My holocron told me to master rifleman...yay

So...anyone care to point me in the direction of some decent hunting grounds?

Thanks.

One of my holocrons told me to master rifleman. I had 300k combat banked so upon leveling to novice rifleman, I was ready to train the first 3 rifle speed boxes. This made things really easy and I mastered this profession in two weeks. If you have the combat exp saved, you'll do well.

IMO (not yet a master), I'd go for Mindshot 2 first off. Unless you can sustain MASSIVE mental drains, don't go for Headshot 3, unless you need the accuracy given with the same box.

Riflemen tend to function better if they aim between every shot (at least at low levels).

Mindshot 1 and Mindshot 2 stack, so get two massive bleeds on TOUGH stuff and let them bleed from their ears. As I think most know, if you bleed from 63 meters then run to say 120 before they start taking damage, they won't agro on you and you can let them bleed to where they should die. Close in and finish with a single Headshot1.

The best xp in rifleman comes in when you get the AE shots. that's at -/-3/- and -/-/-/3 to start. If you can use grenades to get PURE combat xp from kills, it would probably be worth your while to get to 0/0/0/3 before you do anything else. that's one of our best AEs. I think the -/-/-/4 one is even better (not sure).

Don't forget the 4x melee damage, if something closes, loose the rifle or die....

Melee damage is only 2.5x, unless they changed it. Also, in PvP, watch out for commandos. Their weapons do melee damage. Bad poodoo...

this is the quickest way to go. the first thing to get is conceal shot. then go to dantooine and do picket plains walker missions, 4k per kill, and unless you get within 20m they dont aggro you at all....I have went from novice to master super quick this way. doesn't matter which skills you get form there, you will be using conceal shot only until master rifleman. trust me this works. and is decent money too.

jut get mission, go prone 50m from lair, and pick off each picket one at a time. use muon gold to keep mind up. I use a laser rifle.

Someone else posted this before and thought you might find it useful. But it requires creature handlers skills. Preferrably with at least a graul mauler. If you have these skills, you'll get to master in a flash following this method.

Get to expert counter-sniping as quickly as possible for flushing shot 2. Then go to dantooine and do picket missions. Sick your pet on the lair, letting everything take agro on the pet. Then spam flushing shot 2 which is a powerful area effect shot. You'll get maximum xp and everything will die in a flash. The xp is insane and a very quick rate. Just make sure you have a bunch of pet stims to speed things up.
