Ok, I'm a master dancer and a master marksman at the moment. I was looking at the elite ranged weapon professions, and initially chose rifles. I like rifle for its long-range "suprise" PvE aspect. As a dancer, my health attribute isn't the greatest, and making fights end fast is very nice. I'm 0301 in rifle and starting to have doubts.
The reasons:
1) Well, as a dancer, I spend alot of times in cantinas. Imperial stormtroopers now do, also, and even across a full room, I have a substantial negative modifier to hit. How much will this change when I level up further? What's the best short-range rifle out there (to be used in this area)
2) As a dancer, I give ALOT of mind buffs before battle, but I'm one of the few non-buffed people going on the raid (we can't "entertain" ourselves). even with food, in the current PvP environment, can I even stand a chance?
3) I have sufficient mind reserves, but as a dancer, my forte is agility. Would it be better for me to seek a profession (pistols) that uses more agility-based special attacks? Most pistol fights seem to turn into bloody matches, and my health's not that high. Rifle seems to turn into mind drain engagements...
Any advice is welcome

A good Spraystick with a decent damage slice and a powerup will have under 2 speed and over 300 damage. (my own is 289 damage 1.7 speed but I only got a 22% damage slice)
Basically a pistol. Fast energy damage no ap... ham costs aren't high.. and very good at short range.
Pistols work just fine at long range 
so that'd work as well
so that'd work as wellEdited for a typo...

Get a good defense stack, skills in pistoleer(4-0-4-0) /fencer (4-0-4-0)combined with master rifleman.
1.) almost impossible to KD.
2.) excellent manuervors vs. any melee class with rifle.

I think the point was that they liked being a dancer but wanted to add some combat abilities to protect themselves and occasionally hunt. Would the defense stack which wont work soon enough be something that she/he could even do and maintain dancer?
