I'm working on Novice Carbineer, and, since I was certified for a few more types recently, I'd like your opinion...


Which carbine: Laser, E11, or DXR6?


My Laser Carbine is about 45 min.-275 max. damage. Should I splurge on one of the other two, or will I be wasting my credits?

Id pick up a nice DXR6 for pvm because its acid damage. Comes in real handy...i dont like lasers to much.

Thanks for the input. Anyone else?



On a side note, about how much would you expect a DXR6 to cost?

as for price it varies greatly from one server to another and even smith to smith. Shop around a bit and find a smith that has the best stats over all. Personaly i dont care about price if its the best i can find within reason. Depending on what your other skills are and play style you might want to have some coustom made.

I can't survive without all three, don't do any serious PvE hunting without the ability to punch through armor and/or resistances. We don't have the damage type selection of pistols, but you should have them all.



BTW, I now carry 9 Carbines

I use 4 carbines regularly. Elite, drx6, ee3, laser. Depends on what you're fighting.

I carry 5 carbines as well, a DXR6, DH17 Short, E11, Laser, and Elite... and they all have their uses...


most of the time I'm using my DH17 due to the high DPS (but it has no AP at all), soI switch to the DXR6 and Laser a great deal for the Acid/AP


although I'm looking into an EE3 now - I just need to find a new weaponsmith since mine just quit...

Just three here: Elite, E11 and DH17


The Elite is a PvP weapon or heavy clean up PvE weapon (High resist/HAM armored targets)
The E11 is my standard duty weapon for PvE. High speed for status, armor piercing for high end MOBs.
The DH17 is a light duty weapon. Per a recommendation from Nova, its a lair buster, although its higher damage and higher rate of fire than the E11 make it a superior unarmored MOB killer.

High end MOB's using an E11???? Don't do that on Dath around 10-20 Rancors of various types, only a DXR6 will keep you alive. AND if I want to use Energy on high end MOB's, who usually have light to medium armor, the Laser is the gun of choice. Min damage may be low, but DPS is way better on light and medium armor targets.

I carry a DXR6, Laser, EE3, and Nym's at all times. EE3 for the fire-weak baddies, DXR6 for its acid and hitting power, Laser for the energy-weak baddies and the AP, and the Nym's for that added flare of using a cool weapon


DXR6 is my default gun I have out most of the time, or I switch to my gaffi stick (being fencer, which is besides the point)

I had a really good sliced DXR6 and Laser, but do to the fast decay and Crackdown, I chose to deposit them and buy new guns. I also have three botched sliced DXR6s, but they both have bad speed slices (was looking for a good damage or a better speed, but got neither)
