Carbineer Archive

...and I have to say, it sucks. I'm a Master Carbineer, all our moves are broken, I can't shoot at once per second, and today I playedon my friend's Master Gunfighter account in where I was incapping people in duels left and right JUST WITH STOPPING SHOT.

Pistoleer's don't need nerfed, carbineers need to be made effective.

I think I'm giving up carbineer and switching to Pistoleer.

You can hit the speed cap. It just takes a little work around. I know we should be able to do it with skill alone, but try getting ether a really cool snub sliced for damage or really cool laser sliced for speed. Use power ups to finish out the effect. The snub is nice cause all you need is one good tissue (well thats what my weapon smith friend says).

Just some thoughts,

Lageas

I have to agree, I'm about to hit master and so far:

chargedshot2 doesn't work at all. does not knock down ANYONE EVER.

scattershot2 doesn't seem to cone at all, hits a single target for me.

defenses and speed boost are a joke.

I have never ever ever ever not once counter attacked.

legshot3 does the same damage as legshot2 but costs more.

what's with all the missing, thought we where masters. at +21 5 misses in a row? what?

I really want to like the carbine, but with pistol being so attractive I don't blame anyone for

untraining carbine.

scatter shot 2 isn't a cone and that move owns.

I hit the speed cap at 2.4 seconds and I find Master carbineer is quite effective and poewrful, I own master gunfighters, I own TKM'ms and I've owned mster bounty hunters, its all about pressing your advantage and you can win. We have a vast array of unique special moves and no not all of them are broken, and some are broken in a good way.

Look at all the defenses pistoleers get, compare it to ours.

As you said Avr....

chargedshot2 doesn't work at all. does not knock down ANYONE EVER.
True true, it's broken and I hate it.A waste of 150,000 combat XP.

scattershot2 doesn't seem to cone at all, hits a single target for me.
It isn't supposed to cone, this move is okay in PVE.

defenses and speed boost are a joke.
Got this right

I have never ever ever ever not once counter attacked.
I have a few times and I'm master, I mean **edit**?

legshot3 does the same damage as legshot2 but costs more.
This is so screwed up, why is legshot2 BETTER?

what's with all the missing, thought we where masters. at +21 5 misses in a row? what?
I have yet to have an accuracy problem, I rarely ever miss.

I didn't add this really but the main thing I am disgusted with about carbineer is not that specials don't work properly all the time, but the fact that I am no better now than I was at 1-1-1-2 carbineer.

For PVE, burstshot is all you need. For PVP it depends on your situation but 0-3-2-2 is all you need.

If I knew carbineer will be better I'd stay, but I'm not.

As for now I'm going to start using that 1.8spd 90-372w/powerup FWG5 I've had sitting in my house.

Well Genrader, as you eat your carbine skillsto gain in pistol skills, you can just hand over any sweet carbines you may have laying around to me...

There goes my easy access to free training.

I think carbineer will get some love, considering TH admitted in a post that it needed some help. I'm doin ok in PvE so far with 1/0/1/2, but I totally rely on my buffs to be effective. I went hunting with a high level rifleman guildmate on Endor, and at the end of the night his xp gained was over double mine. I was a former 3/4/4/3 pistoleer, and just the pure speed with krayt fwg5s literally owned everyone without armor. Right now I think its the speed killing the carbine, both rifle and pistol have more than us at master. Pistol has alot of broken moves as well. Carbine HAM costs suck without buffs, the motto is true. Just hold out for a while, with some fixes Carbine could be great.

Hehe Wuurl, I'm not surrendering it all yet, I freed up some skill points so I won't be surrendering carbineer for a while. And when I do I'll surrender slowly.

well, i just hit master carbineer, and if i get lucky, i can kill my BH friend! but only if i'm lucky.

just thank the force burstshot1 is as badass as it is
