Before I go and do alot of painstaking scouting xp expeditions....how much does ranger help post cu? I know prior to the CU Ranger had alot of mask scent increases but now I don't see any increase to mask scent past master scout. It is also my understanding that ranger camo and mask scent can't be used together......so which is more useful and better?
I currently have master scout and +25 mask scent clothing, I don't break scent all that often but I haven't tried to sample DNA from any aggo creature above 59 cl. I am trying to figure out if the camo is better then the mask scent or if I should pick up a fighting skill.
Any and all advice and tips is and will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

We'll have to see how well non-Rangers can use camo kits when that hits live.

I know the camo kits won't be as good as camo applied from a ranger or camo applied as a ranger. My question is I guess....since ranger no longer seems to give any mask scent bonus....is it better as a bio-engineer to have master scout & mask scent clothing/foods and then have a fighting skill as a back-up or would it be better to go ranger and use ranger camo and have no back-up fighting skill?
It would be nice to have a fighting skill so I am not insta-killed should an agro spawn break my scent while sampling but I am not sure if mask scent works better then ranger camo (not the camo kits that is coming in pub 17) but rather if I was a ranger and used the conseal command using the ranger camo.

In a way I think this comes down a lot to your own personal playstyle. If you have any way to respec into it and test how it is going to affect your play, I'd encourage you to do that.
I know that some people, pre-CU were able to play in a way I totally could not - I absolutely needed combat skill, whereas they did not and it really had to do with um ... i think it had to do with them being better than me at sampling and stuff like that
