Carbineer Archive

Okay the template I'm aiming for is Master Carbineer, Master Creature Handler, with some medic, some Artisan,fourth line of Marksman and the requirements forCh and Carbineer.(I'm more PvE than PvP.)

The question is - once I'm there am I going to be able to Solo Krayt Juveniles? How about Canyon Krayts? The biggest foibles to my mind are going to be dealing damage. Obviously this is only worth attempting fully buffed, with some decent Armour, and hopefully I can get a Kimogala or Bull Rancor to tank with...

But is it a pipedream to take out Krayts? How could I change the template to make it easier?

Funny how you bring this up as I have been in this situation. Although I wasn't solo and it was an ANCIENT Krayt, there is little chance you can deal enough damage for a pet to last on a regular Krayt. A juvenile maybe and it is likely if you can get you pets buffed.

I ran through 5 of my best light armor and 60% kin resist pets on the Ancient Krayt for well over an hour....and there was 6-8 of us there hitting the beast.

There are other options to solo'ing a Krayt and hopefully the Devs change this in the Combat Balance.....even a group of 5 should not be able to take a Canyon or Ancient Krayt IMO.

It may be real easy to solo a lot of things with MCH, I have done tons of stuff, but it shouldn't be that easy.....

Hmmm, I think it should be either impossible for any prof to solo these sorts of creatures, or no profs. If you can solo one with a Master Rifleman, you should be able to with a Master Carbineer. It should be easier to defeat these levels of creatures with mixed groups too. For example it should be beneficial to have a Group consisting of 1 Master Pistoleer, 1 Master Carbineer and 1 Master Rifleman, over than say a group of 3 Riflemen.

Combat Orientated Profs - I am currently:-

Carbineer 2301

CH 1113

Marksman 0044

Medic 1011

So I have a way to go yet, let's hope the combat balance in Publish 10(10?11?) does it's job.

Back before the charge shot nerf, it would take a good 10 minutes to take down a pre-enhanced krayt(somthing like 30k ham)

Once they enhanced them, to the 200-300k they are now, it took almost an hour to do it solo, god that got boring.

Carbines arnt high enough damage to be usefull here, if you want a krayt killer, I think a Rifleman/CM will do it. I'm dont know enough about melee professions to be certain as to which ones would work good, but I think Swordsman could be good against them too.

Fun little game to play while your at work or school

The juvies you could do fine without the pets. The other krayts forget about doing solo as a carbineer.

My 1st profession's were Carbineer/CH, I could tank anything in the game back in the day without buffs. I really think it's sad that a Swordsman can Solo krayts and elders but a guy with a 360 damage gun cannot. Carbineer is probably the coolest and has the most potential in this game. Just an opinion though. If they break my sword in Pub.11, Ill be back in here!
