Thread: Why is there no Stun Damage Carbine?

2 pistols have stun damage, 1 rifle, and no carbines. This is a huge weakness as Stun is the best kind of PvP damage. Also there is a lack of carbine selection comparted to Rifles and Pistols...


With the Geo cave came a new rifle and pistol... but no carbine...

heh...we know this all too well.


and most of us are trying to be patient and do the "wait for the combat revamp" since i don't think every profession should have to rely on a stun weapon to be viable in PVP...but w/ them pushing back the revamp MONTHS w/ no sign of making any balances anytime soon on much of anything...patience w/ combat is wearing thin.


oh well, rifle gets 2 new weapons w/ the corvette, the berserker (rumored to be blast), and a quest rifle that's basically a modified tusken (tho i've heard it's kinetic like the tusken used to be...), so this could give rifle 1 or possibly 2 more damage types and yet more weapons to choose from...funny, huh?

I'm not into PvP much but I do agree we need additional damage types. Tell me how we (Carbineers) can hurt high level Night Sisters otherwise?!? They have 100% resist to both Energy, Heat and Acid. Then we run out of damage types. That's not quite fair. The other professions can deal some damage still butI can just stand there trying to shoot states or KDs, which the Nightsisters resists 99% of the times.


Perhaps we don't need stun but at least give us cold, so we can deal some damage to all monsters in the game.

I would be happy with an AP0 low damage stun weapon, better than nothing. Carbineers should NOT ask for a jawa ion for the profession to avoid FOTM, but instead ask for a reasonable AP0 - lower damage (tangle like) carbine.

I agree, while an ap1 stun carbine would be great I wouldn't mind seeing an ap0. Personally I can't see why riflemen should get an ap1 stun weapon since every other profs that get stun weapons are ap0.
