Carbineer Archive

I am hitting master marksman in the next couple days and would like to know what I should go for, Pistols or Carbines. By the sounds of it Carbineers are more broken but the potentialfor mounted combat sounds better.

If carbine which weapon has the best bang for the buck? Speed with damage. Thanks guys!

If you can bare with us the carbineer profession will be good. We're almost decent...well not quite but we've seen a few improvements, I'm figuring we'll be fixed all at once like thecommando profession was.

Same problem with me its a hard choice...I was thinking about Bounty Hunter but thats really hard...so I could do both Carbines and Pistols. I've heard a little bit about mounted combat...which Profession will have more of a advantage?

I'd go with pistoleer until carbineer is fixed. Right now, there is no time frame on *any* carbineer fixes, and I doubt it will be anytime soon, so I see no reason to voluntarily join a broken profession, unless you just really like carbines.

We arent worthless, but we arent up to par with other professions unless you are near master doctor, which uses up all your skill points pretty much(master carb/doc).

As a former master pistoleer I would do well in PVE, but in PVP I would find myself losing just about every battle. I wound up losing most of pistoleer for squad leader, only keeping the 3 skills in the tree with bodyshot3, and could only afford 1 skill in the accuracy tree.

I got bored and wanted a change of pace, so I checked out the carbine tree, not only could I get legshot3 in 1 skill, but it was also in the accuracy tree. I would be able to save quite a few points, and be much more accurate. well legshot3 is broken, but I've yet to give up my carbine. I now have 4 in accuracy, 4 in speed, and 2 in accuracy while moving. I gave up some of squad leader to get this.

And the more I play a carbineer the more I like it over pistoleer. I don't get my ass handed to me (as much) The change posture is great, the knockdown is wonderful. And the damage I can inflict seems much better to me. If carbineer gets fixed, it will just be icing on the cake.

I'm never going back to pistols.

I would have to say rifle .With Master Marksman you already have a bit of Carbine and pistol , and while it may be the hardest to Master , rifle with a little bit of the others is a lethal combo

I also believe Carbineer will be fixed all at once just like Commando was, the thing I fear is that they make it bad ass like Commando with the fixes and it becomes the new flavor of the month proffesion....
