Was curios is there any way to beat a player with ranged defense that is close to 200 when using carbines? I got a total of 190 carbine accuracy and ideal range modifiers on my carbines that are around +60 but still miss about 80% of my shots while they hammer away at my mind with their rifles. I know the defense stacking will be nerfed somehow with the combat revamp but until then I'd like to know if there is a way to beat them in a 1 vs 1.

There are 3 defense stackers I routinely fight, and I lose most of the time. Here's how I would win on occasion:

I'm (was) 0-4-4-4 Carb, 0-4-3-0 BH. I could land a KD dizzy via BH Confusion Shot/Carb Charge Shot and keep them down. If they weren't buffed I could land Cripple Shots and maybe another Charge if they got up. If they were armored and buffed, I'd have to Eye Shoot them with a Tangle Pistol for stun after they were Dizzy/Kded. I'd also keep spice in my toolbar. Funny thing was, when I actually did win, they were so suprised, like they thought they were immortal.

All that said, we know Charge Shot is not what is was, and thus my success is not the same. So I decided to finish Mastering BH and keep some Carb supplemental skills. One month ago I was a Master Carbineer, but not anymore.

From what I hear, Novice Brawler is effective versus template stackers. If you land an Intimidate on them, it drops their defenses, and halves their damage. That might give you a small window to get in some specials and state effects on them that you otherwise would not. A Master Carbineer as sole offense is not going to beat a template stacker, but if you pick up some supplemental skills, you could make it interesting.

There's not one single way to really beat them, there are a number of things you have to do, all of which have been listed.

You're pretty screwed against a defense stacker unless 1.) You are stacking defenses yourself or 2.) You have the BH carbine line. With that, you get 40-50 more accuracy and the same ammount of speed, so you're shooting twice as fast.

You can get a total of +25 carbine accuracy and +25 carbine accuracy while moving from tapes/attachment... do it.

If you're buffed, Elite with full damage stock and the rest put into range, with one of the new scopes that gives +25 range. Do NOT use this if you aren't buffed, the HAM ends up being just under 100. If you aren't buffed, you'll want an elite with a no HAM scope and hope that your WS could get ideal up to +25.

Accuracy food just got put it, use it.

/aim; /fkd OR if you don't have it...
/aim; /chargeshot1;

Then:

/crippleshot; /crippleshot


Make a macro for /aim; /chargeshot1
