionshot 1,2 CAN be stacked currently. if i were you, i'd pick a weapon you like (i'd suggest pistol if you're indifferent, even though i like carbines myself) and advance with it. with a bh + anything combo, though, this is hard to do...with ch it makes it even more difficult. it IS possible to get tame2/train2 (which allows you to use a significant portion of the pets available) plus master BH, and have 9 points left over. if you're trying to get rid of novice elite professions to free up skill points,and you only have them for the 'elite' weapons they offer....get rid of them like the plage. the elite combat weapons suck, really really bad.

I also use my LLC, T21 and sometimes my laser carbine & laser rifle.


But that's about it.


Sounds like you agree with my thoughts though - Novice Rifleman and Pistoleer might be the thing to give up.


I'm also gonna give up Novice Ranger, too, I think.


But I'll never give up my pets and I might even add CM 3 so I pull out two at once!

As far as I can tell, healthshot 1 and 2 currently stack.
