So I'm finally breaking down and using my ADK on one of my carbines, I'm just worried that the best carbine I've ever seen on Sunrunner will die after the next repair that I don't want to use it for fear of losing it. I'm going to use it and hope for 2 things: a. they don't change the weapons so much after the Curb that I need to destroy it, and b. that they will warn us if they decide to make the ADK permanent on the weapon it's currently on. I'd just hate for my ADK to end up on a weapon that becomes useless after the Curb in case they can't be pulled off, that's my big fear.
Anyway, here are my 2 carbines that I'm dabating using it on.
--Krayt Laser Carbine
Damage 68-341
Speed 1.9
HAM 30/46/23
The problem I have with this one is the speed slice it got, I've since gotten some tapes that make me cap with a carbine that's much slower than this, and if I should ever dabble in BH again this would be a much less useful carbine than adamage sliced edition.
--DOT Laser Carbine
Damage 22-410
Speed 3.0
HAM 17/42/7
--Health Poison
Strength 238
Duration 82s
Potency 49%
Uses 5408
Obviously this ISN'T a top PVP carbine with the minimum damage, butif Mitigation goes away it'd be decent. Then I'm concerned if DOT's go away after the Curb this wouldn't be great. Then I have a question, does the ADK also stop DOT's from being used up?
So it comes down to which carbine to put the ADK on?

No doubt in my mind, the first (damage) Carbine.
That dot has reasonably good potency which means you should use it as a DoT-only carbine and not a damaging one, even if the max dmg. is slightly higher.
Plop the ADK on your 1.9 speed Krayt one, and should you ever get a better one (that's not speed-sliced), just destroy it to get your ADK back. It might be wise to simply look at getting standard Laser Carbines (stocked or unstocked, depending on how many speed SEAs you have) and getting them all sliced. You might end up with a better Carbine than the one you are currently using.

I agree with Addy on this one.
And what Carbine is the best ever on your server? Neither of these are great, they are just average.....but the ADK is unlimited use so when you get a better Laser, which should be easy, just destroy and re-use the ADK.
And no the ADK doesn't stop the DoT from being used up.

The Krayt is the best I've seen. The previous I was using was made by Fatal 1, givento me by one of the top 5 carbineers on the server,but with the speed slice I got on this one it's 33% better DPS than the Fatal1. It even beats out the ones I got made afterward byone of theFS crafters on Sunrunner. I'm not saying it's the best Carbine ever on the server, because I haven't seen them all by any stretch of the imagination, nor am I a loot whore/krayt stalker, but I have been a Carbineer since launch.

No the charge will still go down even with ADK..... If this weapon is only for the DOT, no point in using the ADK.
