Carbineer Archive

OK, I have to start another thread, the first Publish 7 review was way too negative. Let's look:

Carbineer Specials have been improved:
* The dizzy effect in /fullAutoSingle1, /fullAutoSingle2, /fullAutoArea1 & /fullAutoArea2 have been improved
* /burstShot2 was changed from a single target to an AE cone attack
* /actionShot2 now hits all targets in the area of effect.

OK, first off, ActionShot2, a bleed, which will hit the targeted pool as of publish 7, will have aoe. Presuming it still has a posture down, this is an AOE, Posture Down, targeted pool shot you get at Novice Carbineer. One of the best novice elite skills i know of.

So we have one working posture down area, one someday-it'll-be-there posture down area, one working posture down single and we get dizzy added to single and area shots that already do pretty sweet damage. And we get yet another high damage, secondary effect-ful AOE shot. Anyone remember we can already blind and stun quite regularly? By the time that angry group of whatever-you're-shooting-at gets to you (if they are 4 legged, 2 legged and they're just really screwed) they're going to have multiple state effects including dizzy. For your 2 legged opponents, I just want to ask, anyone out there have an area posture down melee attack?

This is coming when pistoleers, who have nearly as many broken specials, got nothing. Nerfs are flying everywhere, and you know there is a big nerf-scythe heading for the Big Three PvP professions and we're getting boosts. They have, what, two developers working on SWG (everyone is on Space Expansion). They have held off on every god-damn combat-related change (ask a wookiee) until the combat revamp. The poor DEs are getting CL10 attack droids a month + late and we're getting an EARLY combat fix.

*bows down and thanks the devs and Novamarine*

So shape up, put a powerup on your gun and go shoot some stuff, will you? Yes the history of the Devs in this game is bleak but that doesn't mean we have to boo when we finally get some sunshine. Give props where they're due, right?

well area dizzy and PC do sound very sweet.

No kidding. I about shat myself when I heard the dizzy on FAS1/2 was getting fixed! WOOT!

I get Carbine fixes! I get the ability to move furniture UP and DOWN! As minor as the second sounds, I am almost as pleased with that as I am witht he Carbine changes. And better yet, it sounds like there is more coming. I may actually not have to let my subscription expire after all!

what about charge 2

its still sux

Don't be a nay sayer. We're getting a lovea patch (a month or so) before most other classes. Be happy that all our bitching, and Novamarine's broken recording to the Devs paid off, even if only in part.... as if we could expect more.

Thanks Novamarine

Have to agree here things are looking up for carbineer. In fact all of the pub 7 changes are at least interesting.

Nothing on HAM costs though. Perhaps the Devs consider they aren't broken (?).
