Carbineer Archive

I think scout due to the terrain navigation.

I switch my remaining points around on atleast a daily basis if not many times a day.

It is only 1000 credits to change so I go with what is needed:

artisan 0001 when i need a resource.

scout 0010 when i am killing for avian or herb meat

scout 1000 when I need to move better (common hunting setup)

entertainer 0001 if the group needs someone along to heal minds

Master Doc/Master Carb is an incredibly flexible build!

*wish I could edit*

This is for FAQ discussion

I keep doing the same as Nova

And even though i havent made master doc yet (too lazy to grind ) i have allready noticed a nice increase in my abilities to solo (i usually solo anyway)....

I highly recomend Doc/Carb combo for solo/explorer type players

My advice to the Doctor/Carbineer:

Get a fews Droids with storage comparments. You'll want at least one with a food & chemical crafting station and another with a medical unit for buffing. I have a spare one I can take in to combat with me, that I dont have to worry if it gets destroyed, again.

My crates of spare items go in the storage droids. Freeing my inventory. I can always pull out the droid and grab what I need.

My crafting resources & tools are in a backpack in my house near my factories. (Virtually anything worth making needs factory components). I have had to make things in the field from time to time, but now find it far more covenient to seperate that from my adventuring.

As you can self buff I strongly recommend you prioritise mind stats, especially focus.
As a carbiner you can spam specials if your strenth/quickness/focus are over 1500. Buffs, Brandy + Canape let you achieve this. Keen a Muon Gold handy for mind heal emergencies.

For buffing, get yourself BE Clothing (+25 Wound Treatment) and if possible use the Bivoli food.

Bind a macro to a key so that you can "/peace; /healdamage self". Preferably using a powerful Stim-E.

In group PvP, you probably arent going to get the deathblow. You are likely to get the stun, dizzy or KD. (/wildwhot2, /fullautoarea2, /chargeshot2). When you die, it's probably a mind incap that got you, or KD+Dizzy

+25 Carbine Speed from Skill tapes really does make an amazing huge mindblowing -wow- of a difference.

thanks... I guess I kind of assumed that a Master Doc would have the BE Clothing/Droid/Bivoli route covered...

as for a storage droid, thats a great idea... I'll pick one up in game this week!!

I'll add these to my FAQ entry and re-post it next week sometime

rez paks can be experimented down to the novice doc level however the command to use the rez paks (/reviveplayer) doesn't come until wound treatment 4 so you have to be at least 0-4-0-0 to use them.

Hi... I'm newer to carbines but I've been a doc for quite awhile. So since someone else started this guide, I thought I'd add a few points....

(1) If you dont' have a lot of time to craft, don't bother.

• Most of the time in crafting is spent trying to find resources.....and can be quite time consuming even if you aren't picky about your ingredients.....


• if your server has good med stores thenyou mighthave more fun just doing missions for cash and buying the products or some products....


• If you can make it to 4440 doc, or 0440 doc youll have a few more points to possibly pick up more combat and you will be able to buff almost as well (25% less) than a masterand your heals will be fast and furiious... The main difference between the two is whether you want to heal poison or disease. In PVP its probably essential...and its useful in PVE too.

(2) Getas many droids as you can... you'll need the space. Here are the things I suggest you always try to have (besides your carbines of course):

• buff kits,


• stim d or e (I prefer to heal early and often, so I use D's, and often can share those with people who have Pharm IV) plus they're cheaper to make )


• dizzy cures,


• rez kits,


• droid batteries,


• advanced wound pack B' or C's for health/action. To be honnest, its kind of rare someone gets so wounded you need something bigger and the lower ones are easier to find b/c novice med can use b's.


• poison and disase cures (if you pvp then get the highest c level pack, otherwise the lower level ones usually do the trick)

The following are nice but you don't use quite so often: the other state cures (blind, stun intimidate), other secondary stat cures. bivoli.,...its expensive to get and only adds about 200 pts at most when applying buffs. I dont' PVP alot so I can't say whether the fireblanket is of any use...but no natural critters cept maybe the geo cave one have fire attacks. The reason I dont' generally cure these other states is that most people can survive being hit with them, and Im usually conserving mind (esp b/c those states get inflincted so fast esp if your enemy is a carbineer ). Dizzy with KD is death, so you kind of have to cure that immediately.

(3) Learn how to keep track of your group. Obviously, watch the bars on the screen, but finding people to heal on the field can be harder. If youhit control + the number the person is inthe group list you should be targetting them and gettheir name highlighted with a blue arrow to help you find them. If they're down, use /drag to pull them to you....often itsa melee person next to something you don't want to go near. Unfortunatley, carbine's don't give much melee defense, so if you have to heal someone next to something using melee moves, go for a quick run in and heal at the edge of your 5m range....or have people run back to you (if they're up or if you couldn't KD it first ). Now the weirdest thing with healing is that it heals your current target..whatever that is. So when you heal someone, you have to stay targetted on them til its done....then switch back and throw more specials in your cue.

Switching your remaining points is a good suggestion....in fact, If you were 0440 doc with master carbine you could probably also toggle with some combat medic (you'll need the ranged support line in addition to the master medic)....just something to think about.

I'm master carb and 4/4/4/2 doc...I know i don't have enough points leftover to spread around, is it worth getting Marksmen Ranged Support at all?
