Hey all,

I'm certain this was probably asked before but I didn't quite pay attention. I have very, very limited points to play with, down to the line where I must choose between conceal shot and flushing shot (and I know rifleman isn't a dabbling class but I don't care, I am to fond of my rifles).

Which would you suggest? I noticed you get a bunch more mods with concealment tree, but the nature of their benefits seems dubious to me.

flushing shot 1 or 2?

2 is definatley a keeper. if just flushing 1, it is a tossuup.

I gotta question also, I hear a lot of people saying get mindshot2 and then go up the counter-sniping branch. Why is this? I like flurry shot better than flushing shot currently. Is startle shot better? or why wouldnt you just go up sniping tree for accuracy and use the specials from the combat xp branch (flurry 1 and 2)

Thanks

Mind shot two is great for soloing stacked bleeds. Countersniping then to get flushing shot two to steal all your groups exp

I was an idiot and went straight across the board with my skills, took alot longer than it should have doing it that way. But I am a CH also, so it really does not matter anyways. I can take my time.

When do I get an attack thats better for random pool hits than flurry shot 1?

thanks

with the new changes conceal will be a good addition. i have been using it very effectively for bounty hunting and taking out things like single rancors. it is not a group friendly attack tho.

but it depends on what your goal is. if you want to be effective at taking out one target very quickly and control small groups then you want mindshot2 and headshot2. mindshot 1&2 stack then headshot to add on the damage. takes out one target pretty effectively. soon as the new patch hits i am going to try mindshot2 warning shot on all the nest guards and hold em at bay with warning shot till they bleed to 1 point and apply a extra mindshot1 as i can. that tactic already works well in a group havent tried solo yet. taking out one target at a time conceal shot. flushing shot1 is not that hot of an attack.
