If you are a master rifleman you don't need to concealshot them. You can either spam headshot3 and take them out one at a time or spam strafeshot2 and kill them all. With strafeshot2 they will all die in a cuple seconds, usually before they get a chance to hit you back.

good info guys, keep it coming
few comments or answers: right now i have every thing a pvper could want: spices, always buffed, brandy, vercupti, canape, synth, thak, stun armor, psgs, and stims. the template i would be doing is master rifleman, tk 4404, fencer 4440 and novice medic. that should boost my state defenses a bit and give me FOW which is an awesome ace to have up your sleeve.
by the way, if i start rifleman, i will have 300k combat xp stored up, so i will be able to go to 0003 right off the bat! should help my speed a bit

I solo enraged rancors a lot, but I use my pike instead. Its a lot faster for me to have 5 or 6 gang up on me while I use my pike area attacks. I can usually handle 5 or 6 at a time if I have buffs. Every once in a while I'll get down to 1/2 HAM and put on my ubese, with armor I don't even see my bars move. I only really use conceal shot if my buffs run out, but even then it is almost easier to pull one with a bleed and autoattack it with my pike while wearing armor. My health and action sub stats are all at the lowest so any specials when I'm not buffed hurt like hell.
With melee defense, COB, melee mitigation, buffs and armor a melee master can handle almost anything in the game. With counterattack or dodge they are really set (stupid block and 1/2 dmg
.) The exceptions I've seen are nightsister elders (back when they had force powers, now that they use tka only they are easy) and the corvette mission.

They don't need to. Ever see a TKM at work on those lairs? He can do 5 lairs in the time it takes you to do one with /concealshot.
