Alistaire

As the title says, I am a doctor looking to take 1 skill tree in Carbineer. Thats all I can afford with my template at the moment. Bearing in mind that damage dealt to me is not a major issue and neither are HAM costs, what is the best skill tree for me to take as far as damage dealt?

-Costik (Tarquinas)
Fencer(1-0-0-1), Pistoleer(3-3-3-3), Smuggler(4-2-1-4)

my opinion would be to go up the speed tree and get scattershot 2, its damage is only a little less than crippleshot, but its ham cost is lower and refire rate isfaster. scatter2 is my favorite special.

unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) scattershot2 does not damage one pool for full damage, rather it takes its damage and spreads it out over all 3 pools. nice when you need a little mind damage, but not great.

But if you ARE going to take only 1 tree, it still would be assault tactics, but use FullAutoSingle2 for damage.

Remember ScatterShot1 and 2 hit random pools and this can be all in one, just not common.

I would go 0-0-1-2 if it was me.

Something to consider...

Without the assault line (4000), you will be slow.

Without the marksman line (0400), you will have extreme trouble hitting. When you do hit, expect lots of dodges, counterattacks, etc.

Without the special abilities line, you will not have a knockdown but then again do you want one?

You need to decide what you want carbines for. One thing I can tell you as I recently dropped carbineer and leveled it again, at 4002,thus no accuracy mods, your knockdown will -miss- so much it is useless. I literally stopped even wasting the HAM trying chargeshot1 until I was 4302 because it missed so often. I think chargeshot1 does not have any accuracy bonus.

Since HAM costs should be no issue for you and chargeshot1 will not hit without marksman, I'd go 0400 and use fullautosingle2 as my main special. You won't havea knockdown, but you will do decent damge with fullauto in addition to stunning and blinding.
