I did M Bio-E on Corbantis for about 10 months and loved it. Back before the huge CH and BE nerfs. Now I am a M on Eclipse but very very confused...
I never have a full inventory when I go out and clone (empty inv and pack with just equipted clothing) I get something like 80-90% failure. Pre-Cu It was the opposite 80-90 success... what the ____ happened? The animal AI seems to have gotten more difficult cause I was able to approach them slowly (walking) and sample without scout skills. Now I get within 50' and boom insta agro and im back in the cloning bay.
This is purely fustrating. What am I doing wrong?
-EDIT-
Also does anyone know of a post CU bio-e website detailing out our needs?

Breaking mask scent feels like it's tied to the difference in levels. So best is to get a group with a CL80. Ifthat's not an option, get combat as high as you can and hope for the best if you gonna try a CL75 aggro. Other than that I haven't been having too bad a time with my mask scent clothes on.

I've had various luck with mask scent. I've gotten right up to CL 65-75's without any problems and then I've had some break scent while 20-30 meters away.
The swoop trick works great or get close to the mob and just wait for them to walk to you. This works so so vs the solitary mob. Kwis seem to break it quick while the spider things on Dath don't.

I respeced my FarStar toon to MBE/MCH/Ranger0030, I've always wanted to try a combo like this to have fun to be honest..
So yesterday I got a lot of samples and you're right, mask scent isn't as good as it used to be..
I tried the old technique, walk slowly etc, but I don't like it.. being lvl58, it is very very easy to get killed if they discover you. After 8 or 8 trip to the cloner I tried decided to use the swoop: I simply swoop to the lair and, if they don't aggro, dismount and sample.
It fails more often, but I die a lot less, so it's working for me...
The real problem of the new system is that they break mask scent when you're like 20-30m from them, so it is really not easy to escape if they aggro. So maybe you go to a lair, manage to get close to a critter, then he walks towards the others while you're sampling and the other critters aggro.. not fun :/
