Thread: Who uses an E5 carbine?

I'm a M.Carb, M.SL, and I love my E5. It is Krayt Enhanced, and has a base DPS of about 351. Think with it Pup'd I do about 580 modified DPS. It's ADK'd so I just kill kill kill.
Also have a Gorax Enhanced Intimidator Pistol that is slighty lower, but still amazing. If I were a Pistoleer, I'd being doing more damage. This is also ADK'd so I just swap back and forth between Int. and E5.
I think SL has some pretty cool, and usefull weapons now.
Tchotee (???) pistol is ok, but doesn't compare to the Int. Pistol
Dawnsorrow rifle, no comment, don't have 1 yet.
Erm funny, Im on Bria and have the exact same base dpse5 carbine (max dmg 1053, also a MSL Master Carb).
And I agree its awesome
Did Flossi craft yours as well? Mine has a SAC of 94.
On my Squad Leader / Carbineer I use several weapons depending on the situation.
My hard hitters are my E5 with 1108 max damage, and my Intimidator Pistol with 925 max damage. One of these two typically come out in close encounter PvP or raiding a base. Otherwise I use my DXR6 Carbine for range reasons. I have 0404 Pistoleer. So this carbine allows me to root, stun, or just beat on people at a distance. Volley Fire is good at 65m reguardless of what weapon I use.
In PvE situations I've got that Flare Pistol from the hunting grounds that I use a lot. Or I also use an E11 Mark II Carbine.
As a weaponsmith I can verify that the E11 MarkII and E5 Carbine do take identical resources and components. And statistically come out the same. Oddly enough I seem to get a lot more Amazing Succes's putting together E5's. But I'm sure that is just dumb luck.
Actually, after yesterdays "we bust a few bases" evening, i consider to get me a weapon which is optimized for damage and speed while badly ignoring SAC.
While trying to keep at least some degree of order i found myself not having time to balance action well any more and run low on it pretty often. After some time, i simply left ranged attack as default to be able to care for other things...
Perhaps i'm just too slow still...
