Did not know that. How does this work if you have say 2-3 riflemen? Can we all bleed it?

I only see them stacking with each other. I remember reading that it reapplies the bleed if using the same shot on top of itself, but does not stack like 1 and 2 do. I could be wrong, but when ever group I pick one and let the other shoot the other.

Swiller brought up a good point that I forgot to mention:

-- If you re-hit one mindshot over another (MS1 on top of MS1, or MS2 on top of MS2) then the HIGHER one sticks. So if I hit a MS1 for 900 and then another MS1 for 700, the 900 stays. But if I hit for 700, then 900, the 900 takes over. (MS1 will never affect MS2 or vice versa).

-- Also, in case you didnt know yet, you do NOT get any XP if you do not hit the MOB with some other shot. So lately I have taken to doing this:
1. Fire Mindshot2 (watch combat window to make sure it hits, if not fire another MS2)
2. Fire Headshot2 (watch combat window to make sure it hits, if not, fire another HS2)
3. Fire Mindshot1 (same thing)

Usually at least two of the shots will hit first time. If you are incredibly unlucky and two or more of the shots MISS the first time, the MOB will probably be heading straight for your arse. Time for warning shots.

But, now snorb's dont appear on mission terminal, apparently, Dev's think that this should be gone...

jeez lets just remove anything at all that remotely rewards players ... jeez

I gave your post 5 stars!! Great stuff. Also, if you dont want to go insane fighting the same thing, learn about different creatures, or consult your strat guide (it still has some use left) figure out which creatures dont pack, are slow and with a high xp yield. But, the very, very best and funnest xp harvesting in my opinion is if you can find a good CH buddy. Nothing is better than sitting safely prone while some dumb big pet takes all the abuse and you're landing 1k+ shots at your liesure. If I remember correctly, group xp is based on the damage done to the mob, and your doing most of the damage with the Cannon (i.e. t21). Those little pistols have nothing on our weaponry, not even speed (trust me, you're going to get much faster with that rifle). Me and the boys like 13k missions on Dantooine. Lots of xp, lots of creds for purchasing better toys.

I've been reading some pretty incredible stories about xp yields for snorballs, but grind was never faster and more enjoyable for me personally than going out hunting with friends.

Yes... Mind bleeds stack. Take it from me, 3/1/0/2 in rifleman tree, it's pretty much the only way to go. They do NOT add together and take one big number off of the MOB, they each work independent of each other.

FOR Example, I am attacking a large HAM MOB:
----------------------------------
-- I hit with Mindshot 2 for 1500
-- five seconds later I hit with Mindshot 1 for 900
-- Nothing happens with the origninal hits... have to wait for 'first tick'
-- Approx. 20 seconds later, MOB loses 1500
-- five seconds after that, MOB loses another 900...
-- cycle repeats till dead.
