Template: Master Creature Handler
Ranger 4/0/4/0
Rifle 1/4/0/0

Specials: Improved Conceal Shot and Sniper Shot

Reasons : As a sololist loaner who runs a large guild. I want a template where i can go out in the field and just stay there. Im a Master Creature Handler to allow my pets to tank for me. I wait until my high level pets get some damage and hate built up and then use improved conceal shot while ranger concealed to add damage to my pets while hiding from the target

See its a simple thread and concept. So lets add to it so we can avoid another 100 dupe threads.

• Saves skill points to get myCL to80.


• Lets me have a group to increase damage output rather than focus abilities on myself only.


• Areatrack helps when tracking down certain creatures for their loot drops or resource types. Wild harvesting is still the fastest way there is on certain planets aka Dathomir.


• Traps help avoid damage on the big baddies, like the Ancient Bull Rancors I'm fighting against to try and get another stack of Advanced Battle Cores.


• Harvesting brings in the monkey. I made 3 mil off of milk alone .


• Terrain Negotiation and Burst Run Efficiency help because I can't just continuously store my pets after every battle just to move to another area and recall them to fight.


• Enrage and Embolden Pets helps increase their damage output and health when I am fighting said Rancors.


• Basically, it's a template that allows me to spread the enemy's concentration of what to hit. If I continue to damage the creature more than my pets, they won't be attacked or attempted to attack.

FYI, you can get a creature to use an area attack against you, and if you are near a lair of creatures and survive that attack, you knock down the creature with the knockdown ability in Marksman while the creatures it also damaged wail on it. Use traps to keep it in place, those critters attack it, your pets attack it, and you attack it. It's a beautiful thing .

-Gets me to the all-important CL80

-Adds the speed that master ranger/mbh lacks. I end up with 80 speed when using pistols. Accuracy is a little low, though.

-Lots of handy specials. Improved critical, improved stopping, improved body shot, warning shot, improved underhand.

-Okay defenses. Around 150 melee and ranged, which isn't too bad for a template with master ranger.

-And of course, I'm a Master Ranger. Even when p-dart acts normally, I can solo a gorax. And I'm a MasterRanger. The few, the proud, and all that. Tracking, harvest bonus, camo, HTFB's, the works. Gotta be a Master Ranger.
