I just joined the Master ranks of Carbineer, and I for onelove it. When I first started SWG about 3 or so months ago ( yes I am newbie) I started out as a Scout/Marksman. I used the rifles, and I liked them ok, never got into the pistols. Well on one of my visits to the bazaar I picked up a Carbine, CDEF, I wanted to try it. Well I was hooked. I progressed through the carbine tree up to Apprectice Carbineer, and continued to enjoy the class and weapons. The thing that really got me going was the specials you got moving up the toward Master Carbineer. I remember when I got my burstshot1...omg I was estatic. The damage increased and I was in heaven. I thought how could it get better. Well it did and then some, I got the auto's and burstshot2, and was not only hitting the target I was aiming at, but the ones to the left, right, and behind...chargeshot1, knocking down your target, then chargeshot2 and I knocked down a RANCOR. To you all who have had Carbineer for awhile, you might be used to this, but I was laughing my head off, and loving it. I love the Carbine class, and I don't care who says what about it.
This may not interest any of you to read, but of all the negitive things I have read and heard about the Carbine, I love it. hitting a squad of stormtroopers is the best, not hitting just one, but all of them. Carbine is a support class, and I know that. When I am in a group, and I set up in position, I know that I am helping my group out, as I wear down the enemy ( or enemies ) so the mission can be completed. I am not worried about the naysayers, I love the class. Thanks for the help that has been provided through the FAQ and forums. To all my fellow Carbineers, master or not...I say good job and keep going. I am a Master Carbineer/Master Doc, and I found this combination works well for me..thanks again all!

I know what you mean. I'm loving it also. i just made it to novice carbineer. It goes great with creature handler in my opinion. I shout my battle cry and my cats go for the kill. Spamming special attacks while i shoot a few specials now and then. I love it every creature/npc is permanent blinded, stunned, intimidated, dizzy. and then i shoot them in a lower position. I love it. They say that ch and carbineer is weak, but i love it nonetheless. It just gives me a good feeling to walk through a city with a mighty carbine in my hands and 2 pets walking beside me (and sometimes a droid and faction pets if i want an army). oh if we could only equip 2 carbines at once

Carbineer since I started. Mastered it in two weeks, I just couldn't stop grinding. When I was done I said "what's next?" and did BH carbines. When that was done, I dropped master carbineer, got master pistols, and then got master carbines again. Then I started work on my new template, got to drop master carbineer again, then regrind it, then drop again, to what is now only 0404 carbineer and master BH. Every week I regrind part of carbineer so that I can get burst shot 2 for mokk missions (dropping novice brawler).

After being a Swordsman/Fencer defense stacker...I decided to do something 'different'. I had already done Rifles, and hated it because of the lack of variety. I never really like pistols, so I decided to try carbineer. The moment I started I was hooked, and after I mastered it and got bhcarbines, it got even better. The versatility in pve and pvp is amazing, aoe knockdowns and state affects RULE jantas/mokks lol. In pvp, you can put someone on there ass so fast because you have a variety of state effects and kds/posture changes. CARBINEER FOR LIFE

Support is a good role if you can get a decent -1 uses DOT Carbine, even without one it's still great.
Sitting in the back, spamming Full Auto Area 2 brings a smile to my face
