with conceal shot can you take out stuff like fambaas, without them attacking you, since they dont attack in groups. theoretically this should work, if so xp will be a walk in the park from now on, lemme know if i should get conceal shot or not. right now i'm 1 0 1 1.

well it sort of. I think the social creatures still attack you if you hit one of their friends with conceal shot. I read in the combat changes that they are planning to fix that but who knows when that will happen

When you use concealshot you need to be atleast 40m away and then spam it. If you miss once the creature finds you and your dead. It dosent work on creatures that pack or groups of a mob because they help each other and track you down. Also if your attacking something and some1 else fights too it will see you. The most useful thing to use it on are Fambaas. In theory it is possible to solo Krayt dragons and such but it would take about 1 full hour of spamming and regening you mind pool + hoping they dont agro on you while your fireing.

Conceal shot works very well! I am a Master Ranger so I have good creature to hit bonuses, and I have 2 boxes on the sniping tree so I have good aim and accuracy modifiers. I have dropped solo 2 ...... Not going to tell you because you wont believe it and the devs will nerf the skill if too many people start doing it. But here is how I work it. I crawl up to a non social creature, does not really matter the size, but it does need to be standing still. I get within 60-65 meters, then take cover. Next I spam /aim and /concealshot and repeat. Doing this I have gotten offliteraly hundreds ofshots in a row without 1 miss. Only thing I have missed on was a tusken warlord, maybe because I dont have the same to hit bonus because it is not a creature. This skill has changed the game for me, but you need to be very patient with the big creatures.

Oh yeah, I do this with a Laser and a T-21. I use Muan Gold spice if it is a large creature, this way I can spam for 10 min without mind loss. I usually use armor but if the kill is going to take a long time I shed it to increase my regen rate.

RebalMarineHunter, that to hit mod only works with normal attacks, it dosent work with skills like conceal shot.

I almost took out an ATST with it. I would have finished it all the way off, but an imp commando walked up and killed me. I made a post on it a while back...

Well, people have explained how it works. Here is why you wont use it:]


The multiplier is low. I think maybe 1.5 if that. The ham is high, so, you will use a lot of spice or you are killed by your gun. For mobs that would not be killed in a fewhead shots (lay prone, you get 3 free ones on non socials), it would take, well, a hella long time. Oh, and don't miss:]


Here is how I fight non socials. Prone. Mind shot 1. Mind shot 2. If needed repeat any low mind shots for third hit. For monsters, hit warning shot. For humanoids, stand up and move out of range. When they start shooting, move back to 66 meters again (while they go prone) and wait/heal. Takes abotu 1 min to kill a 10k mob and you have no down time without spending money on spices.

Aye...


I have soloed AT-ST (Rebel faction missions) with it before.


I do have to use spice.


I do have to peace about 2/3 of the way threw and heal my self of action and health.


I do have to be prone cause if I miss I am dead.


I do have to use a T21.


I do have to be a Master Rifleman.


I tried the above tatics at less than master and it would have taken 2 years to kill, now it only takes 3-4 min .


95% of the time i try using conceal shot though... A buddy of the thing I am shoot at notices from 100 M away and jumps my sorry butt.
