Hey all!
I am no doubt rehashing some issues that are now well known to all of you but are very much new to me having been out of the game for almost 2 months. Are the following points now true for our profession?
1. We no longer have a Special akin to ChargeShot2 which has a multiple target knockdown ability?
2. We no longer land states on our targets?
3. Carbine speed is less important than before due to cooldown timers etc?
I am reading through the docs in this forum as often as I can to get a picture of what it means to be a post-cu carbineer but I am now concerned that our status as 'Crowd Controllers' seems not to have come to pass.....so what are we now?

All very true and if you need to add any new concerns/issues not listed in the STICKY thread feel free to do that.

Well from what I have noticed we ARE still crowd controllers of a sort... if we fight in a group we WILL draw ALL agro to ourselves in no time, thus CONTROLLING the crowd of Mobs into one nice neat area
In all seriousness though, no ranged profession is really "crowd control" because no one has area affect state/movement attacks. At best we have "opponent control" in the form of a snare and KD, but that is really it.
On the plus side, Carbineer is no longer the "weak sister" as far as damage output as we can now dish it out with the best of them and we have defenses to boot
One of my favorite post CU moments was when I was in a group of 3 on Tatooine hunting Krayts and two Jedi tried to steal our kills. After a few fruitless attempts one of them sent me a /tell...
jedi: "are you using carbines?"
me: "yes"
jedi: "damn, nevermind we won't ever kill anything"
That made me feel all warm inside
