Carbineer Archive

I'm new to the carbine master class and I thank all of you for the information that I've obtained here to this point.

Since I really didnt make the desicion to specialize in carbineer until recently, I may have missed out on some patch notes or "fixes" for the Carbine Specialist. When reading the tips on AS2 is make no mention of it being a "Cone" effect attack. It specifically says /actionshot2 <target> whereas other shots do note that an area is affected.

My only conclusion is that the current effect is a bug. I've read the post for "current issues" but nobody seemed to note that as a concern. I'm also reading that LS3 is a "cone" effect. Once again, the tip for that shot does not specifically list it as an area effect. I havent started up that line yet, especially since everyone seems to think that it's not worth it over LS2.

Being a small group or solo hunter, AE attacks are more harmful than good most of the time, often drawing in other MOBs around the target, some of which wouldn't have aggroed anyway. This has made hunting with my new and "elite" skills a pain in the arse all too often. I really like carbineer, but I'd love some dev or rep input on the state of these skills.

Despite the bug that lists scattershot as 1pt damage, I've seen it do incredible amounts of damage to a target via the damage indicator over the MOB. To me at this point it's made Carbineer worth taking.

Anybody else have any thoughts on which shots should/shouldn't have cone effects by design, but currently do in game?

Thanks for your input,

Lots of the skills dont work as intetional, but for now using the bugs to our advatedge is our only edge .

But yeah , ActionShot 2 IS an area effect, so you have to becareful unless you want to knockdown multiple mobs. Also the posture change with actionshot2 is probably another bug, but Im not sure. It sure doesnt say it causes a posture change, I thoughtonly Supression Fire 1 and 2 did that, but apparently they dont work well either.

Legshot3 is not an area effect, its just basically LegShot2 with a "3" instead of a "2". It does maybe a little more damage(50ish?) on occasion, but really not enough difference for the 150,000 XP neccesary for it or whatever.

From what I understand you are correct about Scattershot, the spam readout is wrong, and it can do a lot of damage, not sure, Im going for Crippling Shot.
