Carbineer Archive

Hi all

I've read the sticky thread on specials but I'm afraid I dont really understand what all the figured mean. My skill template only allows me to go as far as novice carbineer, and I dont really know what the difference is between the attacks I have available to me.

Could someone tell me which out of the following is preferable as my default attack and what situations the other are useful in (sorry to sound such a noob). I'm using an E11 and currently dont have any skill tapes etc.

Leg Shot
Rapid Fire
Aimed Shot
Placed shot

appreciate any pointers

I use the basic Ranged Shot as my auto-attack. Now, wait, don't give me that look, Ranged Shot uses almost no action and still does average damage. If you get Improved Leg shot later on, use that, It does almost as much as MBH's Adv Critical shot (except when the shot actually hits a critical, then its not even close).

Well I've tried a few combats using Raid Fire and a few uwing Leg Shot and I cant really see much difference between them (Ranged shot did seem to do alot less damage though :-( )

Legshot is a snare, it will hinder the target's movement. It's a good opening shot then follow up with some damage.

Leg shot is your main damage, as is improved leg shot at X3XX.

Crippling shot in X1XX will give a snaring shot. If you can pick up novice rifle with carbs at low level it is nice because you will get headshot, leg shot, andknee capshot all from those two.

I'd cycle Leg shot with rapid fire if I were you, and aimed shot if you like. The idea is to keep those specials going and perserve some action. Again, I like novice rifle and carbs, head shot/leg shot together with a snare at low CL is nice.

Very wrong, Crippling Shot is the SNARE and LegShot is the damage.

Thanks guys, looks like I'll be sticking with leg shot then
