From what I have seen, this is the most used Ranger combo. My goal (not quite there):

Master Ranger, Master Creature Handler, Marksman 4-0-0-0, Rifleman 3-0-0-0

This combonation is working pretty good for me at the moment.

Yeah.. Most Rangers I know are rifleman. It works out ok, long as you're quick about getting the resources before they decay away.

You won't get to use as many traps up that tree, but it can work if done right.

Ranger is not a combat class. No benifit from that templaet as far as combat. I think u get a little bonus against creatures but not much.

Reckon spell check is not working.

The worst part of rifleman/Ranger is you have to stay far away. If there is a larger group of aggros, and you start dropping them one after another, it is quite possible, even probable, that the first kills will have "vanished" before you get to harvest them.

Rifle attacks, specifically the conceal shot, are great for dropping critters. They are time consuming tho. I have seen a rifleman spend the better part of 15 mins on one lair, conceal shot after conceal shot. And forget traps, as if you are using rifle tactics correctly, the critters never get within 50 meters so you can trap em.

Me, I like pistols, coupled with traps. I don't have to be up close and personal to drop a critter, but should he come charging, it doesn't hurt me as much as it hurts a rifleman.

Make sure you get master rifleman. Anything less would be uncivilized.

I agree with the ranger/pistol combo. Get to use traps and charging doesn't affect you. I have three different pistols depending on range and creature stats.

Rifleman is great i'm master and working on ranger. all you have to do is use flushing shot 2 and you can take down multiple targets i have no problem clear a lair in 5 minutes.

ranger will help you in combat as well...being able to run faster then a melee class, running away or catching up with them

. Plus....tracking is lovely too...ooh I almost forgot that you can crawl insanely fast while +take cover+ Not to mention you can take down a creature very fast if you need somekind of resources to harvest

A rangerdoes not have to be far away to kill stuff with a rifle, after you are at least 4300 in rifleman. Just an hour ago I wiped out 2 lairs on Endor, the arachne webmaster and venom somethingsomethings. I /maskedscent (works better than camo I've found), went prone, used cover with sneak, then /followed on the bugs with conceal shot. And with a good T21, nothing takes too long to kill! (Ok maybe a krayt)

ps- more Veghash please!

Its a great combo and no, the range of the rifleman is not so great that the corpses decay before you get there.60-64m isnt a great distance.

aside from that, you can level the entire base with advance strafe which allows yuou to stroll on over and harvest the goods or, conceal shot the target to death depending if the target pack assists or not.

I'm having a blast with Rifleman/Ranger, but the only useful traps are Phecnacine Dart and Adhesive Mesh on those rare times that you miss and bring the wrath of MOB down on you....

While it works well for solo hunting, grouping is a different story. You need to get in, harvest and get back quickly and you may as well forget about getting any lootables unless you are with friends you know will share....

If you get a quick rifle and use speed/mind powerups, you can roll through creatures with conceal shot. My T-21 is down to 3.9 speed, not accounting for my skill/speed mods.
