I'm going to go crazy, besides them and torturs, they seem to be the only creatures higher lvl Rifleman can hunt effeciantly for good exp, for people who are masters and such, what did you hunt to grind your way up besides the two aformentioned creatures?
I know how you feel, except it was with, jaxes and baz nitches. Baz nitches were just horrible, since they werent slow. I probably playued like 10 hours a day XPing, now i play like 2-3 hours a day becuase the grind is over, and half my guild still arent masters.
Guess I can spill the beans since I'm through hunting them anyway. If you're a new Rifleman and are looking for something relatively simple to solo, the best monsters I've ever seen aaaaaaarrre:
Feral Banthas, on Tatooine, usually found North of Wayfar.
They do NOT swarm.
They're only slightly faster than the average player.
They are killers, so don't die near one.
There are regular Banthas, Tusken Banthas, Dune Banthas, and Domesticated Banthas. They all suck. Feral Banthas are a blessed gift to Riflemen everywhere. They net about 800-1000 XP a kill and only take 3-6 Headshots to drop (depends on the quality of your weapon).
They are also excellent Scout XP for harvesting.
Go prone andHeadshot away. You do not need to bleed them; they won't live long enough to bleed. Be prepared to run or use Warning Shot / Suppression Fire if they charge and you don't have them pretty close to dead. A Spraystick will help a lot in these kind of emergencies.
Feral Banthas randomly spawn, so wander around a bit. If you find a lair (Rocky Shelter type), you've got yourself an easy 20KXP that involves almost no kiting and no swarming monsters to deal with.
Or you could hunt snorbals...
which dont BAF
Arent faster then the average player
Aren't killers
and give 1.5-4k exp
Can a rifleman with only Expert Rifle in the marksman tree do Snorbals or GBN solo? I can minshot1 & run, but will I get the xp? I have a laser rifle 6.7sec recharge 337 or so max damage, I am not sure on teh chance to hit. Thanks!

GBN have 10k mind so killing them without mindshot2 takes a while. You have to hit a mob at least once with a non bleedattack and be within 64m to get the exp when it dies. You really need warning shot as well to do GBN.
I heard that Nyms now BAF.
