My only suggestion would be to get a decent Combat Droid to use as a backup.
You're doing everything that I do, about the same level, only diff is I use a droid.

And most times I don't need him, but when I do (Like on those Elite HAMmers), it's nice to have him!

what are the stats on your armor, and do you have psg's?


i, as cl80 master carbs/master bh/novice cm w/ some fs skills almost took a double chevron boss w/ 33k ham AFK

i was at work, and as soon as i engaged, the owner of the company came walking around the corner.

i got him off my back, came back to 25% health, healed, kd, snare, run out of range, heal and waded back in, and got him.

if you are taking too much damage as a rifleman, you are not using your tools effectively, try gettingt several COVERED shots off before you sniper, also use terrain and objects to go heal if you are getting low.

Also be known, i think rifleman has the worst defenses of any of the ranged classes.

i seem to do just fine on even the Boss marks, current template is MBH-MDoc & Nov Rifles... and this is with pre CU converted wook hunting & battle armor [might as well use it up i made myself 20 suits before the CU]. drag along some synthsteak. try this combo since you've got some healing ability... booster blue, blob candy, maybe some canape or spiced tea. if you've got rifleman break out the startle shot when you need time to heal & save you're adv crit shot/head shot for when you get a KD in, keep an eye on your action cuz if you see your mark w/ a carbine you can be 100% sure he'll be spamming KD attacks. also if they're using KD attacks, kneecap shot & kite em, stay out of his range. hope this helps you out.

ok, thanks everyone for answering so fast.

First i am at work, not working of course, but posting on the this board so i can play the game better, but because of that i cant answer some of the specific questions about stats.

Armor, the stats on the armor is the same as every other listed that i have seen, so i know the stats are at least average. I use the recon armor because i like the ubese look, but if that is part of my problem then i am going shopping this afternoon. I will have to check the stats on my rifles which is the only real weapon i use and see what the actual ratings are, but i will see if i can modify them further, i assume i need a master smuggler to do that though.

I have a data pad full of combat tank droids, these guys knock them out fast, but i use them to buy me a little time. I know they are the best made, i made them when i was a MDE and maxed them out on everything.

I heal as often as i can, but i need to revamp the healing i guess.

Dueling stance, i was not aware that i needed to redo it every 30 seconds so i will try that, i tried the conceal shot a few times, but every time they seem to come straight for me anyway, but i will give it another try. I dont rely on the ranged shot, mostly use specials but have it set to refire to get a hit or 2 in while the specials recharge.

I guess one more followup question, are the elite marks that are 3 cls higher than me average for you guys or should i be doing elite marks closer to my level, is it possible that is the problem

You should attack the mark first ,then have your droid attack and then you move around the mark 90 or 180 degrees. The mark will attack you and not the droid. If the mark is by a lair,put yourself between mark and lair and there's a good chance he'll agro the them.

I am still lvl 38 and have the current build on my template: BH 1100, Master Marksman, Medic 0430, CM 3000, Pistoleer 3111

I NEVER use armor and rarely use buffs. The only enhancement I use are the stim enhancers with the 5m duration to pistol speed and/or accuracy. I do use Brandy. No spice!

I ALWAYS pull the highest mission possible with most marks appearing 3-5 levels higher then me.

Out of all of these opponets I've only been incapped once and it was by a lvl 43 Elite. I recall it having around 17k hitpoints and it did about 350-500 dmg per hit and was attacking once every 2-3 seconds with an occasional delay.

Overall, the best loot I had recieved to date has been from normal marks. (AA w/ +3rifle speed, +3 carbine speed, +1 warfare eff; AA +7 carbine speed)

I'm averaging 185 investigation points of exp per kill. I'm also pulling missions near a BH term/informant in Coronet that is about 15m from each other. I can sit there and pull mission, contact informant, if mission equals > 3km then drop mission and repeat.
