Well lately a couple of my guildies have been reading it and learning from me as well. Its not that diffucult its just a matter of food managment and knowing your target.
As for rifleman specials unbuffed I defer this JBMatt who knows that part far more then me. I've been a brawler to long to remember what that was like when i was a Master Rifle

Torath of Wanderhome here - Master Ranger / TKM
I created an orginization on Wanderhome called the "Hunter's Alliance" whos purpose is to buy and sell the various creature resources so everyone has a central place to buy and sell through.
I had several buyers lined up for a pretty decent spawn of Carnivore Meat on Corellia (good for BE's) and Today through the contacts I have aquired since starting the "HA", I got another Master Ranger, and 3 partial Rangers (Some working towards Master) to go with me.
Once we were teamed up we headed to Margarittaville (Far NE quadrant of Corellia) and because we were all pretty strong we decided to do Sharnaff missions (as they drop a good amount of meat and are common). We hunted and chatted during this time about various things and after a little over 2 hours we had as a group harvested about 150k of meat. 46k was mine as I had also been using Veghash (+30 to Harvesting).
I had another 76k back at my shop from the previous day from myself and 2 others. Ever since this new Ranger Improvement I have been able to get somethe Rangers I know to go hunting with me. It was really fun, before the fix what with the Harvesting ppenalty i rarely harvested in a Group. What with the new Master Ranger Bonus and Grouping bonus I have been grouping constantly and gotten to know some other good Rangers and a few new people grinding up from scout.
I haven't had this much fun in ages, and I was able to fill 3 orders for 100k Units each in just hours. This new bonus system helps to avoid the Ranger profession from being a soloers career and really bring those of us used to soloing back into big groups and joking around.
I plan on posting a topic on a "Request for Master Ranger Quest" to be added to the game. (something to spice up the Master Ranger Career)

I went out hunting with a small group (3) on saturday. Dantooine carnivore was good, so we decided to get some k of it. We took some missions and headed out. One fencer / chef (you should see him in the kitchen, it's scary how he handles his knifes
), on apsiring commando (with some "little" buffs) and me, the ranger/rifleman. It all worked fine, we went from mission to mission, or if the distance was larger, we used mounts. Any voritors or grauls on the way were invited to go with us - or at least their meat.
But there was one thing that I had noticed before. I always stayed far away form the lair/creatures, at optimum range, with camo on. Still, form time to time, I got aggroed, even if I did nothing - the other two were killing the creatures or hitting the lair. To my surprise it changed when I was no longer the leader of the group. Now, how does this whole "aggro in a group thing" work?
