Carbineer Archive

okay i hear everyone complaining about how much this profession is bugged and sucks

well i decided to take it up along with combat medic, right now im just 0 1 1 2 ( i had tons of combat xp from previous professions), and i'm enjoying it, with full auto single 2 ive done up to 4k damage against a creature, i dont use any pets or anything i dont even have the good attacks yet except charge shot, and im dominating, i went out with a group on dantoonie just now, and everyone was saying wow you are really good, i think this might have a lot to do with my guns though, they are all krayt made

i was very lucky with my dh17 short carbine, it gota 35% damage slice

2.1 speed 119-473 (with no powerup), i use this mostly cuz it has low ham costs, but it doesnt have AP

krayt laser carbine, damage slice, 29%

2.4 speed 56-372 medium AP, i dont use this as much

ee3 carbine, with a 21% damage slice

129-342 3.0, i use this against vulnerable to heat creatures

dxr6 with a 32% speed slice

134-271 2.3 speed (i like this cause of acid damage)

i also usually get buffed before i go out, but i really dont see what people are complaining about, im having a lot of fun with it

The last part is the clincher....try it without buffs.

I think the whole post is ridiculous, weapons like that simply dont exist on my server.

that, and try it without food, krayt guns, and damage slice. i have a laser carbine with a speed slice, and it's not that great (since i play on TC). that gun can kill as fast as my poisons.

i have NO clue how people without medic can survive their carbine O.o

If I wasn't on the way to Doctor, I would've dropped carbines a long time ago.

okay i tried it without buffs now, and again i did just find, i dont know what you people are complaining about, im starting to think this is better than pistoleer, ( i used to be pistoleer so i would know)

Now try it with unuberfied weapons

I agree with both sides. I am slowly dropping pistoleer as I am going up carbineer and I have noticed I have to change my play style. First of all you can't just run in, guns blazing, while not paying attention. Heck with a DX2 pistol I can just stand in the center of a pack of mobs and take them all out without using any specials... I can just watch TV. But with carbine I now have to guage my distance to keep an ideal range so my specials will hit. And when they hit they kill that mob hard.

I don't have very good guns but my tactics have made up for it. I do see a problem with broken skills that do extra unwanted effects or unbalanced HAM costs but I still am going to go up this tree. One thing I do different is that I always group... Why? 1. I am a Squad Leader 2. I play the support role, applying stun/blind/posturechange effects. 3. I have migrated my stats to meet my requirements for both SL and Carbineer which leaves my health bar very low. Where even when I use my pistol I might not survive a direct attack.

Carbineer does not seem like a good profession for soloing, though it can provide a good beatdown for those tough mobs. A group of carbineers can really do a whole lot of damage (with 5 doctors nearby though).

and just a correction:

that gun can kill*me* as fast as my poison can kill *someone else*.

carbineer is doable, but it forces you to be familiar with the profession. you can't just spam specials like some others...

haha its ur fault for having crappy weapons, i got 20 million credits, i only use the best, and the best cost 100k max, so dont criticize me for havinggood weapons, jealous son of a **edit**, and secodnly, every weapon profession requires healing because every special costs some amount of ham, and hmm, i just soloed a krayt, im 1 3 2 3 caribeener now, and a master combat medic, i charge shotted, action shot 1 and 2 and applied a action poison c, hmm im not even master carbeener and i killed the krayt in about 2 mins, canyon krayt, hmm i think u all just suck, cuz this profession actually rox

Not everyone has Combat Medic that can lay poisions that ignore Krayts Heavy Armor and 60% resists, sorry. My attacks end up being cut in half at least twice. Against a, what, 30k HAM(?) Krayt, that impossible for me to solo.

some of the servers, have some incredible stats weapons.

one of our weaponsmith on flurry, her vendor weapon is all krayt range from 700k-4mil, there are 454 damage laser carbine(no powerup, justdamage slice)for sell in there. and 2.4 second flamethrowers.
