Did you really pay 2 mil for a 542 T21? That would be a 31% damage slice on my 20k T21. I got 27% so 517. I hit 6k damge with mind shot 3 once in a while. That's the over the head actual damage not the combat spam stuff. SS2 has yet to be much use to me, so I can't say what I hit with it.
Have I commented on this 2 mil T21 before? I feel like I'm repeating my self.

Oh ok I was going to make sure you didn't go it again, lol. I hate bursting peoples bubbles but... 2 mil... hehe.
I if it makes you feel any better I gave 320k last night to the goods of the slice and came out happy... 556 max... woot. Took 320k to get there but... I got there lol.
PuPed should come to.. 739?

BTW i was out hunting Banthas with the rifleperson wife last night and had her play around with Concealshot. I added Tat Conceal to help her since shes still a 4/2/0/2 rifle. And was pretty darned impressed with its abilities. Now i can see where your taking down the large targets with enough patience.
TK is still faster
But Rifle is an interesting alternative

If it has a trapping module and you use it, that will get it aggro'd a lot of times, or you can just do what I do when that doesn't work and tell the probot to attack while you run off hoping the creature doesn't follow you
If it does, I just keep running around like mad hoping it will start hitting my droid instead of me. If it is a probot with actual combat modules that will probably work a lot better if you don't mind the weaps xp loss since the droid will be doing a lot more damage. Oh one last tip, if the droid doesn't have a self repair module, bring lots of droid repair kits lol.

Here is a post from the carbine forum, about fighting unbuffed and using carbines. Sometimes not an easy feat.

Have just come back from 2 hours on Endor hunting unbuffed and unarmoured. Made the quota I needed and had virtually nae bother at all. Ok, pesky gurrcecks did incap me a couple of times, but that beats the hell out me hunting on Tatooine earleir in the day and have 3 bloody aholes on swoops drag a couple of krayts through where I was hunting. Oh yeah, really loved em for that. :s No apologies and threatened with being reported for harassment for trying to get an apology. *ahem* Sorry, got right up my goat it did. Maskscent and conceal shot, what more do you need?Fair enough it might take me longer to kill something than someone buffed to the nines and tkm master but I get a helluva lot more enjoyment out of it because it's a challenge and it requires you to be aware of the critters around you and stay on your toes instead of button bashing and sitting back and waiting. My two cents.
