i use master rifleman/master Swordsman combo, with that u can either have novice medic and master brawler for the intim 2 which i had for awhile also u get an increase of +5 to swords with master brawler which speeds you up a lot. and the power hammer is good against certain nightsisters. i usally find nightsisters that i can't use swords on eg. they have 100% kenetic and blast i tend to us ethe rifle. krayt dragons are a tricky thing i would say use swords on them also although for u to do maximum damage you would have to have someone along with you to tank so that u could strafeshot 2 the krayt.
so u could have either master swords/Master rifleman/master brawler and novice medic which was good although the heals were quite bad.
or you could drop everything brawler and get medic 2-4-4-0 so that you can heal bleeds and use stimpack Ds which are very nice.
and u got a quite a few skill points left to get force sensitive boxes or get scout with terrain or something..i guess that would be left up to ur choosing 
well there is my post not very well structured but hey ive been awake for almost 24 hours now

The important thing is the "help" 
,
, I was thinking to make MRifle, MMarks, pistols xx44 and maybe fencer4xxx and medic 3x3x.... im not going alone to the ns, most of the time if not always, ill have a "tank" anda mdoc around me.
Cheers

Anying you get with master rifleman asside from a crafting professtion should be good in both pve and pvp. I am MRM/TKM pistols 0040 medic 2000 and smug 0010.
You could get MRM/Masterswords pistols 0040 and medic 0040 and you'll be able to kill elders with 85+ armor

currently master rifle,master tk medic 2x4x and pistol xx3x(no need for kd deff-i use food).
elders can be solod,either by kiting,by concealing and sometimes(^^) by tanking-intimidate is your friend,but in 20% of my elder tanking actions,they hit me with force for 3-5,3 k damage...

Depends on what you're hunting.
Currently:
Master Rifleman - Master Smuggler -
FS Skills - Ranged Accuracy IV - Ranged Speed IV - Melee Defense IV - Ranged Defense IV - Luck IV - Melee Speed IV
Master Rifleman:
Allows me to use both the T-21 and DXRB-6 of which I own several Krayted versions of for maximum damage output against most creatures/NPC's in the game. With the added bonuses of speed and accuracy as well as a wide-variety of specials that do come in handy depending on what you're hunting.
Master Smuggler:
Feign Death is always good if you get caught between a rock and a hard place with NS Elders. You can Feign at a higher success rate with Master and it's always good to be able to slice your own rifles and armor. That way, if you get a crap slice, it isn't anyone's fault but your own...and you can be certain that some noob isn't going to make off with your 4 million credit high-damage T21.
FS Skills:
Ranged Speed is broken, but Melee Speed covers both apparently. I picked up Melee Speed first and then Ranged Speed just in case they ever get around to fixing what is broken. Ranged Accuracy I really can't tell a difference with, as I am capped on both skill-given mods and tapes equaling to +25 with both accuracy and accuracy while moving. Luck is something I picked up with the intention of looting any given mob. Popular belief is that Luck effects credits and nothing else.
Well...if you look in my bank, the sheer amount of Premium pearls and crystals from a one month span of hunting as well as multiple color crystals, skill attachments, loot items and skill modded weapons tells me something different.
The best template though that I've found through experimenting if your sole purpose is to hunt NS Elders and Krayts is:
Master Rifleman - Master Swordsman - 4-0-0-0 TK {for meditate} and some medic if you can run it with your skill points.
Another popular combination is Master Rifleman - Master Doctor. Buffing yourself on the fly as well as being able to use super-stims {Stim-E} is probably one of the best things I've seen, though it doesn't really give you any defenses versus stun, dizzy, blind or knock-down that is worth bothering about.
