Thread: What level Rifleman do you need to be to solo HOLO NPCS?
With Strafe 2 I got nearly all the drops on the Naboo Dark Trooper Base. The only other professions that could outdamage me were TKA and Commandos, and even then it was all a matter of who got there first. All of this was using an unsliced and unpowered T-21 with advanced handlers. I had plenty of time to regen my mind between spawns and had muon on the toolbar just in case. A master pistoleer once told me what the hell was I, then he noticed the Master Sharpshooter tag. Made plenty of enemies in the few days I was there.

I'm surprised no one has said this yet. Conceal shot in the first box of Concealment will let you solo any mob on the game. Just stay at max range with them in the "+" and you will never get aggro'd.
You will get nailed if you miss twice in a row (or if you miss once and have a lucky mob). So use Aim...
I've soloed kimos this way, haven't taken the time to do krayts or nightsisters, but they're on my list. I plan to get more +speed tho... and find a slicer!
At master rifle/Doc I just buff up and usually get a mind buff from a musician and I can kill any "Large Rebel Base" mission with RSMs. I use ATST only on force sensitive NPCs.
Get a good suit of armor and pay for a full set of buffs and at master you won't need to use a pet to kill faction missions.
