I posting this because i feel the HAM costs are just way too high.

I've done a few profs up to now Rifleman, TKA, Commando, CM and swordsman and i can say without a doubt that Carbineer has the highest HAM per unit of damage.

I've only Done Carbineer cos a holo told me to, but i'm stopping the jedi nonsense and i'm wanting to stick with Carbineer because it has potential.

Could you please post here and clarify 2 things 1, HAM cost are being looked at in the Pub 8 combat address and 2, the damage the guns do (or new guns) are being looked at.

Everyone else

Do you agree with my feelings about HAM cost per damage unit ?

Many Thanks

The carbine HAM costs suck but the devs dont really care. They noted that they where too high as well but to change them is too much to ask.

They where raised to prevent KD spamming originaly but that is no longer a valid reason and carbines are still stuck with the nam costs.

On the bright side it is an easy problem to work around(unlike the lack of good AP on pistols) just realize that there is no way to play the game using carbines without buffs and food andyou will be set.

Before patch 6 (food nerf) buffs where optoinal but not anymore as there was no replacement put in for the old BOH/Ryshcate combo to get the secondries high enough that ham costs where very low

now that carbineer is fixed i think you should stop whining. ham costs keeps fast shooting, armor piercing, ranged kd / dizzying carbineers in check. theyre developing a balanced system, ask for the world and sooner or later everyone will be a carbineer and then it'll get nerfed.

imho

hmm 350?

what kind of carbine are you using? thats an auto attack and if you're auto attacking it doesn't cost any ham.

i get like 1500's when i use a dh17

swordsman have ham cost that high - if not higher (specially on the scythe) and the scythe hits for about that much dmg.

Im sure he ment PVP but even so it his own fault for attemting to fire his carbine in PVP without taking the time to get ready for it.

If you want a class that doesnt need any kind of buffs to opperate effectivly and is front loaded nicely for crafters pick up pistoleer

Yes HAM costa are high for carbines but also for many other proffesions, and it's getting fixed (hopefully) in pub8 so no point in coming to the forums all the time and complaining about it, don't see what you hope to achieve with it.

I hunt unbuffed almost all the time. I use rychcate(sp?) and Breath of Heaven or Vesarian Brandy. with my stat set up and those foods/drinks i can spam about 15 or so specials before needing to heal. of course being a CH i rarely have critters taking chunks out of me so im able to use more specials and not worry about getting incapped.and if they do aggro me, i concentrate on that one critter, hit him with my /aim /warningshot macro and he high tails it out of Dodge with me spamming FAS2 at him the whole time. if he makes it back to me (which RARELY happens) i rince/repeat until its a corpse.
