Thread: Laser carbine best for pvp?
Message Edited by battledroid01 on 02-11-2005 11:27 PM
In answer to the question proposed, it really depends on the situation. Against a melee opponent, you can rip them to shreds. Against a ranged opponent... I suggest picking up a nice DXR6, or even the *gasp* elite carbine! I carry both of them with me, and an EE3... and an enhanced E11... And yea, basically you get the idea. Carbines are about thinking, you can't just pick up the "best" weapon and automatically start destroying people. Which is probably why a lot of people hate carbineer.

Why get the full tree then? You can probably cap a 3.8 at90 carbine speed. Fire would know the exact values, but I'm ballparking it. Just so you know though, your title has nothing to do with the content of your post

What is the carbine speed cap
The formula is in the FAQ
And you shouldn't need the entire Speed Tree in Carbineer to cap everything.....+95 Carbine Speed (MBH and 2XXX Carbineer) will Speed Cap an 8.0 Speed Carbine so there is no need for anything more....ever....
Laser is definitely the preferred weapon for PvP based on the relatively low condition of PSG's and the AP2 value.

Ah, but the Anti-Decay Kits work with PSG's.....so don't plan on busting through them all
One of my kits is going in a sweet sliced PSG

And then there's the fact that you can uncrate a LS PSG and have permanent LS resists for the duration of the fight.. ie, until you're done, dead.. or you shuttle out or change server regions.
Crazy stuff, hehe. Poor Jedi.. taking on stackers will be even harder.
