Hey all,
I am considering dropping my Master Architect and Artisan to allow myself to go Ranger.
With the CU and respec, I am trying to determine IF I were to do this what the best combination of weapon professions would be the best marriage with the Ranger skill set.
I am a Wookiee and part of this is because I want to do Rangering on Kashyyyk. I have looked at some of the new weaps coming out and was interested in the Kashyyykian Blade Staff so I looked at the Pikeman forum and they seem to be pretty torched after the CU, I also looked at the Rifleman forum and they seem to be doing okay.
The weapons skills would be to compliment the Ranger profession so I was hoping I could get some feedback from those who are doing it.
Thanks.

So far, you cannot respec non-combat skills (Entertainer and its elite professions, Artisan and its elite professions).
Now, to answer your question about what combinations, I advise Ranger / Squad Leader. You are the ultimate support character. You lead group hunts, area track, keep creature targets trapped, issue commands that give your group a bonus, and when they get their xp you get to harvest them. I amassed about 58K hides this way in almost an hour and a half of Tortur lv 78 missions with my guildies.
I respec'd from MR / TKM to MR / MSL for this very reason, and I will be keeping this template as I have already pressed the "never" button hehe. Good luck with your Rangering, bud.

I had Master Ranger/Master Pikeman after the CU and it works pretty good. The best way to take down creatures with pikeman is traps. Use Lecapanine traps beacuse they dizzy, then just knock them down and use Impale. I've taken lvl 70-80 creatures to 1/2 health with this sweep/hit move. The only problem withpikeman is you have to get close to the rest of the mob and they might go aggro on you.
When the Respec came I took Master Rifleman and I can solo any lair equal to or slightly above my CL. Go prone about 50-60m away from everything and shoot the one furthest from the crowd. Put auto-attack on headshot. Use kneecap hit first to slow them up, then sniper shot, head shot will fire 2-3 times while sniper is rebuilding, once they start coming in real close hit them with dazzle (?) shot, that will slow their attacks, maybe 1 more sniper shot and he's dead and you took hardly any damage if any at all. Oh yeah, and I use a T21 with a 921 max damage I think it is.

i was thinking of Master Ranger with Master Bounty Hunter, not to be uber, but to maybe be a good compliment to other bounty hunters..
