Aren't you just waiting for our turn to be the "Flavor of the Month". Remember when pistoleers were super uber with theirgreat speed and defences. Back then riflemen and carbineers were really just left in the dust, along with every melee profession. And remember the Bounty Hunters and their fire knockdown, that was incredible, you got hit with that and you were basically dead, and don't forget about the BHs Eye Shot craze. Then the commandoes were fixed, and everyone was jumping over there for the uber flamethrowers. Then melee profession fad came, they all got uber defences; TKM, Fencer, and HS skyrocketed, while pikemen were still kinda broke. Finally pikemen got some good DoTs and got their time in the sun. Recently its been the rise of the riflemen, combat medics, fencers,and heavy swordsmen with mind damage, stun damage, or both.

Well my question is, when will the carbineers be the overpowered ones?

There was a day when ChargeShot was really broken. Hitting someone with it meant they didn't get back up. You can find the details in a thread called "The day all carbineers whistled innocently," something like that. So we have been uber, if only for a day

One of the reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire was, lacking the number 0, they had no way to indicate successful return from their C programs.

That one day where they had the extra 75% damage reduction that didn't touch the damage of scattershot was pretty fun.

Heh, you missed it...and it never happened. I really thought that the cone dizzy cone KD combo would have brought more players into the profession, but I was wrong. I think it's because Rifleman had already begun to dominate, and unless they get nerfed somehow, it won't shift to carbineers.

To be honest, I'd rather not be a flavor of the month.

Can you imagine all the kiddie threads that will pop up in broken and moronic chatspeek about "Can ne1 tell me how to pwn with crabins plz?/???"

Pass. Better to be effective than overpowered any Publish of the year.

Once the combat rebalance comes out, and mind is less of an issue, carbineers diversne specials and attack types will become very powerful. Also, armor will probably get nerfed.
