Thread: ham cost's need to be addressed
hi, just started galaxies about 4 weeks ago and i am near master carbiner and master ch but your right about the ham costs i use a kori carbine and my average damage when using it is 3000 action pool but it costs so much to use these weapons its unbelieveable if i fire 3 legshots(3) and 2 legshots (1) i mean u can take down tough beasts fairly quickly but at a cost if there is more than one rancor forget about it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i normally have to keep taking brandy or moun gold whilst healing myself and i dont wear armour !!!!!!!!!!!
I thought everyone was over stating the HAM costs of carbines until i picked one up. In composite chest, legs and a helm (i'm a trando) I used full action auto 1 on a huurton. The Action cost of it was 450. That was half my Action bar gone with one special. Not everyone runs around buffed to the max everytime they log on. If i'm going on a casual hunting trip while waiting for my armor factory run to finish up, I want to be able to kill a critter with specials and not have to worry about 2 specials leaving me with no action. They really need to look at our HAM costs extensively and bring them to a more respectable level.

PS. I'm also a carbineer

Yeah if you can find the new food...everyone on Naboo(Bloodfin) seems to have just Brandy with the occasional crispic.
...and yeah if you aren't a newb and have money for buffs or are like me and just don't like being buff-dependent (which we shouldn't be).
A Carbineer cannot tackle 2 Blue Con'd Mob's without some kind of buffs and/or stims+medic skill. Its pretty sad that my character is a 3333 Carbineer and has all its secondaries maxed with the primaries balanced out to be Action-heavy. 2 Male Kaadus using only ScatterShot2 require a heal between kills when using any carbine I've tried -- that's pretty sad when it only takes 2-3 shots to kill it while standing using a Laser, E11 or Elite Carbine.
This is a completely useless discussion, lets end it here since I can't lock this trash.....

For those that don't know, with the combat revamp the whole system is going to be changedand HAM costs are going to be altered for all combat professions. Therefore, posts complaining of HAM costs and asking for them to be lowered are nothing more than a waste of time.
