I always use a MaskScent/T-21/Laser/Spraystick combo for everything.

Mask Scent usually enables you to get your two bleed shots off and get a head start against fast creatures in the running game. So if you have it, use it.

I use the T-21 for a good and powerfull first shot, laser is much much quicker so use it as your second shot to reduce agro and long delay time.

1 Get at optimum range, Take out T-21 and mindshot2

2 Take out Laser and MindShot1

3 Take out Spraystick and enforce and control with supression fire followed by WarningShot/Peace cycle until taget is completly dead.

This is the technique i used up until master and i still use is often now.

Owen-Lars, I'm about to enter this profession, and I've got a few questions for you.

1) Why do you use MindShot1 when you have MindShot2? Does 1 have a different effect over 2 or what?

2) Why do you throw in a Peace command? Does this affect the timer?

I'm new to the profession, and I'm just looking for help.

Thanks!!

If you shoot a critter with Warning Shot and make it turn and run...and then shoot it again with another Warning Shot while it's running away, it will turn around and come back towards you.

So generally I take out the Stick That Sprays(tm) and spam Warning Shot until the critter turns. As SOON as he turns and starts running away, I spam Peace to keep from firing again.

deffintly get a t21, either sort of slice works fine, imo. the heavy armor piercing makes all the difference.

Given two slices (one damage and one speed) at the same percent change, you will find that the average damage per second (DPS) increase for either slice is exactly the same. That is, an 35% damage slice will raise the DPS by 35% by raising the average damage 35% over the same time frame. On the other hand, the 35% speed slice will raise the DPS by 35% by hitting for the current average damage 35% more often. Thus, it is a matter of taste as to whether you want hit 35% harder per hit or 35% faster. This changes, however, when you hit the speed cap. Additional weapon speed will not affect the DPS when you hit the cap because you cannot fire faster than 1 shot per second no matter what. At that point, you want damage slices.
