I tried carbineer because i thought it would be a cool profession with charge shot being able to kd almost anything... but now that it's gone should i continue to master?

master will make life much better for you.

now...is it worth it? i think so.

compared to other professions? not in the least...not if you wanna be able to get anywhere near the effectiveness of a rifleman/tkm/cm, even some of the other melee'ers or pistoleer/smugglers now w/ the nice new genosian blaster for pvp.

i enjoy the profession, and i'm far too stubborn to move on...but if you don't enjoy it, i wouldn't suggestion carbineer on anyone.

Mastering is what makes it worth it. At your levels I can see why you might not like it , your speed is really slow still. Even at master we could use a slight speed boost but with the rght weapons you do jsut fine. In the next patch we are FINALLY getting some dev attention , so this patch will make or break the profession.


BTW, I really need to get a screenshot and post it here and show off my new elite carbine made with a formfitting stock: 2.9 speed, 163-263 damage, with a scope experimented for low ham cost . gotta be the best looking gun in the game. Now im talking guildmates into running the theme park so I can buy the stocks from them.

ChargeShot1 is not gone, in fact I like it better for grouping now that the 5 sec KD timer is fixed. Of course it sucks for solo hunting, but hey is was out of balance.


It is a shame you didn't get Speed sooner, that is THE KEY to Carbineer.

I don't know if its my server, but i ran a test the other day. Out of 200 creatures voritors and dantari/mokks from dantooine i knocked down only one. As a master carbineer i thought this was a finer point a side from the posture change that was nerfed as well. So if it works on your server how often cause i have got to be doing something wrong.



As for the question. Yes carbine is a hell of alot better at master. Your speed is about the same as 1.2 weapon i believe or so it seems to be that fast, but if your looking to use any specials other than crippling shot i'de wait to see if the class ever gets fixed.

Scattershot2? FullAutoArea2? FullAutoSingle2? Chargeshot1? I think half the people who don't like this proffession simply don't like pushing other buttons, we are not Rifleman we cannot simply spam Advanced Headshot until everything dead, get over it. Cripleshot is not our only useful skill, as a skill FAS2, has a higher DPS, possibly the reason you seem to think it sucks is because of a high reload mod and a low speed? Granted a 7.5x damage multiplier is good, if it is gonna slow you down its not really gonna help. Also the damage mult for Scattershot2 is around 7x, it is almost as damaging as Crippleshot, plus in PvP i find that easily ever other shot lands to hits on the mind pool for 400+, granted it is no Advanced Headshot, but is still nice, i have alow damageweapons, andi manage to use that skill to great effect. Also we have an AoE Stun and Blind, in a month or two we will adding dizzy not to our list available states we can aply but to the list of states we can apply with ONE skill. Go out and learn how to use your proffession and quit whinning. Or better yet i'll speak your language, keep carbineer until our Aoe KD and Dizzy get fixed, and then you can be king of the flavour of themonthers with broken skills bound for the nerf bat......
