Carbineer Archive

Right now I have the option of going up 3 boxes in either marksmanship or counterinsurgency and i was wondering which would be a better choice. Crippling shot is pretty good, but if Burst Shot 2 is just as good i would rather go up the counterinsurg because of the counterattack mods that were added. Also, does accuracy relate only to how often you hit or does it also effect whether or not status changing effects hit, such as dizzy and stun? because if it does id rather have the accuracy since so many professions got defense mods increased. if it only has to do with how often i hit i wouldn't care because i dont miss too much right now anyways

Crippling shot is our most powerful atack but it is slow. So unless you have speed boost from tapes, BH carbine, or are using the snub it can seem less than useful for spaming. It is an awesome finisher though and the first time you see the 7x damage modifier on a laser carbine at close to max you will wet yourself. But for carbineers with no outside speed help using laser carbines its just too slow. Powerups that reduce your speed can help make this worth while as well.

I have experimented with all the different Types of Laser carbines and Shots...

Ive found Burst Shot2 gives out the Most damage with the least HAM...

Way better then action shot2

Crippling Shot is powerfull but it uses up WAY too much ham..

Best Damage ive done with Burst Shot2is a 2500 damage hit with a sliced laser carbine with a powerup..

3.4 speed and min 34 max 320 dam

I can do on average 1500-2000 dam with a laser carb useing it,..

I recently bought a few million cred carbines

dh17(death dealer) Price : $800k

2.2 speed 112-311 damagestock(did 4500 with crippling, 2700-3000 burstshot 2with slice & powerup)

elite carbine Price: $1 mil

3.0 speed 150-368 damage stock(does 3500-4000 with crippling, 1800-2300 with burstshot sliced and powerup much more accurate)

I think that crippling is good with a highpowered dh17but too slow with any other guns, in which case use burstshot 2, elites and lasers just do more damage with burstshot 2.

i just hit a lair last night for 10k damage in 1 cirpple shot =D it scared me and my friend.

Best I've done (on a knocked down target) with my sliced laser60ish-340ish (no powerup) was around 5200 damage with crippling shot. I think that was on a Gurk on Lok. Best I've done with the target standing is around 3000 (usually only seem to hit the mindpool....doh stupid luck).

I usually use burst2 as my main shot to spam and use crippling to hit the target when its knocked down, dizzy, or nearing death. Both are great shots. Be sure to mix in a fullautosingle1 or 2 when possible for the effects and you've got a dead target.

If you need carbine accuracy cripple shot. If you want burst shot, which is almost as good, plus you get the counterattack defense mods, go burst shot.

hmm not sure why no one mention scatter shot, it's in a great line, +speed mod, also it hit 2-3 ham bar at same time. scatter shot 2 I do 5k damage with a 350 damage carbineer with a 453 damage laser carbine I hit for 7k damages, it's extremely fast, and damage output is very consistent. it's useless vs structures, but great vs npc critters.
