Carbineer Archive

My mission level is currently 15, but if I want to be able to finish any missions I am going to have to surrender skills cause carbineers are so weak! Our ham costs are pathetic andour ultimate weapon is a toy pop gun! It is getting so bad that as I advance up through the skill tree the missions are getting to the point where I can't even complete missions that are not lvl 5! Am I the only one feeling this?

Yeah, as I hit Level 15 NPC Rebel missions with two white cons, I am nearly dead after one guy. Then I've got one or two more white cons. They're doable now that I'm a medic. But I shouldn't have to be a medic.

Since the latest patch I can only get level 20 missions now which i cannot complete on my own!

It seems the developers want everyone to become creaturehandlers in order to complete any missions

I can't even get on kill on the level 21 missions.

I'd like to know what skills you guys have because ever since the patch I've been taking the difficulty 25 Missions with no probs. Might wanna invest in Threaten shot or start up the counter-attack mod line in carbineer, I've noticed that that skill swas actually working today and saved my butt twice in one fight...

am i the only carbineer who runs around with full doctor buffs? totally wipes out ham costs when you do..

I can do level 16 - 17 missions unless I get 2 or more creatures on me. I don't know what tactics you guys use to do missions but I find going prone at 50m or more with a laser carbine and using both action bleeds (if possible) and then spamming legshot 2 or 3. Pronehelps alot since the target doesn't attack straight away like they do if you are standing but you have to watch out for his friends.

Hehe I'm a master doctor / carbineer. So I came to these forums and saw all these whines about HAM costs and said ... "HUH?".

I became a Doctor to buy my Fencer, so I know what you're saying...however, I think there's something wrong when you have combat classes that HAS to have Doctor buffs to even remotely work property (like Fencer, Pikeman, Carbineer). People have different character ideas in mind, and some of them may not include any room for medic skills. Having Medic/Doctor skills should be something that enchances your character (no pun intended) if you are a combat class, they should not be what defines you. Once the aforementioned classes are fixed, there won't be a need for nearly every Fencer, Pikeman or Carbineer to be a medic to compete unless that's the kind of character they want to play. And that's the way it should be.

Ugh...buy should've been buff...it's early

The really cool thing about being a master doctor is that you don't even need a full buff, quickness and strength do just fine, maybe health and action, but all I need to do is quickness and strength and I'm set for some combat.
