Carbineer Archive

I am currently a master ch with some pistoleer and dirty fighting 4 in smuggler.

I was thinking about switching to carbine but I'm not sure about a few things.

Like the title says I was wondering if one knockdown was better than the other. My preferred combo now is low blow followed by panic shot which keeps them down for 10 seconds. However, I have been knocked down by a carbineer that dizzied me afterwards.

With knockdowns in general, I am finding that TKA's are very difficult to knockdown which is fair.

Basically, I want to knock them down and kill them in PvP before they can get up. However, I do lead a large guild on hunts every day and I do want to be as effective as possible in PvE.

Any suggestions?

My fellow Gorath bretheren. Stick with the Pistoleer / Smuggler combo. The knockdown for Carbineer works, but the dizzy wasn't from a Carbineer special. That sounds like Confusion Shot, a BH carbine special. Regular Carbineer status attacks are broken except for blind. A Carbineer dizzy (Full Auto Single 1 & 2) stays on for a second or less, and come off. Stun is supposed to make the player drop a combat turn and shoot slower, but doesn't. The knockdown follow-up for Carbineers is usually Cripple Shot. HAM is horrendous. Remember when the Commando weapons were broken? That's us now.

the carbineer class doesn't have a single unbugged dizzy inflicting special. This was a bounty hunter special named fireknockdown.

Fire Knockdown dizzies? i just thought it set you on fire.......and knocked you down.

I swear to God I've had the dizzy stick on two occassions. I even asked the guy "why didnt you get up?" His reply "too dizzy"

That Low blow-Panicshot thing doesnt work for me. My Guildmate tried it on me, and I was able to stand up up everytime with no delay.
