Thread: What's a good profession to go with MR?
best prof to go with master ranger is rifleman.
You won't have enough skill points to be a master doctor and a master ranger BTW
im trying master ranger/pistoleer......im so in love with the pistol whip it isn't funny.
....well smacking down a bantha is actually pretty funny......*chuckle*
Why not Rifleman? Think about the typical Ranger. He's a hunter. He goes out and hunts big game, goes fishing, milks beasts, runs around the forests nekked. (well I try to but the game won't let me take my underpants off) What is the weapon of choice of most hunters? A RIFLE!!! I'm going rifle myself, but that's jsut because after being a BH I'm soooo sick of pistols and carbines I don't ever wanna use another one again.
The only problem with that is skill points. Unless you give up all the rest of the BH tree you won't have enough points to go far in Ranger. You can do one tree in Ranger as a Master BH. So you could do them all if you lost the other BH trees. But interesting idea.
...Plus remember, it takes 40k Combat XP to make BH. That's a LOT of killing.
They mentioned Master Ranger with Novice Medic and the LLC line in BH. I assume that's just LLC III since that's all that is affordable in BH.
So, what you said, in reverse
I'm a Master Ranger Master Pistoleer with just enough medic left to patch meup in the field...
Not to say that any other combo is wrong, it depends on your game style, but pistoleer has some advantages. Sooner or later, mostly sooner, angry things will be up close where pistols work best. Also at that time things will be hurting you which you want to end fast. With a good gun you can spam your best specials at the speed cap which is a nice way to clear um off.
I started out with a rifle but gave it up, because of the close quarters stuff. The creature to hit bonus that comes with ranger makes up for any loss of accuracy at distance. Mask scent with 2 stacking bleeds (this may get nerfed) is also very effective.
Fan shot, fan shot, fan shot - walk up to a blue con lair spam 4 shots and kill 6 mobs. Less wear on the gun, more to harvest in less time. You can kite and spam, and snare kite with traps. There is a pistol to match almost every resistance, save for cold and electricity. If you want to kill fast and often you have to consider pistols.
