Thread: ranged support or more carbineer skills?

I was trying to think of where I can clear up some more Skill Points to make more room for Carbineer skills, and that Ranged Support line is using a good 14 skill points...

Ranged Support Bonuses (between all 4 rows) are:
General Ranged Aiming +30
Ranged Defense +6
Melee Defense +2
Alertness +10

if I threw those points into Carbineer, I could have:
Counterattack +40
Defense Versus Intimidation +25
Defense Versus Knockdown +15
Ranged Damage Mitigation 2
Carbine Accuracy +5
(with Leg Shot 3 and Burst Shot 2)

or, some other combination.

Current carbineer stats:
0-0-1-0

I don't do *any* pvp at all.

ok, I did the math, and to hold Master Merchant, Master Weaponsmith, the most I could go on Carbineer would be 0-0-3-0, if I dropped all of Ranged Support

you won't be able to hit **edit**. If you have to concentrate on very few combat skills find somwhere that you get defense + accuracy bonuses or find somewhere that has accuracy mods where there is a powerful special(s) in that tree. If you can deal a heafty amount of damage and/or special effects accurately you can get speed sliced weapons and do at least so so. Carbines 0300 would be one possibility, sincethe bleed attackshave posture down with them, making the overall skillset pretty good (posture down bleed and a high damage special) but there are other possibilities but keep at least ranged support 2 to keep those accuracy bonuses as high as possible.


Check melee and ranged, there are some skill trees in there that fit either of the above criteria.

Your best bet is to not even bother with Carbineer.


For PvE, you might be alright on low level stuff with a pet at 1-0-1-0.


For PvP, you need to be 4-4-1-2 before it is worth it.

No PvP, then why worry about these stats?


I tried to be Master Architect and Carbineer with some other skills, it just sucked. Unless you are a BH, Carbineer is not meant to be dabbled at all.
