Carbineer Archive

i love my carbine. Im a scout/squad leader and out of the marksman tree i only have the carbine.

I like everyone else has learned to live (hopefully not for good) withthe ham costs.

But I wonder if it should be better for me to work up my pistol and/or rifle, cuse i want to go carbineer but all these "bugs" and teh fact that we get way less bonusesmake me wonder if i should go for pistoleer or the rifle spec. I guess my question is for those of u already climbing ranks in carbineer, in retrospect would you have gone another direction or are we all just sticking by it hoping for these fixes?

Be cause to be realistic, im sure many other game details are gonna be addressed before carbineer is looked into.......

Well, as things stand the carbine is probably the least powerful of the 3 basic weapon types. Maybe we get a slight edge over rifles due to Chargeshot.

But see, the devs are in super-nerf mode lately. Pistols are by all indications the next on the chopping block. We on the other hand stand a good chance of being IMPROVED soon with the HAM fix that has been announced. That gives us the honor of being the only class with something positive coming our way.

When the HAM issue is fixed carbines will actualy be pretty powerful. Right now we can't use our power that much due to the insane HAM costs.

See, we Carbineers are actually medic power levelers. We get a DH17 with Mind cost powerups, so our Action and Health pools only get the massive drains... Then we have our personal medic healing us like crazy, for insane medic xp.

We both win (;

Hehe, I'm also a soon to be combat medic in a guild with classes that traget action. We've got 4 carbiners that I regularly gorup with. I'll be a master in a few days.

RE: theclepto

LOL. explains why medics love me so much... i thought it was for my tips. Personally, I'm my own favorite patient, as I do have some admittedly puny medic skills, but fighting and healing myself is a great way to gain experience. I can't wait until they modify our HAM effects. I think it will really make carbineers more level with the other ranged-weapon fighters. It really is frustrating after a long fought battle to get 1/3 the experience that other combatants get. But I think that our collective patience will pay off!
