Hey guys im a wookie ch/carbineer and i've got to say i love my character so far. But the one thing i don't like is not being able to do very much damage with my weapon. Idealy i want to inflict as much damage as possible. Right now it takes me forever to drop one piket while my pet is tanking it. I understand that ch's are suppost to use their pets to help them in battle but it's pretty sad when they are doing more damage then you.


I currently use a laser carbine which was sliced for 25% more damage and im not impressed with it. On average without using any action's it does between 250-300 damage. If i use burst shot or overchargeshot i will hit anywhere from 1,000 to 1,600 dmg. It's very random. I want something of a weapon that's doing alot more then 250-300 damage on average specially when i see guys with flame throwers or lightning cannon's doing over 1k damage on average. Is there are any tips you guys have for me without having to switch weapons? Im currently thinking about going to BH just to get the LC or go up the BH carb tree. But im wondering if that's really worth it? So what are you're thoughts...thanks ahead of time for the ideas.

How far up the skill tree are you? I'm only 1,1,1,1 Carbineer, and 2,1,3,1 Creature Handler. When I do Pickets, I'm hitting for 1500 - 2000 damage / burstshot1 on average. Low damage is around 600 / burstshot1. My Laser Carbine is 30-280 dmg 3.4 delay...that's a small speed slice on a cheap gun. I easily outdamage my GSP when I use specials (the only reason why I can use so many specials is because I hit burstshot 2 times, then Stim C). Otherwise our damage output (no specials) is close to the same.

Right now im not too far up the tree which is why i figured i would ask before i got any farther into it incase i wanted to change professions. Im currently 0-0-3-1 in carb but i qualifiy for either 1-1 to potentially make me a 1-0-3-1 or 0-1-3-1 carb depending on which i picked. And for CH im 2-2-0-0. I like it so far i just want to know how your doing that much damage my laser carb i use is a delay of 3.9 and max damage is 250 i guess i just need to find a better gun? and any advice on how i should go up the carb tree?

Im not having much trouble with the pikets. I still have some CH skills, so I just send the GSP in and get all four pickets on him, bleed them all, AoE poison, and start with spamming the area fullauto attack thats given at novice carbiner. By the time I drop one of the pikets, the rest are nearly dead and tend to fall over in a single shot. GSP rarely loses more than 4 - 5k hitpoints. He does pathetic damage but hes really a great little tank

2144 CM, 0201 Carbiner. Laser carbine by Tenki (Kettemoore), base stats are something like 3.7 80-340 damage sliced, without a powerup. My goal is Master CM, 0302 Carbineer. Giving up CH soon.
