Carbineer Archive

My holo said to become a Master Carbineer. I was well on my way to becoming an accomplished Pistoleer with a kick-a$$ FWG5. Now that I have to make a career change, I was wondering if anyone on this forum could help me out.

A couple of questions:

What is the best carbine to use?

Which carbine tree should I complete first? or should I do some of each?

Any other suggestions for a noob coming to this profession?

Firsty... We all /pity and /comfort you in your time of tragedy.

Welcome to the nightmare that is Carbineer.

1) Laser Carbine. Don't bother with anything else. DXR6 is alright, steer well clear of Elites.

2) Speed. Carbines are slow even at master. Speed is your friend.

3) Accuracy. You'll need that too.

4)Burstshot is good, wildshot is ok, scattershot is ok, Chargeshot is good, Crippleshot is good, everything else is broken, if you seriously want to just pass through, pick up at leastBH Carbines 3.

Lastly, make sureyou pray to whatever god it is you believe in, and do it often. You'll need the help.

oh.. I forgot to mention...

HAM

Make sure you have plenty of doctor buffs, food (tatooine sunburn, breath of heaven), drinks and spices and drugs at your disposal.

Carbine specials will chew your ham so fast you'll soon understand the carbineer motto "I betI can kill me before you can kill me". You'll be lucky to get 4 specials off before you have 0 action left.

Once again... I /comfort you... the holo's really do hate you.

Yeah. I got carbineer for my holocron. I'm 525k carbine xp away from master now, and I'm going to drop it without firing a shot. At this level, I can deal some serious damage, but I'm dropping it on the principle of the matter.

I have an EE3, DXR6, and Laser carbines (two Krayts and a normal EE3) all with good slices, for the various damage types. The Laser is great unless they have medium armor and 50% energy resists.

I use BurstShot1 and ChargeShot almost exclusively. I occasionally use ScatterShot2 when one HAM pool gets really low, but that's pretty rare. I got marksmanship 1, then got Counterinsurgency 1 just for BurstShot. I went straight up the marksmanship tree, then up assault, and finally back to counterinsurgency.

I recommend either being a CH, or finding a CH friend who needs xp, and going to Dathomir (mutant and giant baz nitches are good xp), or hunting Sharnaffs on Corellia. Good luck!
