Carbineer Archive

i really like the proffession, and it's the only one i've had fun with.. but it's impossible to go big-game hunting with friends because we only have heat, energy and acid weapons.

if i don't see a new carb by publish 8.. i think i'm going to cancel my account. was my last ray of hope for the game and, while it is very fun, it's not very practical.

well not many other professions have new weapons either, none of the melee classes except swordsman and their scythe has a new weapon.

Carbineer has 3 damage types which is fairly good, the weapons are pretty good, but the skills is what lacks with carbineer, not the weapons.

Hehe want something bad? Try taking on everyone in PVP as a TKA when they wear 80% Kinetic, and TKA has only one weapon, which is kinetic

A Carbineer fights with his MIND......and that is the most powerful weapon in the game. Although a few more damage types to keep us in balance with the other ranged professions would be nice

If TKA gets one more boost, they will definitely be ducking the Nerf Bat.....

And you might as well close your account today, there is nothing coming in the near future (Publish 8).

i do use my head. i realize i have, and use, my specials. can i take on more than two people at once, though? eh, maybe, if they're coming from the same direction and chargeshot2 sticks on them both. it takes too long to whittle down the ham of a single player, let alone two, because of the weaponry options we have.

scythe, dxr6-b, energy lance, berserker, lithitanium, geonosian pistol. fencers have the option to put acklay bones in weapons and increase the MINIMUM damage by a vast amount, which is a HUGE advantage for pvp. there's a new 2h weapon coming and a new tka weapon coming, along with another pistol.

Yeah, if Carbineers were to receive a new schematic, I'd hope it were a stun damage carbine.

If we get a stun weapon we will be nerfed by the next publish. If we do get it we will be the newest FOTM. Personally I like being a Carbineer. There aren't very many of us and the ones that stick with it are smarter than average players because we have learned how to play our class. There won't be much thought in PvP anymore just Dizzy/KD Crippleshot Crippleshot Crippleshot DB. Sounds too much like a TKM to me. Don't get me wrong if I get one you can bet your life on the fact I will have it Krayted and be laying waste to hordes in PvP and I won't complain one bit, but the ones I am killing will. And with all the "kids" that will instantly jump to this profession as acommunity we won't be any better than TKM or Rifleman. Besides if you really think about it giving us a Stun Carbine would be like combining the Dizzy/KD of TKM with the damage of Rifleman. If that isn't asking for a nerf I don't know what is.

This is what I would love to see -

1. I would love to see another AP2 weapon, the Elite being moved to AP2 would be my favorite, but I could handle a new damage type AP2 weapon.

2. I would also like to see the EE3 fixed. I know that it is heat damage but if the splash damage worked with AOE we would rock in PvP against groups. If you put 3 guys within a 5m of each other, I thinkthe EE3 has a 5mAOE, you use FAA2 and hit 1 for 200 damage you just hit all of them for 200 damage. So with 3 in that tight of a circle you just hit for around 600 damage. This will force people to spread out in PvP instead of running in a nice tight group. We would be the CM of the ranged professions, just not as bad because we are easily resisted. With the speed on the EE3 it wont be too hard to hit at the cap either.

Just my thoughts though. I amhappy playing the profession. Every kill makes me smile.
