Only the basic and simple, a T21, maskscented, nor armor, no pet, I get near 64 meters and I start to spam conceal shots. I need time, but here at Naboo I get downFambaas, Rogue Fambaas andGiant Pekos-Pekos. I will try get Kimogilas at Lok and Tortons at Rori at the near future using this tatic.


If something get wrong,I burst run and use an E11 to rapid shots to cover my escape with warning shot. I have too to use at diferent creatures, when the T21 is a kind of overkill, a laser rifle, a Jawa Ion rifle, a spraystick and a SG82. To these easier creatures I can use mindshot 2 and mindshot 1, followed with some headshots 2.


I changed my original attributes to get up the willpower. ThenI have a fast capacity of mind regeneration and, how the shots need time,I can recuperate almost all my mind between a shot and another. I don't need to say that I ever try don't get near fight or melee combat and that at PvP any novice brawler can kill me.

209-503dmg/7.4 sec + powerup = 234-503/5.0 sec T21.


Mask, Mindshot 2, Headshot 3 (enough mind pool for 3 shots). Traps if they charge.
If you miss any, you're screwed. Especially against the really big things like kimogilas.

I dropped all my points and mastered pitoleer and ranger. I gave up soloing, because somewhere down the line of patches and updates I lost the "ranger edge" of PvE - harvesting. That, and I have an awesome group that asks me what they should harvest and give me the stuff at the end of the hunt. Great people.


I tote around an two FWG5s, a DX2, a scout pistol, and a crummy striker pistol to finish the lairs withouteating my other guns up on something that doesn't fight back. In the future, when they fix the tangle pistol, I'll have one of those too.


I've learned that weapon variety, combined with training does FAR more damage than just a big gun (look for vulnerabilities and use that weapon). I get over 1k damage on a 200 max damage pistol now

I have been hunting Bantha now almost exclusively for 2 weeks. Don't know why, but I have been having fun doing it.


I have been using the Tat camo kit with a T21. I can get off 3 shots without him knowing that anything is wrong. If he is not down in 3 hits then he charges. I use my Grand Wrix and Wrix as guards. Simply put, I use them only if I am attacked. Which only happens with Bantha Matriarchs and Dune Banthas. The Wrix's keep will usually cut the Bantha off at about 30m which still gives me a decent hit chance with the T21 while in Covered state.


This style has worked great for me so far. I also carry various rifles (T21, SG82, Laser, DLT20a, I still need to pick up an E11)so I can hit the weak spots on different animals. I am also up to Pistol Specialist in the Marksman tree, so I usually use the Scout, SR Combat, and FWG depending on the animals resists.


I also use traps, lots of traps. I have 5 or 6 on my hotkey bar, depending on what I am hunting. I cannot think of the names of all of them, but I use the one that drops Combat Defenses down, it looks like a stick. I use the one that drops Range Defenses down, it looks like a thermal detonator. I use the one that drops Melee Defenses down for the pets, it looks like a canister and is one of the earliest ones you get. I use the poison dart which can slow some of the creatures down if I get caught without my pets, and allows me to make a run for it. Ok, so I didn't name any of those, but I also use the Bone Spur, sure it doesn't hit Mind like it used to but it is still good for a throw. I maxed out my trapping skills a long time ago. I don't have any Skill Points available at the moment to go any higher in trapping.

I wanted to be the unltimate "hunter/sniper" as in using stealth and range to take down my targets. I chose Rifleman and Ranger combo, which the rifleman part has disapointed me because its not orientated around "hunting/sniping". Anyway, to the point i currently use a T21 for intial bleeds and the laser/spraystick combo for crowd control and combat enforcment.
