Sniper shot isn't worth it if you don't have the master version. I could be wrong, but I think adv. critical hits harder than improved sniper shot.
Just to add some real World perspective on this..
I was MBH, MRifles, SL xx13 (Paint Target, Blaze of Glory, Called Shot), Novice Medic for a while and whilst Adv Sniper Shot would usually hit for over 3k, it wasn't that consistent. Since I only had Blaze of Glory I couldn't test its effectiveness with Volley Fire or the Accuracy Buff.
MSL on the other hand makes Improved Sniper Shot just as powerful if not more so than Advanced simply from the added Leadership and Called Shot bonus mods. Every unbuffed Jedi I've shot at with an Aim, Pyro, Paint Target, Called Shot, Improved Sniper Shot has been hit for over 4k.
I've hit a Jedi with Improved Aura and Improved Armor running for just over 3k (enough to incap them in one shot), although I do think this was a critical hit - other tests showed damage more around the 2.5k mark.
In summary, MSL with Rifles 4xxx is stronger than MRifleman with only some of SL. You will lose some rifle speed unless you pick up the Technique line.
It's a shame you can't use High Yield on yourself though, it would make it insane.
Well sounds about right, but did you try using adv. critical instead of imp. sniper shot ? I'm interested if the improved version of snipershot is weaker than adv. critical.
I haven't got Advanced Sniper Shot anymore, as I'm no longer MRifles.
What I'm saying is Improved Sniper Shot (which is weaker than Advanced) does MORE damage than Advanced, when you are a MSL - a good 1k more.

called shot gives bonus on the next shot the target takes no matter who makes it you or groupmember. that is what makes it good with bounty hunting and a nice opener combined with paint target and volley fire. you know the first shot is going to be a good high dmg special and not no defalt weak one.After that first shot it is no longerreally usefull because you can dothealmost if not more damage withyour next 2 shot as you could waiting for thecooldown to execute another called shot.

Have the accuracy group buff, take some pyro, use aim, paint target, called shot, sniper...one dead jedi
I think called shot only gives a bonus tothe group only and not you.

lol thats a very interesting template, I didn't think you could buff your pets
You certainly can buff your pets/droids. My never used probot has become my new best friend since the AI upgrade and squad leader.

How about from the PvE side of things? Any thoughts? It would seem that in PvE healign is much more important...
