Carbineer Archive

I have a laser carbine, I dont really like it, I prefer my DXR6, but this is the thing. I die alot when I use my laser carbine, and Im not sure why.

I know it is not posted anywhere but does it have dmg radius. I have on multiple occasions shot at a creature and have aggroes multiple ones who attack and kill me. Anyone else have this happen?

That's probably because you were fighting "social" creatures... don't blame the laser... or maybe you were using an area effect move.

Are you fighting things with high energy resist?

Laser carbines have a higher HAM penality when using the special moves. If you spam legshot 2 you'll begin to crush your action pool. So aminals target your action pool as their basic attack. Veermonks are good at killing your action pool.

Yeah, we need to know what HAM costs each of your weapons are and what mobs you were fighting. The laser carbine should be your most favored weapon as it does the most damage out of any of the carbines (unless the mob is vulnerable to acid or heat).

well after posting this I read a little, and it seems tha as2 does hit miltiple targets. Thats why I was dying. Thanks guys

I've gotten into plenty of trouble with AS2 cause it hits multiple targets (even though I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to).

But about the dying, it is the HAM costs. Whenever I fight a creature like a rogue falumpaset, by the time I've hit him with AS1 to stop him and use legshot2 to run down his Action pool, I've used so much of my own Action pool that a nuna could walk by and step on my toe and kill me.
