Most folks will tell you their favourite combo. Myself, I'm a Swordsman/CH as I've always preferred melee combat - but a lot of people do swear by Rifles/CH. If you can spare points - keep your xx3x Ranger - will come in invaluable in creature searching.

Hmm swords. Maybe I could use some of those loot swords from the themeparks.

I had thought about melee. Rifles just seems so sloooow and I hate lying down on the job.

Thanks for the info

Themepark loot swords = teh suxor!

I only ever get my gamorrean axe out for something different to all the powerhammers and scythes. And then I put it away and get out my powerhammer or scythe when I want to kill something

Well-crafted 2 hand weapons are the way ahead (except for the very rare exceptional NPC loots).

And I reckon Swords / MCH rocks a lot - send the hard pet in first to absorb some punishment and take that sucka down!

Me and my BE mawgax can take out ATST after ATST like that

I am MCH / Master carbineer. I like the combo not to much in pve I can not handle. I do little pvp does not interest me much. Carbineer has some of the best range weapons and special attacks for them in game. Down side the ham cost is about the highest. I like the fact I am mobile with range. I can run and fight which I do a lot on harder targets, fast and furious. My pets keep them busy and I attack. I have had this combo for about a year. I am not a profession jumper. I have learned how to fight with this combo. Many will say it is to weak but it works great for me. Sometime knowledge of your abilities out weighs pure strength.

I am MCH and headed up Pistols to Fanshot. Going Rifles is ok if you prefer. I like having the republic blast that shoots faster than any rifle. Hits from the same distance as a rifle.

Here is the key thing. If you are CH you are always going to be helping your pets. The KEY is spamming the specials. Even in PvE the pets should only be a distraction.

The way to do it is send pet in to attack the lair. Let the first additional wave spawn. Then fanshot everything. Tell pet to follow. Harvest everything then pop the next wave. Keep the pet attacking the lair. This draws it tons of agro. Fanshot everything again. Harvest then blow the lair. I never get buffed for this tactic. Heal your pet.

This is harder on lairs that will bleed or poison your pet.

A safety to use is pull out a second pet. Make sure it has a seperate ATTACK command because this pet you are going to set to GUARD you. You will plunder the lair and harvest much quicker with fanshot.

IF AT ANY TIME, you tell the first pet to attack a creature over the lair once you start this you can and probably will draw agro. Never take it off the lair. But if you do the second guard pet should help (some).
