Thread: Rifleman/Creature Handler
I'm also CH/Rifleman (not that high in both tho) and I got all tier1 boxes first cause they were so easy to get. Then I focused on the 2nd tree so I can store more pets (I love to have many different pets
). 4th tree is also a good option (2 pets at same time and mount-command). I wouldn't go with the 1st tree cause you can also tame/control vicious critters by just wearing bio-enhanced clothing. Keep that one for later since it'sbetter to have more commands toteach (more XP).
Just my 2cr..
I am MCH and 3233 in Rifleman. I thought this was going to be a great combo andoverall, there is really nothing at all wrong with it. What I will say though, is that with Conceal Shot and other rifle tricks, I find that I don't have that much use for my pets, except as bodyguards in case something detects me. I am going to finish rifle, because I am close and it is fairly quick (relative to CH). But I must say that I am already considering TKM, so that I can use my pets to assist me. You might consider Carbineer, or pistoleer, that way you are more or less forced to use your combat skill and your pets simultaneusly, getting the most out of each. I was considering Carbineer, but was talked out of it by all the whining on the Carbineer board about how weak they were.
In any case, I am not telling you what to do. Each person has to decide what makes the game fun for them. I love running pets and I wanted to warn you that making the most of your rifle skills kind of interferes with that.
