Carbineer Archive

Im a pretty new carbineer, and im wondering what folks use most. Ive read what the devs say on what works and what doesnt, but I want other player opinions..

Please let me know.

Thanks

I start with chargeshot, cripple shot, full auto single X2, thenalternate chargeshot-full auto single back and forth.

If solo, I go prone and spam legshot2 for the first 4 free shots. When the mob charges I posture down with actionshot1, then stack actionshot2's bleed. Once the bleeds are applied I legshot until the mob begins charging again. At that time I fire a chargeshot to knock the mob over and legshot some more. By this time most things are dead. But if it isn't I warningshot kite and legshot the mob to save myself some skin and let the bleeds do their job.

When grouped and acting as fire support, I find most attacks hit the health, so I try to put my shots into that pool as well. Fullautosingle2 is the opener of choice to apply stun and blind. From there it's a toss up between burstshot, fullautoareas, chargeshots or legshots depending on the situation.

Cripplingshot does really nice damage (especially if applied to a knockdowned target). But unfortunately I don't have enough carbine speed to make up for it's long delay. As a result burstshot is a better choice for me.

thanks for the info gents

heres what I use in PVP as a master carbineer...

Charge shot

Wild Shot (repeat if stun fails)

Scatter Blast (scatter2)

Repeat charge shot if the opponent has valid skills and stands

/deathblow

lol

get the first box of counterinsurgency first for burstshot1. then race up marksman for cripplingshot. get chargeshot1 in the specials line as soon as you have enough combat xp.

Hmm, if you go prone/kneel and get free shots on creatures, it's usually a very good idea to open up with your bleeds. I'm not sure if it is needed but with maskscent at least, you can then hit peace and wait for the bleeds to kick in. The creature won't attack you until it actually starts to bleed, and using this tactic can also draw out one from a bunch of social creatures, making many high end lairs soloable with little down time.

Depends. Solo PvE with pets I use chargeshot followed by lots of fullareaauto2 to wipe out all the social aggro on my pet. Solo PvP...on the rare occasion I do, I use chargeshot with crippleshot. Group PvP with chargeshot, fullareaauto2, and crippleshot. Nothing funnier than seeing a TKM who has dizzy-KD'ed a friend get KD'ed himself by chargeshot.

chargeshot1, cripplinshot, burstshot1, when i need to kill someones mind off scattershot2, and for states fullautosinge2 or fullautoarea2
i never bleed anyone in PvP, it's useless since they're all medics

/chargeshot1/fireknockdown/crippleshot is the best combo in the game in my opinion, but my 3rd holo said to go master combat medic so Im keeping master carb and going master CM. I think it will be very deadly, I miss medic anyway.

Axik Master carbiner/BH 0400 ( soon to be CM)

This is how I do it and I'm sure I'll get flamed about how this is all wrong (and that's good because I'm learning... so teach me

SOLO:

I start with my krayt laser in the prone at ideal range +5, with cripple shot;

then send in my pet to tank while I close the distance to about 30m;

then macro equip my Krayt DH17 and hit with chargshot;

then, burst2, fullautosingle2, burst2, fullautosingle;

then repeat chargeshot, burst, and fullauto untill desired effect.... (death), all the while healing my pet

I only macro-equip my 75% kinetic Ubese when other social creatures charge in at me instead of my tank. This is my formula for soloing picket plains walkers on dant and Sharnaff bulls on Corellia.

When fighting NPC's I send my dewback in to hit with its dizzy special on the highest level npc, while I hit with chargeshot. This usually takes care of him as once he's down my dewback doesn't let him up again. I then concentrate on the rest. This eliminates the boss from the fight all together.

If you have any suggestions on how I might modify this strategy please post
