Carbineer Archive

I'm thinking of using my last few skill points to up my carbine skills and get crippling shot. So my question to you is how is crippling shot? Does it do better dmg with a laser carbine as compared to a DH17 or does the low HAM and speed of the DH overrule the DMG of the laser?

Thanks and keep fighting the good fight Carbineers...hopefully they'll give you all some love sooner than later.

Do not listen to the previous response.

Crippleshot is awesome...if you have BH speed...which theoriginal posterhas. It'sslow speedis cancelled out by the extreme speed that BH carbine provides.

However, cripplshot is not the best skill to use in terms of DOT if you do not have enough speed. It will still be the most damaging special, but you will fire it slow. In those cases, most people like burst1 or scatter2. Fullautosingle2 is a nice skill but uses WAY too much HAM. I think it uses the most HAM of any of my shots...definately not somthing you want to spam.

Personally, I would go for ScatterShot 2.

I know Cripple can hit big, but I've noticed that Scatter can hit for just as much, as well as damage multiple pools. I've seen Scatter hits that hit one pool for 3000+ with a laser carb, as well as damage the other two pools for 400+. It's just a crazy shot.

Go for cripple shot. Following fireknockdown with cripple shot is just brutal. I have hit for 1k (960 to be exact) in PvP following cripple with a KD.

As for the DH17 snub. I am of the opinion that the AP of a laser carbine more then makes up for its low hits and the 0 AP of a DH17 snub. Granted, you may find soft targets, and using a DH17 snub may be a bit more efficient. I just seems to me, however, that the higher level MOBs and well prepared players usually have some sort of armor rating. In that respect, the DH17 just loses out.

Best of luck,

With BH carbine 4 you can spam crippling shot once per second. Also since it's 3rd box in carbineer marksmanship you get great accuracy to boot.

Yes it is a draining move, however if I consume 2 ryshcates and 1 breath of heaven it costs me -31 points when I'm wearing full armor. Food buffs are good for carbineers: know this.

It's a 7 times damage modifier that hits random pools. With my laser carbine I have incapped players in one-shot. It's almost as good as advanced strafe that rifleman have. It's basically the carbine version of stopping shot.

My laser carbine mind damage is 100, max damage is 500, average 300. PvP formula on unarmored target is this: (300 * 7)1.5 / 4 = 788 for your average shot in PvP or 1313 for your maximum power shot, or a measly 262 for your lowestshot roll.

So basically if you're a BH crippling shot is a pretty good shot when you figure you can spam it once per second like pistoleers do stopping shot.

My laser carbine is damage sliced and always has powerup, if you're wondering why it's that high. But even then it's not krayt, there are even more powerful ones out there.
