Thread: 350K till Master Rifle: Thank the Maker
I am posting this for the good of Riflemen since its gonna be nerfed soon anyways so why not take advantage while you can.
On Dantooine there are missions that you will need a good group to get. They are Kunga Leader Camps. These camps will have 2-3 MOBS (Careful while few they hit hard so you will need big pets) and there is no respawn. Also the missions pay 35K.
Yesterday I was getting 3-4k experience off each.We had a group of 8 plus pets and throughout the day I made 300k credits and 400K Rifle exp. I am not kidding. this was over about5-6 hours period.
Funny thing is i needed 400k to get Master. I was thinking this would take me a few weeks to get. Lo and behold after the exp here we just grinded all the way. Friends were making about 1k creature handling exp per kill as well. I'm not sure how much but one of the guys got 3 skill boxes filled over our time there.
Hope this helps some of you.
Good ones to use if your a novice and not a master is bleed then mind. or even flushing shot running."
Bleeding mind on BAF-Creatures ?
What do i do wrong ? When i trie to bleed a BAF-Creature, it's Friends will instantly attack (thats te meaning of BAF, right ?) - So for me it's suicide.
When i make one shot and run away, i wont get the XP as it's too far away when dying.
It's not a big problem on BAF-Creatures with low HAM (something about 2k-3k), as i manage to cycle and shoot HS, MS on them fast enough before they melee me to death, but a 10k-Picket ? - Now way, i must be doing something wrong....
Pretty much anything over 10k ham will get you 3-4k per... pickets are good, have your pet distract them for a sec while you kill..
Im a 1/0/2/1 Rifleman and a 2/2/0/0 CH. I can solo defiler missions on Dathomir. 6 defilers spawn on each mission and they give me 4k xp each, also the lair gives around 4k. Using a mountain squill and some muon gold I can solo the mission. I use a DLT20a for mindshot1 and 2 then a T21 for headshots2. I use a 33mind/16mindam powerup. The xp is nice and the 20k reward is also helpful. Only risk is that if you get signifcantly delayed (attacked by **edit** singing moutain clan jerks) your downer will hit before you finish but this rarely happens to be. Obviously you need a good pet to do this but its good money/xp untill CH is nerfed and I won't be able to use a mountian squill at 2/2 CH.

Just for your question as to why. Well I bought this game just right after it went puplic and went pistoleer instantly. Well I checked out the forums and saw that riflemen were a pretty good profession. In fact it was the only way to one shot kill people at the time. Also the dmg that could be done in PvE was extremely high. But what really hooked me was the idea of sniping people. In fact I went to anchorhead many times and stood outside the town and sniped people. I had about a 10 to 1 kill ratio. Then came the 75% nerf to dmg in PvP. Instead of making 100's of FPs I was now making only about 100 or so in PvP per day. Sniping people is almost impossible now and due to the bugs its very hard to keep going.
I still think we riflemen are great in PvE. All they need to do is fix the warping and that will solve our biggest PvE problem. As for PvP we are a totally gimped class. If you are travelling with a group then PvE is tough because usually everyone is using pistols or carbines. Our mind shots are worthless in groups. The only way I accell in PvP is by ambushing people.
My one hope is that I master my class and then the bugs wont really matter. I will be fast enough and powerfull enough to finally compete against other players. So to put it bluntly novice riflemen suck and master riflemen are definate competition for other classes.

a rock beetle versus a Picket, right? OK
Pet stims.
I can take three pikets at a time with a beetle and petstim-C. Assist coding is screwy so you can easily pull 1-3 pikets from a lair, and female piket longhorns aren't social so you can get easy exp from a lair of those if there aren't any other types around.
