Thread: Action dropping like a rock.
You can also use Action Cost reducing weapon powerups. Iuse33% action cost reducing powerups.
Buffs buffs buffs. Get some decent doc buffs and go hunt. Your only limitation will be your mind pool. Also, try to find a good FWG or something instead of a DX2, DX2's SUCK for ham costs, especially if you can get a semi decent prenerf FWG (heck even some of the post nerfs are doin alright). Hated DX2's, the only mobs I ever really used them on were rancors or something with HUGE heat resist. Even vs armored targets I killed faster with FWGs due to faster firing speed and lower ham costs.

Eat two ryshcates and one breath of heaven. Strength, quickness and focus will all be over 1300. You can then use anything with zero ham cost.
Or if you have low mind use glazed glucose (food) and tat sunburn (drink).

It is good to see some wise words, ignore everything else and listen to this poster. This is the best option and should be your only to consider.
Not Entirely true.
If you don't mind the Downtime, Tat Sunburn/Muon works well for me and allows me to go insane spamming shots.
When Grinding out XP or just going out on hunts I carry:
1)Tat Sunburn
2) Fishak
3) Pixie whatever
4) Muon Gold
I get my '6' buffed. It's a 6k investment for 2-3 hours of problem free hunting. Depending on where I'm going, on my server I tend to find Theed Naboo and Coronet Corellia as the best place to find master doctors. I also carry my own packs of Enhance in case a Master Doc is out.
The Following Is Optional but will make for better hunting:
Entertainer Buffs:
Music Buffs are your friends!!! a Master Musician can hit 625/925 I think (or around there) and make all other food or chemicals irellevant. Sit and invest 8 minutes to ensure it sticks and you're good. A Dancer buff is good but not vital.
Method to My Madness:
1: If my '6' is Buffed Only: I use Fishak (~700 sec ~+500 Mind -50 Action) and keep my Muon as an emergency.
2: If my '6' is buffed w/ Music Buff: Fishak for the added mind
3: If my '6' is buffed w/ Music/Dancer: You don't need a thing. Fishak will just be overkill
4: No Buffs: Tat Sunburn keeps me spamming and I just heal using my stim b's. I keep Pixie or Muon in reserve to help any line that goes down....It's a great pick me up.
Works for me ![]()
heres what i do
buff WHENEVER POSSIBLE i solo allll the time so its a must
i weara 80% kinetic special protection composite set
before a big fight (higher level mobs) i hit a breath of heaven and RAKARIAN BURNOUT SAUCE (MUST!!!)
no one knows about rakirian...its 800 quickness for...idk how long...but its huge
so i have around 1100 quickness usually with my armor on even...so my specials (w/ armor = 90) are about 16 ish
Imediatly after the battle i pop a Sweetblossom (constitution +600) and a Tatooine Sunburn (Stamina +1800 for me)
throw a few Intimidates in teh fight so i barely get hurt (tested lately - drops a piket longhorn females attack from 230-ish to about 50-ish) ====most unused skill in the game IMO
so therefore,if im not buffedi can beat about anything, and im only 1443 in pistoleer, 0010 smuggler so far (rarely use feign..emergency only)
pop the before fight foods...dont waste yourself with specials
pop the after-fight food after a tough battle...regen in about 20-30 seconds tops with a full composite suit on (does not include mind)
with this i can easily solo Kunga warriors, take 10-20 hits from a Krayt (with specials going, composite, and intimidate...NO buffs...)...basically about anything in the game that hits for Kinetic...for ST and stuff i have a PSG MK3 with 55% energy resistance
Im not saying pistoleer is too powerful
Im saying theres ALOT of stuff out there people dont know about
