Teras Kasi Archive

What are your guys thoughts of mixing Carbineer with a TKM? This is aviable PVP character or a waste?

Holocron told me to master carbine and i was pretty p1ssed. Carbine sucks right? Well.... not really. Its not that bad to tell the truth. Does it compliment TKA? It can.

Im a Teras Kasi Master, Pistoleer 0-0-4-3 Medic 0-2-0-0 and now im Carbineer 2-4-3-3.

Thanks to the pistoleer kd defense i was alread at +70 KD defense, with carbine i get a +15 so now im at +85, im pretty hard to knockdown now. Want to try to kite me? Im going to pull my Laser Carbine (mine does 274 max dmg, 2.3 speed with medium armor piercing) and im going to use Chargingshot on you... a KD that works at 50m. Or i might use actionshot1/actionshot2, action bleeds that cause you to kneel. I might use actionshot1, bleed your action, make you kneel and then use suppresionfire to cause you to go prone..... the whole time im running up on you closing the gap.

This is about useless in pvp since the fights dont last that long. but against tough screatures i can use health bleeds, action bleeds, plus kick arse when they come to do kinetic damage to me (silly Savage Quenker, doesnt he see the Teras Kasi Master title over my head?).

Carbine is still frustrating. For one the action cost for specials is way too high (alot like tka used to be). Breath of Heaven should always be your friend (+500 buff to all 3 secondaries) but Doctor buffs are going to become that lover you'll remember forever. Youll want to be buffed all the time. Every 2 hours or so youll leave Dantooine and head to Coronet for a buff.

So far though, the MOST frustrating thing is trying to find better carbines than what im already using. Im nearing master (should have it thursday) and ive never even picked up an Elite Carbine, nor have a used a DXR6. The laser carbines i already have seem to be the best, that ive seen anyway. No weaponsmiths want to mess with the Elite for some reason.

Carbine+TKA wont make you the ultimate superpower in PvP, its not the best template in the world for defense but if you pair it with some pistoleer like i have its kinda fun. I might actually keep Carbine for awhile. Its been a learning experience to be sure.

with the lack of really nice defenses I wonder if the profession is worth adding it to TKM though. I was a master rifleman, dropped for an entertainer holo and just curious to try something new that was ranged.
