Thread: What should I get first? Headshot3 or Flushingshot2?
If you use MS1, MS2, then peace and throw a single grenade you get full credit for the kill as combat xp. This works with any weapon skill you are trying to raise. As long as the only non-bleed damage comes from the source you want to grind, you get full credit.
Kill a fambaa like this, you get almost 5k combat xp, not that it's easy mind you! The bleed nerf actually made this a lot easier. 
Once I got FanShot in the pistoleer tree, the xp really started rolling in. I grouped all the time with creature handlers and we mopped up.
I fully intend to get Flushing2 as soon as possible for this very reason. Area effect shots make getting experience so much easier... and its a random HAM attack which is very group friendly.

Accuracy helps some, but nowhere near as much as speed, plus Dizzy. Go 1003 first. The speed makes and incredible difference, and the Dizzy helps anincredible amount against NPCs. The speed increase also makes T21's a lot more viable a weapon in autofire mode
that would be ideal, but unless you start off rifle with a lot of excess combat exp, by the time you have enough, you'll also have enough for several boxes in the other lines
