Thread: Thinking of going Pikeman/Carbineer... Any Takers? :)
yea i been there b4 its a good combo
especailly when b4 the bleed nerd i was able to get a stacked carbine bleed and stacked pole bleed on that action pool
after the nerf it still works surprising as well especially wit the chargeshot then run up wit the pull spinattack2 a couple times= dizzyKD
and now that Carbine is gettin the fixes i defiantly think it will help even more wit Carbine actually gettin its Dizzy to apply now you wil be able to dizzyKD before you get to them to pole them to death.....
mmmm.....
why am i not still a carb and pike 
and yea HAM costs can be a pain especially b4 buffs and foods got so uber but now i dont think it will matter so...
why am i no still a carb and pike
Even with the buffs the price can tough to deal with. I'm scared to death of anything that can put a hefty bleed down. The wrong bleed(s) can devistate a secondary and when it happens mind or action will drop like a rock. Best bet is with the lowest HAM carb you can find. This way if you need to fall back you can still manage to drop a lucky carb special off while you get taken care of. The carb grind imo is worse than the pike in that I can't help but pull the sticks out, heh when I fall back to the carb I just run back and forth rasing my hand like I'm sure. I can't wait to try out the fixed specials, don't think though that being able to target the same pool with 2 weapons is all too handy. It is a great way to put an end to kiting, but I don't end up using the leg shot much.
Tough to grind em both, I've been going on it for quite awhile while my guildmates have bounced through 3 or more different professions. I think it's fun though. You won't be uber in ranged or meele with out supplimental skills but you can put some one on their back in more ways then one.
