Nym's Slug Thrower on a whim. litterally, i was in a shop and the person had like 20 on their vendor, so i just off-handedly picked one up. i had NO intention of ever using it, but it just looked so dang cool. that was tuesday or wednesday

so this morning, i picked the thing up with my Alt character (i had intended on going Master Combat Medic / Master Rifleman with the alt) and noticed i was not certified for it, but there was no '..damage will be greatly reduced.' message. i found out that you DON'T HAVE to be certified to use it, so i started running around just sort of testing it out. well now i am just sort of Carbines IV and i am LOVING the weapon. i was not "Power Gaming". i had a staff meeting for my work today (yes on a SUNDAY :smileysad

and have had some other things to do, yet i am already near the top of the Marksman Carbine tree. this is the fastest i have climbed ANY of the marksman trees, and by far the most fun i have had doing it (love the sound the gun makes)

i have been poking around here in the carbineer forum for the first time ever. i have been reading for about an hour and have some questions for you all if you will.

i know Master Combat Medic / Master Rifleman is the "Uber l33t" PvP profession right now, but i could care less. i RARELY ever PvP i am 99.9% PvE. i was wondering what you all thought of the Master Combat Medic / Master Carbineer combination?

with MCM i can make and throw Action Bs and Cs then AoE Bs and Cs and then add in the carbine specials (though i have QUICKLY learned why the Carbineer moto is "bet i can kill me before you can kill me). with all of the concentraition on ONE pool, i was thinking this could be nearly as effective in PvE as Rifleman/ CM attacks on the mind pool...?

i have mastered Combat Medic before, and i have gotten as far as 3/2/3/2 in Rifleman (though the grind is sooooo long that i could not finish at the time) and i just don't really want to have to go through the slow grind up rifleman again. i am really enjoying carbine at the moment, and even though i am reading a lot about what is broken with the profession, i am encouraged by the Publish 7 updates i have read.

all of that to ask, do you think Master Combat Medic / Master Carbineer is a viable and effective PvE template? or am i barking up the wrong tree?

thank you for your time.

Well, I'm 2-3-1-3 Carbineer and will master Combat Medic as soon as I can get Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wheat för grinding ABEC:s (CM 4-4-2-4, because I've never gotten around to grinding... still waiting for Tolium Gas (or quite possibly Eleton) to spawn so It's not like I could do anything with a master CM anyways)

I did a lot of single shot action C (bought them) and leg-shot for a while... when Poisons still gave Combat XP. IT worked like a charm. Of course, pistoleerand health poisons will work just as fine. Rifleman/CM is mostly because Mind is the über-pool to hit in PvP.

If PvE is your main interest, then carbineer + ch is a lot of fun, anda pet is a huge tactical advantage against npc's.

Personally, I got hooked on carbines after discovering FAS1 when I was working on Master Marksman.

CM is very viable with carbineer, but doctor or CH would be a better choice if you go PVE, CM is great for PVP though.

Can't vouch for Master CM, but I can say that Master CH and some good medic skills aregreat tag team partners for Carbineer if you're mostly doing PVE. Instead of huge groups, you can do 2 player groups and kill off rancors, COA missions, etc.

!i'm 4-4-3-4 in Carb. Pets take the damage, I pick off targets from afar. The medic skills help me heal up HAM (I usually go hunting buffed though) and the pets. Add a mind buff, and hunting is a beautful thing.

If you like PVP though, maybe take up some brawler skills, as CH is pretty much useless in that category

The Nym's Slugthrower is kinda like the Republic Blaster. EVERYONE can use it.
