I've been playing SWG since launch and for about 3/4 of that time I've been BHing. Mostly melee, but some range. I decided to put away my nicely polished Katarn Knucklers and drop my TKM/MBH/Commando4000 template and try going range. I've decided to venture down a road I have yet to travel......Rifleman. MBH/MR/CM4000 looks just right. After a few lairs I'm at MBH of course....Novice Rifles +1 box and just shy of Novice CM. My dileema resides in what specials should I be utilizing as MBH with now Rifles? Headshot or Eyeshot? Snipershot or Torsoshot? What should be my opener, what should I spam, and what would be my closer.....the kill? I appreciate any and all input and thank you very much!

Open witha KD shot, then Adv Crit and Torso alternate. Same damage plan as any ranged MBH. I'd toss in a Kneecap shot after the KD Crit and Torso if they're not rifles, too, so you could kite

torso is more action cost if i am not mistaken spam HS - crit more damage and less SAC

Just keep in mind the kind of target changes strats. The nice thing about MBH & MR is the /prone; /cover; /concealShot for peeling off approx. 2K off NPC marks before they arro. For fast arro I use pistols 0 0 0 4, again /prone; /sniper; /stopping shot; /sniper; /Kneecap; /sniper or /advancedCriticalShot.(NOTE: It just seems on faster targets and pvp there are always people in your group or too close to /cover)Once a target is close BH specials are strong but one I dont think may get much use but helps a lot is /ImprovedDuelistStance. IF you test with your combat tab you will see by using it a lot of damage is reduced. I also feel pretty good about improvedUnderhandShot. It works just as good with my rifle as my scatter the ONLY target I almost never see go down with improvedUnderhandShot is Kryatts. It seems with a ALR in the 500dps range this kind of strat works well. I also have stims for when the rifle misses from time to time I still get like 3-5 misses in a row even with master rifles and when that happens its time to stim and burst! I dont have a medic line with Stim D's available.

MR/MBH/CM 4/x/x/x

I open with cover, conceal shot til cover is blown, KD, sniper, adv startle shot, adv sniper, rinse and repeat.

Knockdown and adv startle shot don't succeed 100% but it's about 50-75% forme. Does anyone know if accuracy improves the chances of a successful KD or adv startle shot?

Just thought I would throw this out there. I have the SureShot Cybernetic arm and that has given me a 70m range with rifle. Up from 65 meters. I am trying to get the other ranged arm and from what I hear that will bump up my default range to 80m. Use that with Cover, Imp. Conceal Shot, and Sniper Shot and that target is taking a beating before he knows where you are. Now, against Jedi I don't know how realisitic it is to use the Cover technique but having 80meters to work with is nice. I am a 2 week old MBH and still working on getting equipment so I haven't had a chance to hunt Jedi yet.

open: adv aim, then sniper.

if its a NPC, do another sniper.

if its a jedi, kick up shot and then for your damage shots, alternate head shot and crit shot, (the most advanced versions u have of course) (Torso shot? i dont realy use this much, should i ??)

then you have at your disposal the BH and Rm spechials: il just add RM: we have startle shot (5 sec daze - breaks on damage, not THAT usefull anymore,really a situational shot, when u need to heal and / or run - if you spam it, target gets anger) and the knee cap shot witch is a pretty good snare, if it sticks.

i try to use the snare right after my kick up shot on jedi.

on NPC, i have yet to even get incapped, by even a gold cheveron. BH/RM is great for soloing the BH NPC's, prolly the best temp for it.
