this is a great perplexation to me.


i have a lvl 14 pet, donated by a friend, and i end up taking out the mountain dewbacks, mountain worrts, greater desert womp rats, and other medium type creature that is behind the mos eisly cantina. i hope this isnt all i can do solo without having to get some ch skills. (makes me think that i need to get a good pet tank to get steady xp)


my pet barely survives...lol


How do most riflemen here solo? (concealshot is not that dependable, all creatures in the mob rush you,except the one you are shooting)


and keep in mind, my server is one that hasn't had the good graces to get the t-21 (no rainbow gems). plus i like soloing better than getting ripped off more xp in a group, i shoot really, really slow hehe.


let me tell you something, you never really appreciate the pistol until you try the rifle. lol

When you use conceal shot ATM you have to pick out MOB's that are seperated from the pack.A fix is planned where you can use concealed shot on pack MOB'swithout the rest of the group going agrro on you.


Also if I were you I would grind out The Rifle Speacial abilities tree since it just takes combat XP wich is easy to get if you have C-12 gernades.


Third you can't do any quick grinding without AOE attacks so go up the "gunner" tree first.


Thats the best tips I have to offer.

The accuracy tree is very important but it isn't going to allow you to solo quickly.


Headshot3 has its place. The high ham cost makes it very limited use. But if your target is mind drained it is a quick way to end a fight in a hurry. But using it to destroy the mind of a target from full health takes too long and takes too much ham. The shots from the Spec Abilities and the AE affects from the "Gunner" or 3rd skill tree that do random pool damage are much more useful in gaining xp. Also those shots will work better in group situations because you won't be working on a completely different ham pool than the rest of the group.
