I took my brothers old novice bh account, respecced to swordsman/rifleman, and got ready to hunt.
My advice would be to stick to either melee or ranged, don't mix the two. Either drop rifleman and respec it to TKA, Fencer, Pikeman, or more Swordman, or drop Swordman and respec to Pistols, Carbine, or more Rifleman.

Invite me to watch you take out that 109. I'm calling you a liar.
And while I'm on a rant.....
What is this crap of not allowing lower CLs to group? In an eight person group with five CL80s it is too inconveineint to allow a couple of CL 30's? This is BS.
Thanks SOE. Grouping. Working as intended.

I'm going to address these issues:
- A CL 58 can solo a CL109 in theory, if he's a Carbineer or Pistoleer you can kite it/snare it to death. In the same way a CL 80 can solo a CL100 - 120 mob in the same way. The CU didn't precisely stop this happening, it just requires tactics and patience.
For the record, I've soloed a "Kryat". Definetely some problems with -Retreat- and some strange SSHD, but it's possible - they don't have a ranged attack unlike Kimos.
- To answer your second question, lower CLs slows down the XP gain for the rest of the group. If you had a choice - Faster XP or Slower XP, I doubt you'd opt for the latter.
Grouping works, just group with people of similar levels. Higher levels lose out from recruiting lower members, it slows down the XP.

Affraid he is right if you have a good root and time it so that the cl 100+ never un-roots and the cl-100 does not have ranged equil to yours.. he is dead after ... well after i while of shooting hittn at 2000 waitin for him to heal 1500 of it shoot agin 2000 wait for him to heal 1500.. you see what im getting at... but you screw up just once.. just once BAM you look like what there serven up at the road kill cafe.
I have never done it i seem to always miss the 3rd root by a few secounds and... blamy but in theory it could happen.. but in all honesty luck is involved in hitting those roots cause if you shoot to early the cool down is to long to fire agin and if you shoot to late... well youll be dead befor you shoot if your late 
I'm having the same problem.I can'tmakeany good snares. I know the key is in the traps but i haven't found materials that will raise the bars to green, hell they don't even come out of the black.
I'v e been getting knocked around every planet since level 8. i don't believe the descriptions either, it makes it sound like i could kill a blue just by standing there, Right now I'm level 16 and i know i can safely kill a level 8. IF I'm careful. Turn my head and i'm incapped. Really strange, and i did group with an 80 and his pet, he'd send the pet in, then shoot then I'd shoot, and we'd both shoot until the creature was dead. Theoretically I should be able to do that at level 16 going after level 12 creatures. throw snare pop off a special shot, use snare shot, back up until it's dead. Nope. BTW standing there with the 80 wasn't much fun, I'd rather have on the way up. What was nice was were the hides, grouped i was getting 400 hides a kill.
I didn't read until after I died that if you get incapacitated 3 times within 10 minutes you die. i could have waited and not died, oh well I have one free death left i think and then i have to buy insurance.
One final note. Eventually you may come up against a feeble kimba, feeble somethig. It conned green to me and the description did say feeble. Knocked me on mybutt before i could even run away lol.

You see, this is the kind of crap that irks me.Unless you have force powers there is no way a CL58 is going to solo a CL109. The CU was put into place to stop this from happening. If you DO have force powers you are not comparing apples to apples. It's funny how I am reading more and more posts by braggarts claiming to solo Kryats and Elders. Just as pre-CU peoplewere writing any, unsubstantiated garbage they wanted.

yes i kick two 80 and invited a few 30ish around cause the 80's was not being patiant with some of the less xped members of our group...
Id also like to take this time to say we should stop useing the biggeted term noobs and go with something more PC and call them The XPeriancedly Chalanged.

The snare and root they are discussing are attacks from the pistol and carbineer xxx4 branches. Stopping shot and cripple shot do wonders. Grinding is incredibly hard till level 50 I think. Until then your best hope is some patient reliable hunting friends.
