It's coming, and theres no stopping it....new carbines + BH carbines + states = domination. It's just a matter of time before ppl realize it. Carbineer isn't bad in pvp at all....i use stock weapons, nothing that is specially made in pvp and I do quite well with BH carbines on my template, even against armored opponents. So get ready for the wave, cuz it's coming, a big huge wave of 13 year old kids ready to spam their "YOU GOT PWND HUK HUK" macroes after they fireknockdown + scattershot2 you.

First, we don't know if the new carbines are for real.
Secondly if they are for real there might not be a stun carbine.
Thirdly we don't have a mind hitting attack.
Chances are slim we'll be FOTM.

DarkShade9, nice pics in your sig, but can't see the 3rd one.
As for Carbineer being FOTM, there's already a thread covering this. We will get new players who are curious about our profession due to the new weapons (should they go live). But in our current state, we will never be FOTM like Riflemen and the other usual suspects.

Oh god I hope not. I liked carbineer being the elite profession. To be good you had to think. Give us a stun weapon and you get rid of the whole thinking thing.

4th most people are idiots and think carbines suck because of an attitude left over from the pre buff era.

But that doesn't mean we can't kick some serious ass like a FOTM. The professions that are FOTM are only so because they are the easiest to succeed in, with a little more smarts and effort carbineer can be just as good or better (especially with some new guns).

States are nice but wont cause this profession to become viable.
Terrible defenses and mediocre damage output are the main problems with carbine.
And the no mind pool attack is another thing
The most combat ready carbine heavy template i could come up with was:
Mcarb, bh0400,fencer4030= carb speed 115, carb acc 190, Counter 105, mdef 71, rdef 111, no state resists worthy of mention, ranged mit3, melee mit 2
Melee templates are far superior (cob macros), so practice kiting.
Hope that helps

carbines suckagainst real PvPers. they will have 90% comp and even when they are flopping you'll damage your gun more than the target. things will change come the armor nerf.whether that will come with combat rebalance or before. give me a guy armorless and unless he's a fencer or he's dead. i just can't seem to hit them even with my 200 or so acc.

WellI just picked up Novice BH and Novice Carb last night and I tell you that I am def a FOTM kind of player. I just dropped my PvE template so I could PvP more. I am not a frontline combatant. My style is more of a "In the Rear with the Beer" crowd control. I figured that Carbs would be my best route. I plan to stay with this temp. I hope to see you guys around on the forums.

Why not give everyone a mind attack and call it the combat balance V1.0
