My temp is Master Rifles, Master combat Medic, Master Marksman. What I usually do is take off the auto fire from whatever you usually keep it on. You hit em with a paralyze shot, as long as you dont hit em with another ranged shot they stay paralyzed. So then you hit em with shock, thyroid rupture and electrolyte drain and put some distance between yas. When they recover from the paralyze theyre slowed alot already from the states. You just need to make sure your group knows enough to not fire on the target until you're done stating him so you dont get left toe to toe with the target. Then make your next ranged shot a kneecap shot to slow them down more then put the auto back on to keep hitting em. Having the master marksman ups your accuracy so you dont miss quite as often when shooting on the fly. By the time he catches you it shouldnt be much of a fight.(This works great hunting krayts)The downside to this temp. is on the healing end. You like to stay a good distance away and shoot prone if you can but then you cant heal at all. So you're better off staying a bit closer to your group and shooting from a kneel so you can at least heal yourself if need be. When your group is in trouble you really have no choice but to switch to your pistol and make your way into the thick of things healing away. Also you have to be careful that you dont attract too much aggro because then if someone falls you have to fight off everything between you and him before you can rez. and if you fall who's gonna rez you? It's been my experience that the best situation is to have a doc in your group or another MCMso you can just state the targets and he can take up the healing side. Splitting up the duties makes it easier on you both and you wind up using alot less mind HAM.


I Hope that helps if you decide to go rifles.

i prefer mcm mr
yes you have to get within 35m to aply poision etc and 10m to apply electrodrain but at the end of the day once ive burst run in and applied paralize ,snare run to max throw distance and applied poision and fire i want to be as far away from the anchient krayt as possibal.. 35m pistol range is too easy to slip up and become lunch
however i dont pvp so my views are from a pve perspective only



Bothans are rarer than jedi
that makes me sad =o
