That's a Krayt Dragon Ancient, taken down by me and a couple of pets.

That doesn't mean a thing.

In most PvE and PvP, you don't get the luxory of being able to conceal shot your target for 40 minutes, then finish it off with your pet.

Everyone automatically assumes I used Conceal Shot on that Krayt? If you try that on my server, someone's gonna steal your kill and loot within 5 minutes. Any experienced Rifleman knows that Conceal Shot is crap. I don't really see why people hate Creature Handlers, either. The only way to survive using rifles is knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Rifles are a SUPPORT role, meaning you have to have tanks or cannon fodder taking the hits. This is true for larger PvP battles, and almost any PvE situation. I use my pets as tanks for PvE, and Pistoleer/BH/Commandos for cannon fodder in PvP.

No, that is why creature handlers don't suck.

The only time I loose duels is against composite wearing bh's. And in PvE rifleman rock, especialy with those AoE attacks. I'm only a novice rifleman yet I usualy get the most XP and looting rights when I hunt in groups.

If you didn't used conceal shot, then instead of being smug why don't you tell us how you solo'ed the ancient Krayt?

There is no CH pet that can solo one of these thing without getting killed. I know people with 3 AT-STs that killed these things, and almost lost one in the process.

So if you didn't sit there and conceal it for 2 hours, how did you solo it?

And why do I have a feeling that this guy's going to end up saying "Riflemen don't suck if you have 3 AT-STs"?

I have soloed 3 Krayt using conceal shot, had 4 others kill stealed by imps, but I did manage to get 3. It is boring, but also very cool to do a few times with patience. Conceal shot is not "crap", it is a skill that allows you to do things that others cant. A BH cant solo a krayt, nor can a commando. I am4,2,3,3 Rifleman and a Master Ranger. I have become a fight to nearly any non buffed player, and a buffed one if I am as well. I can solo many lairs without pets using AOE attacks and traps. The class is very difficult in the beginning, but at the 1/2 way point things really start to change. I am very pleased with how things are now.
