Thread: Example of how slow mastering is
Easy they already mastered another profession and have 400K combat XP laying around.
Starting rifleman as a 0-0-0-3 rifleman is easy.
Sosus, ill tell you one trick...
look, first thing is speed, so get powerups and slices.
second thing is buffs, brandy is a must
third, Dath is a bad choice, to way powerful mobs and low xp reward, change to dantooine.
Get a pet, a lot of pet stimps andgroup with it.
Invest all the points you have in countersniping until you get flushing shot 2. (AE attack that raises posture. HUGE x4 damage multiplier).
Find a quenker lair, hurtoon lair or piket lair. Avoid voritors.
Send your pet to attack the lair (at this point i would say that being a CH helps, cos you can get more resistant pets). Note that the pet is a 100% tank. He is there to make aggro all mobs and receive damg. (Kinetic resistance is great for this).
then, select one of the mobs surrounding your pet, spam flushingshot 2 until all are dead. With a speed laser rifle i have 80-440 3,9 secs and a dmg powerup i kill all the mobs in 10 secs.
So, this is how it works, you send the pet to attack the lair, so that makes all the mobs aggro the pet and even more mobs appear because of the tapping in the lair. As you are attacking with an AE, you kill them all at the same time. Cycle through targets to distribute the dmg evenly during the firing.
This means, 6 quenkers giving 3,4k xp each and another 4k for the lair, an awesome 25k xp per 10 secs. lets say 1 minute to take a good position. The reward is more or less 6k credits per mission plus resources and some CH xp also. The only cons are the pet stimms you have to spend and the possibility of having one of the mobs attacking you.
Yesterday i made the first two boxes of accuracy in two hours.
TIPS:
+get a cat, they run a lot and can follow you in a speederbike.
+find "Mob Squares"... places where you can see 4 lairs at the same timein your radar. Maskscent, enter in the centre of all of them and destroy the lairs without moving yourself from the point where you are.
+Get novice CH, that gives you the possibility to have more that one pet in your datapad and you can change pets from lair to lair to spend less stimpacks.
+Look at your spam damage. If you are doing, in average, 1000dmg, you cant kill things with more that 4k HAMs, cos they will kill your pet before you finish them. If you make 2000dmg, you can kill mobs up to 8k ham, and so on.
there are more tips, but ill let you find them
and allways remember, until master, speed is the main attribute of a gun,
Get a friend to tank for you while doing missions on yavin, youll get over 100k an hour
Sorry Axle, but no more bleeds... they dont stack and the damage they do is very low now... they got nerfed!
Now, to get the countersniping 3 box you have to do two things:
1: group hunting- slow cos you dont do as much damage as others.
2: concealshot-100% of my xp till CounterSniping 3 were from concealshot mobs till death. No more tricks, just speed and concealshot. No aiming, no accuracy, no nothing. I went 0.1.0.x to 0.1.3.x.
next step is accuracy, no doubt.
this workd for me...
Get a Master Doc to buff your pet's stamina and constitution so that they have a faster regeneration rate and to save pet stim's.
And yes there's a group benefit to gathering xp points... so the hint about leaving a pet safe in town is a good one (that unfortunately i always seem to forget to do).
