This is the template that I have. It's fairly common. It certainly has pluses and minuses. I guess you need to be specific about what you mean by "work".

My alt is a Master Chef/ Master BE. I have no trobule getting samples. I get buffed and wear comp armor when I do it. I have not died yet. I keep my swoop out and if the animal aggros me. I just hop on my swoop and drive away.

I do fine. I don't believe that having higher combat skills would make you die any less (since your ability to kill what you are sampling is irrellevant). Get exploration 4, and masked scent clothing (which you'll be able to make yourself) and you'll be fine. I think perhaps the biggest drawback dna-gathering-wise is just the fact that you'll not be able to pull missions for the things you want to sample, thus it will take you longer in some cases, but I manage

with hunting 4, you'll probably have better harvesting skills than most people you hunt with. But with no combat you will of course be 100% dependent on others to kill things whether or not you are along on the hunt. But the way I look at it is: even if you have unlimited skills available to you, it's real likely that your time is going to be the limiting factor, not your skills. So you just need to ask yourself what you enjoy doing most, and focus on that.

I think it will work.
Zanti is a MBE working on Master Chef, and to do that, he'll have to give up all his combat skills and rever to a CDEF wielding combat n00b.
But he's going to keep the entire Exploration line, and he's already got some TKM/Pistolleer/Smuggler types who are willing to come along as bodyguards on DNA expeditions.
So he doesn't anticipate dying very often, as long as he's got his goon squad to beat the poodoo out of fresh rancors.

I'm MBE/MDoc. For samples its not bad. No armor, with a republic blaster so I tend to run away a lot.
For gathering meat, I go with a bunch of guildies or find someone to buy it from..not and easy thing to do.

Get a few (boots, gloves, chest) pieces of Ubese to wear while sampling.
