Carbineer Archive

BTW...In case you were wondering, I am still a carbineer...

I am now wondering if we need to demand actionshot changes? My reasoning behind this is that if we can only posture charge every 30 seconds now, one has to use it wisely. I hope you agree with that logic. Unforunately, we cannot use it wisely if it is also attached to our bleed skill as Actionshot1 is. This forces Carbineers to make a choice that other weapons do not have to make...do I bleed and waste my posture change, or do I hold my posture change in reserve and not bleed?

The same can be said of Actionshot2. I am not sure it is useful anymore except in emergency situations. AoE is very dangerous. Without the ability to control mobs ala posture and knockdowns, you really cannot use such skills often.

Personally, I just want my Bleeds to not be held captive by posture changes. I would like ActionShot1 to be a normal action bleed with NO posture change (just like rifle and pistol). Further, I would like ActionShot2 to only hit 1 mob, provide a normal action bleed and do no posture change (just like the rifle and pistol bleeds).

That being said, it is a nerf to us tolose posture change ability from these skills. However, theeffect is still available in suppressionfire1 and 2. I really feel that with the changes to a 30 sec timer, we need to pick 1 use for the skill...posture change or bleed and personally, I'd rather have the bleed.

I am very interested in comments on this and SOJ if you are out there, dude you need to get vocal and start screaming. We are being left behind and nerfed nerfed nerfed while other classes are being improved. You are our channel to the Devs and the class needs you immediately. Even if the only thing you do is to resign in disgust (ala the commando correspondant) so to call attention to our problems you would be doing us a great service.

agreed on the actionshot 2 multiple bleed.

After getting the Nerf crotch bat today that post about pistoleers makes me laugh.

A stronger bleed or bleeding multiple targets at once would be very acceptable alternatives to the posture change for AS2 which is redundant to supression fire. Unless I am missing something AS2 seems to bleed only one of the targets in the AOE as it is.
