Carbineer Archive

I think now that i realize that Carbineers, while looking like a good profession, got screwed by the devs.

I know they are going to fix us sometime, but for now, i can only do pve and not even to my full ability because of all the things i lack.

Man, wish i chosen the Commando profession.. lol, at least their bug works to their advantage.

well, we get all those skill points for a reason, theres no reason you cant be a commando now, it'll just take a bunch of time, so get crackin. theyll balance things out eventually though.

im going for doctor now to counter act our horrible HAMs with enhancers, once i have the ability to buff myself +600 str and quickness ill be able to burstshot everyshot and ill finally be as powerful as a pistoleer, but still at about 1/5th the power of a commando

Possible fixes are on the way for HAM costs. I would suggest doctor buffs for the HAM costs if you have the patience to contact a doctor willing to and if you have cash. I am currently pushing for special fixes and most likely trying to squeeze in some changes to depict our role better.

Well doctor/carabineer here and I can tell you those ham costs are a thing of the past.

Hell I can use special non stop while wearing composite armor...

but still at about 1/5th the power of a commando

But 5 times as fast....use that as an advantage.

i'm a master doctor/carabineer, i can buff myself for over 2000 whenever i want so ham costs are not a problem, after a muon gold...but even before that still not much. Master Doc buffs rock.

10 things wrong with the carbineer class.

1) HAM Costs Suck

2) Elites Suck

3) Legshot 2 Broken/Sucks

4) Legshot 3 Broken/Sucks

5) Actionshot 2 Broken/Sucks

6) Burstshot 2 Broken/Sucks

7) Scattershot 2 Broken/Sucks

8) Chargeshot 2 Broken/Sucks

9) Ranged Defense Plusses Broken/Suck

10) Defenses Toward Knockdown/ALL stat and posture changes in the entire counterinsurgency line Broken/Suck

I restate my previous rant.

Completely and totally inacceptable.

Actually I'd say Elites (at least on Eclipse) have gotten MUCH better and are only a step or two away from going from Good to Great. Certinally not "sucks". Also, LegShot 2 is not half bad...now I admit LegShot 3 needs work badly! Other than that, pretty accurate post.

wow, lets whine a little more.

im a novice pistoleer on corbantis and only have carbine 3 on eclipse.....what was that about pistoleers being more powerful? oh yah, i can do more damage with my sucky dh17 than my dx2, and i only have carbine 3!!!! By having two sepreate characters and being in many proffession i realize 1 thing, everybody whines no matter how powerful they are. WAHHHH WE HAVE HIGH HAM COSTS BUT DO MASSIVE DAMAGE! well duh! of course your gonna have high ham if you do the damage. why do people think pistoleers own? armor destroys the effectiveness of all pistols, carbines have medium pericing. and dont even get me started on tka, i get kited by rebel medic npc on dant imp mission!!! there freakin npcs kitin me! at least you can hit someone as a carbineer and for massive damage at that.

lol, i dont complain about pistoliers, because i dont know about them. and i suggest you do the same. I as a carbiner even with stim bs that have healing power over 200 have killed myself do to HAM costs more times then i could ever rember. our speed and accuracy mods are nowhere near those of the other weapon specialty classes, or BH carbine for that matter. and we dont hit for massive damage. the most i have ever done is just a little over 1500 damage, thats nice, but only happend like twice. most of the times its about half of that.

I for one dont mind pistols as they are, i mean i duel a master pistoleer friend of mine all the time and win every time. and im only at 2,1,1,1 in carbine. so i dunno about that, but our ham costs are crazy, i know some of my moves take almost 200 ham to use. thats nuts.

To whoever was posting things worng, you're really wrong ^_^

1) Entire ASSAULT TACTICS branch is broken and useless. (both scattershots do too little damage and hit all three pools too rarely, wildshots are useless because Stun does absolutely nothing).

2) Counterattack bonus sucks too

3) The **edit** dev's still can't spell Carbineer

4) None of the "dizzy" status affects for carbine specials are working, least not for me, and I even went as far as to spam both full auto single 1 & 2.

Scatter 2/ legshot 2/action shot 2 are not broken and some of those actually rock.
