Id like advice on wich carbine i should spend a **edit**load of money on, I dont think a laser carb because of mitigation, but what about the others? any advice?

I've got a laser carbine (700+ max when pupped) that does more dps against mitigation 3 opponents than my best elite carbine. I use it the most because when i come across a melee opponent, i enjoy smacking them with potentially 1300pts pre-armor damage
Most often here are the situations for your carbines,
Laser: Nice damage, but due to the wide spread of damage it should only be only used againist unmitigated oponents, unless it is of exceptional variety.
Elite: This will be your weapon against people with mitigation, the tighter spread is better in this situation.
DXR6: Some people have been using this instead of the elite, I have yet to be able to commment for I have yet to have a pvp grade one crafted.
Just got word in a PM that elites do almost full damage in PvP because the devs wanted people to use them more. If so a 400 damage elite would do more then a 6 or 700 laser carb ya?

You know I have been playing this game several hours a day since day one and I guess I really do not understand how the mitigation works. I asked a guy once why he used his t21 in pvp (rifleman) and he said because of mitigation. Can anyone point me in a direction where I could read more about this, or take the time to explain what they know of the subject.
He's using it for the armor piercing otherwise the T21 is a truly sucky rifle for PvP. The accuracy on it is sucky. DXR-6B (bigger version of carbines) is better for PvP when facing stun protected opponents.

the DRX6 carbine is nice for both Pvp and Pve. A good one can have about same damage as an elite (just a bit less). But it is acid damage which PSGs are vulnerable to.

I keep the "Holy Trinity" of Carbines for every situation.
Elite Carbine- My PvP weapon, fast, accurate, and an even damage spread. Good IMO for steady damage, unlike the fluctuating Laser Carbine.
DXR-6 Carbine- I've been using this carbine more and more for both PvE & PvP, esp. when I got higher in the Carbineer/BH trees, facing tougher targets with higher energy resists.
Laser Carbine- I use this more for PvE than I do for PvP.
One more bonus for us Carbineers... our weapons look great!
