Hey all... I recently respecced to rifleman to add some ranged support to my guild. I was wondering if anyone could help me with an idea of what attacks work well, or if there is a good way to stalk or take down an oppenent. What sort of hotkeys do you recommend? I have done pistoleer and fencer, but this is my first ranged proffesion.

Well if you are only using the rifleman skills you want to set up 4 keys, Aimed shot, Headshot, startle shot, and kneecap shot.
Pretty simple, Set up aimed as your auto attack, go prone, pull with headshot, alternate headshot and startleshot.
Until they fix snipershot and conceal shot thats all there is to it.
Oh, if you get charged (you will) and are low on health switch to autottack startle shot and just let it cycle. The 3 second startle effect will prevent a single target from hitting you more than afew times a minute.

Well as you go up in skill they auto replace with the better versions.
One thing, check your startle shot. I am not sure the lower level ones do the 3 second startle effect.

Having respected to rifleman myself i have found that a good combo to go with it is pistoleer. The stoping shot tied in with advanced sniper and intimidate with a rifle is very deadly also.

Im a master BH ( respec, Flame on ), original Master rifles,plus novice smuggler, my shot combo for range mobs is, headshot, knockdown shot, critical shot, startle, and just critical it to death, I ususaly kill em with the first critical ( 77 thugs,pirates)
for non ranged, root, knockdown, critical, knee, criticals or headshots, if needed startle. thats with a 1083, 548 dps t21.
fan shot for multiple targets, lower damamge output, but kills groups faster.

I don't have that luxury. I am a master shipwright and plan on keeping that. I dropped all of my merchant to respec to rifleman. I got bored with ground combat after space, but my pilot guild occaisonally has some "ground ops" so I thought rifles lookeed like fun.
