Pistoleer Archive

People love a good Pistoleer. As far as I'm concerned, albiet I'm biased, we're the best profession for leading XP grinding groups. I do the following as often as I can find time to do it and it works with any level of group/groupmates. This is what most everyone did on TC all the while we were testing the CU.

Get yourself a group. Preferably 3 or more for the bigger mission spawns.

Move your group to Mos Taike, on Tatooine.

Have your group pull missions 1 or 2 levels higher then the group CL.

VERY IMPORTANT, Have your group only pull missions for specific MOBs.

Dewbacks (the plain generic kind)

Mountain Dewbacks

Grizzled Dewbacks (these are not aggro)

Ronto

Rock Beetles (thes have a ranged spit attack - be careful)

These mission target MOBs are all non-social. That means you can attack one MOB from the spawned group without fear of the other's assisting. One word of warning though, when you tap the lair for more spawns they all seem to spawn Sociable for a moment. Let them all spawn out then pull or pull in the delay between spawns so another one doesn't pop up and assist.

(If you do pull a MOB and it "BAFs" (brings a friend) a good pistoleer/smuggler should have no trouble controling a second or third MOB that's turned aggressive. Just make sure your group knows to only attack the first MOB pulled and allow the pistoleer/smuggler to do his/her job by keeping any other's occupied.)

Without a doubt this is the very best method of grinding XP endlessly. A good pistoleer, preferably one with Smuggler skills, can "chain pull" non-stop for any group.
