Ya, i dunno. I really don't want to put points into the grendade tree in commando because I want to master Pistoleer and BH Pistols IV.

Lol, what do you mean?
Should I be Pistoleer/Fencer or Pistoleer/Swordsman?

Yeah, rifleman isnt as good as melee for getting FS experience. Melee can quite happily spin attack lairs from the outset and just keep spamming that attack stationary. Riflemen have to run around/ position carefully to fit enemies into the AOE cones when doing lairs. Its not crap, experience rolls in, just not as quickly as it could.

i have no idea what melee characters gain pr hour, but i as a rifleman can cap my xp in one entertainer buff session - 2 hours traveling times included.

I can put here the difference as I'm done with the FS grinding and I did it with tka master, swords 0420 and master rifleman
TKA and Swords are very easy and when u are 4m from the lair, just have to hit a spin macro and for 3-4 min the game plays for you ... u can take a little pause that u will love when the grinding comes hard.
Rifleman is fast too but u have to play actively, move around strafe2, run away head3 and so on and when u do it for 2h u will be tired.
The 900k exp for me took this time
tka 1h 40min - 1h 50m
swords 2h 20min - 2h 30min (cause at 0420 I get the max exp of 4200 not 5000 from the best animals)
rifleman 2h - 2h 10min
I'd like to suggest 2 melee profs at master level to get 160k FS exp every 2 buffs sessions (1 day progam)

I liked rifles the most though

The fastest way other than the doc/commando approach is Mfencer/MSwords and slaughter the squill cave. should take about 35-40mins for swords 40-45mins for fencer. I did my last branch like that only with TKM and Fencer 4.4.x.x inclose tothat time.

im gettin fs xp with rifles, i get about 80k-100k fs xp each buff, its not bad at all, just use strafe shot 2 on everything, best things to hunt in a solo are kamuth snappers and giant baz nitches

Being an MCH and MR, I can use my pets to tank and can usually cap rifle xp in about 1hr and almost pull 2 caps within the time for a mind buff.
Also to note, I am a bit old school and don't use the health/action buffs so makes things a bit more fun and entertaining/dramatic (esp when I get incapped/DB.....lol). Only reason I use mind buffs is that they can be easily replaced by brandy and sometimes I just go out with brandy as well.

I'm rifleman and although its not the quickest. I can cap in a couple of hours in 1 buff. Hourton stalkers on dant and point blank area macro on the the lair you cant miss and get 4-5k xp per stalker (obviously in a solo group). Ideally I would like to be swordsman as well and cap that as well but hey its not that bad.
