Thread: Better than Biz Natch?
RE:Knight725
More like scorpions the preying mantis. Giant and Queen? I have not seen them, just the normal guys. They are like Drynanks or something *totally drawing a blank*. Since moving my house from Tantooine to TalusI went from Novice pistoleer to 0-0-3-0 in about 4 days. I am only casual, and thats about 750K exp in 4 days.
This is where creature handler comes in so handy. Sledge Panthers with 7K HAM and 60% resistance to like everything are just the perfect tank. I can heal with stimpack B for about 500H and 500A (aggressivly experimented on stimpaks) so keeping a pet alive is no problem.
As much as I give kudos to the devs for a very nice skill tree, i feel that the game was way to much to chew off. What were they doing over 3 years on this thing? Engine is a joke and should not have taken more then a couple months to design and get the basics built, and game rules couldn't be that bad....i dunno.
Pistoleer is a nice profession, but I would be nothing without Boink my Sledge Panther.
Solo, assuming no help what-so-ever and no pets.
Prone @ 60 meters.
Healthshot1, Healthshot2, Bodyshot2, Bodyshot2, /kneel, Bodyshot2
By now the mob has a lock on you and charges.
Warning Shot, Bodyshot2, Bodyshot2, Warning Shot repeat ad infinitum.
Of course, Bol groups on Dantooine are even better IMHO. Massive amounts of BAF, loads of spawns per lair, fun fights with tanks up front to let us plink away all day.
I do have pets of course, with them up and tanking for me I can pull down 3.5 to 4k per mob I fight. I'd get about 1.5k to 2.5k on critters I would feel comfortable fighting without pets to tank for me.
Shooting up a lair for XP is both boring and cheesy. I want fights... not target shooting. 
sludge panthers are on talus.
does using a pet to tank for u take xp from u?

Who needs knockdown? I use it once in a blue moon - usually to get an add off me (Actually use Warning Shot more often for that)
I get 2k pistol XP per kill, don't bother with Dathomir (far too laggy), and used Pistol Whip all of 3 times in the last2 play sessions.
If you think you "need" knockdowns or cheap lair tactics to earn good XP you're just being deliberately dense IMHO.
Doh! trigger happy. Since when did Dathomir get laggy? I was there last weekend and it was fine.
I hunt Bols and Picketson Dantoine. We pair up on them though. alternating warning shot. No knockdowns.
I get anywhere from 1500 to 2300 xp from each.

As much as I hate to say it.....good. Sure it was some great experiance, but you have to admit that its was getting a little rediculous. Nothing like uber noobs going to Dathomir and making 10K a pop with 3K exp to go along with it.
Dathomir = Advanced Planet
Glad to see its back to that
Agreed. But it still is a pain though. I was in the middle of a mission, then the server goes down and I get ganged by them.. Insta death by the hands of 5 chickens.
