I mentioned that on guild chat last night, and they all laughed at me.

I also mentioned I liked pikeman too.

/sigh

It is a fun prof... not even novice and I can dizzy/blind/stun/bleed all mobs... it's great!

I guess your guild isn't very smart *wink*

Theprofession has gotten a lot better (after Publish 7) than many people realize. It has problems, but its problems are many of the same problems that many other classes are experiencing. Further, these problems are not really because of the class but more a result of major imbalances in the combat system.

One thing I can say, I don't think many professions can do NPC missions faster than a carbineer can crank through them. Carbineer is probably the best anti-NPC class (aside from the very high end mobs).

One of the things I like doing is seeing how many states I can put on a mob at once... this is great for it!

Just need ranged intimidate now

LOL

I think Intimidate at 30m is close enough to being Ranged

I am currently working on redoing carbs after the holo grind as a support PvP pprofession. I don't expect to be an uber solo PvPer but add me in the mix with my guild mates and I bet I can turn the tide of a war. The states from carbs are phenominal and add a really good mind DOT weapon and you are the best support character on the field.

PvP = broken.

I'll duel them and cover them with dots then end duel and go afk

PvP != dueling though, heh.

PvP is very much broken, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun as a Carbineer. The best Imperial PvP guild on Starsider never really goes out 'rebel hunting' without 2 Carbineers. Why?

Because why waste precious seconds and have your melee'rs use blinding and stunning hits, even dizzies and KD.. when your Carbineers can do it to a group of people faster than you can, from a safe distance beside your doctors?

Is that Rebel burstrunning away? Not so fast.. buddy. Carbineers on call!

Oddly enough, I tossed the same comment in TeamSpeak and no one objected, heh. Carbineer is damn fun. I love chasing a Combat Medic or Rifleman and KDing their over-zealous butt on the floor. I take great pleasure in FullAutoArea2 when my screen is infested with evil red dots, heh. Can ya blame me?

Carbineer rocks. Anyone who disagrees needs to let go of the "I WIN" button and grow a brain. Simple as that.

I find that as a carbineer I am very useful in a group... as long as the baddies are not on top of me... I was responsible for the great freight train of last saturday night in the squill cave with 12 tagging along by the time I was out of the cave... the others were not pleased, but I had to get out alive in a hurry. Stupid me, I used FAA1 and AS2 in a cave full of squill... the squill were not happy with me either... need to find something a little more suited towards Cone attacks

I wish more groups would organize "no armor" events. Buffs, foods, PSGs, whatever is all legal but no armor. The professions with stun are negated because no one has armor. You can pick cheaters out easily.

Templates that can target mind still have an advantage but atleast all other professions will be able to do significant damage as well.

Yes, carbineer is fun, not the most powerful class but fun when you can stick a dizzy, blind, stun and KD an opponment all in a couple of shots- only a Jedi can put that many states in fewer hits. I like the ability to control the target from this profession.

That is why I totally agree that armor should get a big nerf. Max protection on armor should be ~50%, and only to a few damage types.
