Has anyone noticed the explosion in the numbers of carbineers? Three months ago there were like five carbineers total on Valcyn. Now they're all over the place. Is it the holos? The proliferation of buffing? Chargeshot?

Anyone else notice this?

Not really, but there are so many Rifleman running around now its ridiculous, its the most dps for ranged and an idiot could play the class as it is now. Kudos to the first rifleman though and not the bandwagoners.

I picked to specialize in the carbine the day of launch...

My reason? I am a short little Bothan and I thought a rifle would look to big on my toon...

I suffered also since day one, being forced to take medic because my Carbine would knok 3/4 of my HAM down by the end of a fight.

And I wouldn't even get touched by the enemy!

My chef/pistoleer friend would ask me.."We were shooting durni's! what the hell hit you!?" I would explain to him how f'ed up Carbines were.

Weaponsmiths were forced to add stocks to Carbines, and that would raise the HAM costs...

I used to watch a CHEF pistol whip Tortor Bulls! while I stood back dying from my freaking gun!

So! Now! We have ONE FREAKING SPECIAL that actually rocks! and everyone wants it to go away.

We also have 50% of our specials that dont work at all or are redundant!

Let us have ONE freakin special untill they fix the broken ones!

Anyway, it's the BH Carbineers that are attracting all the attention with the cahrge shot dizzy combo..

So yes, there are more Carbineers, but I think it's a lot of BH Carbineers too.

We will see in the next publish how this profession goes...

We have definitely seen a lot more Carbineers over on Kauri. I am guessing a lot of that is HoloGrinders, but I am not sure about that, as two of them who have asked for training ended up also wanting BH Carbine skills - you have to REALLY want to be a Carbineer if you do Bounty Hunter just for the Carbine Accuracy!

Yeah, it's both speed and accuracy. Although confusion shot is also a nice bonus.

When I started my sedcondary account for PvP,a Carbineer on Naritus was a rare thing, so I picked it as my profession to pair with CM as I tend to favor the less appreciated classes. However in the last few days I have seen a great amount of Carbineers. Wierd. Profession crazes - even small ones- seem to go in phases... last month it was Swordsmanon my server and before that it was Commando. Now everyone is CM and Rifleman with an increased amount of Carbineers... makes me wonder what the next craze will be.
