Carbineer Archive

Why is it that my health takes a nose dive everytime i burst shot with my Elite & Laser Carbines? It's like I'm getting hit even though I'm not. Can the pros of this profession give me advice on what to do here? I'm ready to give up.

They are called HAM costs because they take some Health, Action, and Mind.

Carbines take mostly Action, of course, but your Health is also dropping as a result of A) the weapon you are using and B) the special you are using.

Yes action is affected the most but health will be right behind that. The best way to battle HAM costs is a drink called Tatooine Sunburn. Best little shake for bringing the HAM costs down to a minimum. Try it and you will see what I am talking about.

Lets also not forget that the current HAM costs for carbines are insane, and that's why you're noticing it. If you really want to be a carbineer, go master doc at the same time and buff yourself always before going into battle... nice 2 hours 1000-2000 points buffs really help.

I was silly for dropping doc before mastering carbineer... now I can hardly get any carbine xp at all... the things that should con yellow to me (womp rats, sycks, spice fiends) con blue because my skill level presumes i can kill them easily when in fact i nearly die taking on just 1. If I am buffed I can go on using crippleshot, burstshot1, actionshot2/legshot and FAS2 without a problem.

Silly me.
