Pistoleer Archive

Hmm, I guess the only thing I know for sure now is that I want to be either a doc or a CM. Don't know about pistol as my weapon of choice unless the patch has anything promising. Carbineers talk about their ham costs but I betting a Doc/Carbineer might be rock...what do you guys think?

Your absolutey right, if you have doctor skills you can keep your HAM up and just spam KD. So the title for your profession hybrid should be:

"If I can knock it down, its dead."

they are adding a 20-30 second delay on all posture and knockdown attacks. That will render healing a carboneer useless. They cannot spam knockdowns now.

I'm aware of the proposed delay but was referring to the other attack HAM costs. So say KD, DS, DS, heal, DS, DS, DS or whatever the best damage shot is...pitty rifle will be next then carbineer so whats the point ha.

I believe what CeranRuul and Auto meant was that the HAM costs on carbine are so extreme that it is EXTREMELY easy to just spam knockdown and end up with someone dead... namely yourself.

Honestly though

BH Pistol can target Mind damage

Rifle Can target Mind damage

Carbine CAN NOT target mind damage

That is huge. Also you have to stand to use the carbineer knockdown (which means you can be dizzy/posture-down and you'll fall, and it means you are an easy target).

the HAM use is the biggest issue, I shoot a leg-shot two with no armor and 400 quickness and it sucks something like 98 action. I can imagine what it would cost to use something like Crippleshot, heh.

Oh, and Doc/Carbineers aren't that great because you can't heal mind damage, and you can't damage mind damage... which means that you will loose to a lot of different combonations of other players. Doc/Carbineer is pretty good for Pve though.
