i totally agree. conceal shot was a waste for me as the first thing i got.

i've just been doing the savage quenkers on dantooine grouped with my mount. i'm a master doc, so i'm buffed all the time, and i have fishak just in case. but you don't really need it with these wuss creatures. 4800 on the health bar (approx) giving me 3900 xp for each kill. 6 per lair, plus another 3k for the lair itself, and each mission pays about 6800 credits. even if i don't kill the varment before he aggro's i can just sit there and take everything he gives out with fishak or muon.

once i get the area of effect shot, these lairs will go down in just a few minutes. as of now, getting like 100k or so per hour. plus the 25k credits or so. go with a crate of tents and you can get even faster as you can pull out your vehicle or pet instead of riding the mount the entire time.

I never used conceal shot either. Just did as you said. But not on dath Did mine on Dantone Savage squenkers too... I used conceal shot once to kill an Crystal hunter with 28k Ham And 80% in all resistances (medium armor) But that takes looong time.

After the first one i killed i did as i did as an pistoleer when fighting hard things just Bleed em and get in your car and stay out of range untill its got 1hp left then any attack will kill it. (you might need to get of your vehicle and add another pair of bleeds on em)

ok 2 days into rifle and im 2/0/0/3 so far.

I dont use conceal shot and wont bother getting it until im at least 4/0/0/4, I goto dathomire (with buffs) no armour, some fishak, glucos, and bivoli and try and find the hardest **edit** mobs there and they are still to easy. I dont have mask scent so i dont use it. What i do is i find a gaping spider hunter or a kamerith defiler, I go prone at 55-63m and i start hitting them with headshot 2 (note im on 1 fishak and 2 glucos so my attacks cost me 5 mind lol) before this lvl 50 hard hitting deathblowing nasty ass mob actually agros (after 3 or 4 shots) i already got him down to 1 or 2 shots to the kill.. rarely do they even get close enough to hit me. That works for me and im getting 4-5k exp per kill and powerlvling real fast... screw conceal shot =)

Note, dont use bleeds it just causes agro.

What's your weapon? For me, I'm limited to a pretty crappy t-21 (haven't been able to find anything better, either las rifle or t-21 yet. I'm Mon Calamari, so I have a huge mind pool, good mind regen and access to mind buffs as well, but even with a power up, there's no way i could do enough damage to live on Dath.

What is the disadvantage to conceaql shot, besides it being kind of slow and taking a lot of mind?

i have 2 T21's, one is for grinding and one is for pvp.

The one im using for this grind is max damage of 450 or something like that, 5.5 speed and 77 mind cost (but with all the food im constantly gluttoning myself on mind cost is 5 per special)

Nope I don't use conealshot that much more now either now that I am growing in my rifleman skills. It goes like so, hs3,hs3,hs3 and if I don't have their mind pool down to the point where the 3rd shot is going to kill drop'em I switch to conceal shot and fire away. Keep in mind that this is quenkers I am hunting, gotta love these mutant rats!

here's a little tip from a satisfied master rifleman.......go to lok..the droideka dungeon.....aka. droid engineer camp on the POI....the cave is full of droids.,...and each droideka will give you 4-5k on each kill..and yes....load up wif bivoli and muon..and some fishak..and you can do half the cave in 2 muon gold rounds....easy to get the targets..and you dont have to go around looking for em.....i gathered 800k rifle exp in 6 hours of straight grinding once.....this is the ultimate way top lvl rifleman.......and its pretty dang easy.....cave repspawns each 1.5 hours.....so you can gather up so much exp =) some ppl do rancors on dath...which gives you 5k per rancor...but you save alot of time when being at one static spawn...and wif constant spawns....youll be sure to have a easy grind....other caves are also encouraged....loads of exp there =)

I remember going to dathomir on a guild hunt. A gaping spider attacked our group and well 2 people cloned. They were a lot harder then. Guess the old combat system wasn't dynamic enough... (Solo fighting is never about dynamic - it's about having a good plan for your skills and flawless execution.)

The question is: What rifles are you all using to make this work? There are no T21's on Tarquinas so that is not an option. What sort of max damage/speed are you talking about on these rifles? I shoot 3 times, then they come tear me a new hole... I do not think this theory works so well without uber guns...

with the conceal shot u can take down an AT-ST on your own, IF you are patient enough. That without a single shot back from the AT-ST. Actually with any NPC, but the animals, it works.

I'm a starting BH, and grinding my way through the Investigation branch where I have to kill armored, agressive NPC's with 10k HAM and special moves. Thx to the conceal shot I've weakened them enough to enjoy my other weapons on him when I though fit.

To some it may seem to be a dirty trick, unfair fight, but I'm playing a paid assasin, and I also don't think any sniper in real life continues the fight once he is discovered unless he has no other way out.

So don't underestimate the conceal shot.

i'm just starting my way up the rifleman tree but so far i've found quenkers really arent that tough if ya get even a decent t-21 go prone and open fire. sure they probably charge me but i whip out my trusty spraystick and they're dead before they really damage me.

I guess I am the only dumbarse that lvls against STs LOL.

the gun i have is a laser rifle, 51-492. not UBER by any means. quenkers are not tough, no matter what gun you have.

i'm gonna try that droid cave today....hopefully it's as good as the post says!
