I was thinking Rifleman, but what about a TKA?

i love pikeman/ranger. 99% of the time creatures are melee attacking. with a couple select traps and special moves, i can take most whites, and several reds down solo. throw pets in the mix, stand 6-7m away and love tap to death.

BTW, scored a 2236 dmg hit with my vibro lance (preferred weapon) doing a polearm hit 2 yesterday. new personal best. dropped a ravaging perleck in 3 hits. (glow-wire -always-, bone spur,polearm stun1,polearm action hit2, polearm hit2.

can't wait till polearm hit 3, only bout 3.5 million xp to go!

In every thread on this subject there's always brawlers/markman who claim there profession rocks.

I'm a Pistoleer and I love it, however I've heard as many TKA/Rifleman as I've heard Pistoleers. The wonderful part of this game is you can try everything and there's no penalty in doing so.

If you're a CH then I'd go pistol for the fact that you will both be targetting the health pool. If you're a solo player rifle man rocks for the insane mind shots and bleeds they get. I play solo and I still prefer Pistol, but I won't say it's the best choice.

Conclusion: There's no best profession next to Ranger.

I play solo and I'm a fencer.

BTW, personal best is 2185 with melee hit 2 on a tusken leader that I first forced to kneeling then made him dizzy . When he fell to the ground, i whacked him!

I'm a TKA / Ranger. They don't necessarily compliment each other well at the moment anyway. Currently camps aren't very useful since a TK Master can meditate all his wounds away in seconds. Traps aren't working atm so nothing to say there. Bioscience lets you harvest a little more, not specifically useful to a TK. Wayfaring lets your crawl faster, more useful to a ranged class, like a rifleman.

TKA(or some other brawler based profession), Pistoleer, or Rifleman(especially with the new changes coming) seems to work best from a combat profession side.

Other very good alternatives for alternate professions:

1) CH...goes pretty hand in hand with Ranger abilities

2) Artisan...best route if you want to become truely independant resource wise...you are basically a one stop shop to any resources.

3) Squad Leader...especially with the changes coming to that class as well. With the changes coming to both classes, you'll make the ultimate guide/navigator/group leader especially on expeditions to dangerous planets.

I really think that any of the above combat professions, or Squad Leader with the changes both Ranger and SL are getting would make for the perfect Ranger combination.
