Carbineer Archive

HI,

I just made novice carbineer and have a couple questions for all of you wisened wielders of the carbine.

1. My actionshot2 always fails to change my target's position. I've heard some say it is a bleed shot but i never get that bleed. Will i get it more often as i progress up the tree?

2. Which part of the tree should i master first in order to speed up my process in moving to master?

3. Which skill tapes or bio-clothes are most recommended for making the life of a carbineer easier?

4. What is the average dmg and spd for a laser carbine and an elite.

Well that's all i can think of off the top of my head. Hopefully you all can answer these and any new novices can post here to have their's answered. Thank You all and happy to finally be part of your ranks.

Hey DuelingMaster

1. I'm not sure why your actionshot2 would fail to change your target's position. As2 has worked pretty reliably for me as a panic button to cover my retreat since it has a cone area of effect posture down. However, when I initiate combat, I usually start with actionshot1, then stack as2.

2. There are many schools of thought on this. However, my advice would be to grab the first box of counter-insurgency first for burstshot. It's cheap and does really good damage. Then simultaneouslyproceed up the marksmanship line for cripplingshot, and the specials line for chargeshot1 since the specials line uses the combat xp pool instead of the carbine xp pool.

3. Not sure. clothes and armor decay so fast i don't put much thought into them anymore.

4. I don't buy a pre-sliced laser if it isn't at least 69-200ish with speed at least in the high 3's.Good elites are hard to find but when i do look at them i want a spam gun with low ham cost. low 20's are decent.
