Should I go Carbineer 1-3-2-0 or 0-3-4-0- or 0-4-3-0


If I get assault tactics I will be 1 pt. from speed cap (also have BH carbs).


I know I want cripple shot and I like the idea of intimidate defence from counter insurgency. Would it be good to have all the counterattack that I can get? Does this work? Does it work against Jedi?

#1 get just enough Speed to cap the Carbines you have or will be getting (formula in the FAQ).....more is just wasting Skill Points unless you really desire ScatterShot2 (same damage as CripplingShot but spread amoungst the 3 H/A/M pools)


#2 get as much Accuracy as possible, no matter what


#3 Counterattack isn't going to make much difference even at the Master Carbineer level, so XX4X isn't diddly....discussions in the FAQ


#4 Intimidate Defense isn't worth a darn until you get to at least +75 or even +90


#5 most Ranged Templates don't fair well against a "decent" Jedi.....ever.....

Very true on the Synthsteak point.....but is getting two more boxes in Speed worth it? And ScatterShot1 will break Synthsteak twice as fast whereas SS2 is three times as fast.


BTW, I am not a "papa" yet....but soon

Exponetially speaking 3x as fast is alot for instance...lets look at the least common multiples...



3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33


2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24


Horrible mathmatical example really. but if we were attempting to hit 12 we would do it 2 shots faster...18 3 shots faster...24 four shots faster and so on...It could add up...

Of course ScatterShot2 is the best for getting rid of Synthsteak.....but is it worth the SEVEN Skill Points beyond ScatterShot1.....not in my opinion but then again I have always had Master Carbineer
