Hi. I was wondering after all the negative posts I'm seeing if carbines are worth it. I'm a rodian (high, high action/quickness/stamina) and planning to go doctor/carbiner (plan to master them both of course). With these new carbine updates etc, I was wondering if by the time I reach master carbineer, if the whole thing will be worth it. Thanks.

No...Carbineer is definatly NOT worth it. Im 0313 Carbineer and dropping it...asked that same question last week..it just sucks. HAM cost are outrageous, damage sucks unless you get one like i got (w/krayt tissue) 2.3 spd, 100-400 dmg. Even then it sucks because of the HAM cost...and im a doctor! Im now going swordsman....better for PvP...way better for PvE. I would suggest going either Rifleman, TKA, Swordsman, Fencer, BH or Commando. Those are the best combat professions so far. The KD for us sucks, too. If your looking for ranged KD, go up the pistols tree in smuggler. Just a thought.

I don't know how long it will take you to Master Carbineer (it took me seven month of casual playing), but It looks as though it will be worth it. Fullautoarea2 plus Supressionfire2 will effectively keep a group of enemies pinned down for at least 20 sec. And if they actually fix chargeshot2, a group of 2-4 carbineers will be a force to be reckoned with.

I have been a supporter of Carbineer until i worked on Pistoleer. The damage in Pistoleer is so much better I am switching to that. I am tired of doing 4 specials and then having to heal myself so fast. It just is not worth it to me anymore.

I was 3-1-4-2 as a carbineer and was doing better PvE with just pistol IV in marksmen. Obviously Carbineer was better in PvP but not that much better.

Well I'm a rodian (high action/stamina/quickness).. so I dont really notice much about the ham costs except for the health I noticed today. Hmm.

i don't see whats so bad about carbineer, im 0/0/1/1 and i hit consistently for 1-2k damage, i engange the animals prone from 50m and i kill them before they get to me 50% of the time, plus i am a teras kasi master so i can just kneel and tank them while shooting at them, at 3k per creature ive only been doing carbines for 2 days

I am a MCH and Carbineer 2403 atm. I like it alot. I have to agree with the new patch coming out, it will be much better. Most of our specials do not work properly. ChargeShot was awesome till they put a timer on it, but, it needed one. The area shots are pretty good too. I find it an all around class. I might not be able to solo Krayts, or NightSister elders, but, I can solo damn near anything else in this game (until bad agro gets me, or I make a stupid mistake.)
It is a challenge at times, and if you learn your proffession and get a good combo class, it might be for you. I have ubber pets and I use and the best armor and guns money can buy. I am satisfied ATM until they make a stupid change that drastically effects my game play.

I'm a Master Squad LEader/2322 Carbineer, and loving it. It's not the usual spam-heavy-special class (at least not for me). All the different status effects and such make it a little more strategic.
Plus with the Publish 7 changes, looks like we'll be on top for a little while.

Even though not everything about the carbine is great, I enjoy it quite a bit. To each his own, i suppose.
