Carbineer Archive
Thread: -Rooted-
Which is funny, since roots and snares is what I thought carbineers would be about when we were more finely defined.
It feels like I don't really know what we are supposed to be any more.
Before the CU we were area specialists. Now we are "Crowd control" with one working area attack.
I had envisioned Carbineers like the class who laid down suppressing fire hindering the oppositions advance while riflemen took down one target after another and pistoleers handled short range defense.
But really, I just haven't got any feeling for the class since the CU.
I know there are still balance issues to be resolved, and I stick with the general purpose and direction of the CU. But it's painfully obvious that the developers didn't really know what to do with carbineers and that it's another of all the professions that should never have been implemented in the original game due to lack of purpose.
I'm still 100% carbineer though. It's just that hindsight is always so painfull.
Is there, BTW, a way to make this crapass post editor to either work in Firefox (can't submit) or not bloody show up as default. So that I can browse the forums with the webbrowser of my choice instead of using IE?
Suppression fire needs to be fixed;
I want ChargeShot2 Ability back - a Area KD was great;
I want a AoE State Shot (like a AoE version of Confusion Shot);

Same problem here.
Go to your Profile, Preferences I think, there you find the "Enable WYSIWYG editor" opption. disable it, and you get your old Firefox editor again, that works.
i have been unable to post in firefox for quite a while, hehe, thanks for the info!
now back on topic, i was also suprised that carbineer ended up -root-less, hopfully once suppressionfire in fixed it will do that

Actually lets just hope Suppression Fire is ADVANCED above Imp Crippling Shot and in a Cone.....won't ROOT but a 30-45 sec SNARE is just as good
I was Pistoleer for a few days and then respecced the Carbineer.
Root is good in a group as a means to Crowd Control, if more than one enemy is coming, to keep some of them out of the fight for 20 seconds.
Its only partially useful for soloing since the cooldown timer on the root shots is higher than the root.
Snare can be used in a group as well to keep a critter longer away so the ranged people can shoot and perhaps kill it before it even comes in range, but its also useful solo, since you can snare again right after it lost the effect.

Actually now that root breaks on any direct damage or dot, carbineer works better with Combat Medic and other ranged professions. I usually KD the mob then snare it, watch it get it's a$$ handed to it as it slowly walks toward my group (3 of us total), untill it dies with 2 shots at our feet.
