thnx a lot for the advice. I'll give it a bash.
not long before I ran out of cash I hit the Geo caves on yavin and got a good amount of CH and rifle xp just sitting in the front section of the cave killing the two geo's that spawn there.
I am wearingsliced comp armor(with ubese helm) and even with neutron pixie and brandy buffs things like mountain squills, quenkers bull ronto's and even bocatts still wipe me out.
when i examine them I always see the same thing...
3 red stars and "this creature looks like instant death"
am i missing something or doing something wrong here?
my current classes are CH 2/0/0/2, novice rifleman(but i have qualified for 1 of the first three skills in the tree), master scout, brawler 3/0/0/0, medic 1/0/0/2, artisan 4/2/1/1, ranger 1/0/1/0
i'm gonna have to drop my brawler and artisan as i need the skill points.

Gawzeera,
You're not doing anything wrong, they con that way because you are still low on the rifleman skill set. As you level up that con message will change. I personally never really paid much attention to what the con message said. Instead I would target and hover my mouse over the ham bars to find out the strength there. If it was something I felt I could handle, I'd attack it. If I died or got incapped, I'd know I was wrong and avoid them for the time being. If I won, I'd add them to the target list.
And since you have some CH skills, bear in mind that you can single pull even BAF critters by using mindshot to put a bleed on them and then backing out to around 75, 80m. When the DOT ticks, they will come running they will be alone. You can send you pet to pin them and then finish them with headshots.
Good luck and good hunting.

do 4-0-0-0 first.
you need the accuracy to actually hit your target.
some people say countersnipe first but i didn't find those attacks to be so hot.
i used head hit 3 because its only one bar so mobs go down faster. all other attacks are random so you have to chew through action and health to kill.
best thing is to get level 99 huurton stalker missions (10k payout) kill the top level spawn and walk out about 200m. come back and do the top spawn and the lair.
on two lairs thats about 150-160k at a time.
get a spd sliced t21 and some speed pu's and you'll be done in no time.

My opinion here is to get an AOE attack asap. I went to rifle 2-0-0-X...then to 2-0-3-X to get the AOE attack
here is the benifit..take the sennex cave for example...just line all those little pesky spawns in a straight line and fire away..take down as many as you want that way
btw - the AOE area attacks are flurryshot2 and flushingshot2. If you have enough combat XP saved up...
go to 4-0-0-3 instead
