Does anyone have any recommendations on what my stats should be for a
novice rifleman? My mind is 500. So, when I use mind shot 2 it depletes
and I end up getting killed. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Are you a Human? The standard Mind migration for them is 1100/1100/800. The downside is that this puts every other stat at 400, so you will have to be buffed for tougher things. Basically, the way most people do it is to max out Mind, then Focus, then Willpower. If you have any points left, I suggestdistributing them evenly between Health and Action.

Thanks. I am human and I generally am not buffed (maybe this is my problem).
I found this recomendation. Does it sound right?
make sure you get 1100 mind...mine looks like this:
600 health
1100 mind
750 focus
750 willpower
500 action
400 everything else

Unfortunately with the current combat system you are basically gimped without buffs. If you have to do anything that involves combat you'd be advised to be buffed, the only exception I can think of would be quests that don't involve anything tough enough to need them such as village patrols and the like. Of course, even then if you're not able to heal yourself you might get into trouble. As easy as money is to get and as easy as it (usually) is to find a doctor I say put it all into mind, then focus, then willpower and don't do anything unbuffed.

Who does mind bufs. How much do bufs cost and how long do they last
and what does eating food do?
thanks,
Dan

Before the Chef Revamp and all the new foods came out, I used muon gold to grind rifleman unbuffed ofcourse (didn't really know what buffs did, I just went out and fought...)
Rifleman is probably the only profession you can solo hunt unbuffed with.... Dancers and Musicians buff the mind, but their buffs only last for 2 hours and they only double yourcurrent mind stats (whereas doc buffs can triple or 4X your health stats and last like 1-2 hours longer)
Since master level entertainers are sort of rare and expensive, you should use foods then to support your mind.
I would buy:
-Muon Gold (+500 Mind and to it's secondaries)
-A crate of 25 Bottles of +400 Brandy (+400 to mind and secondaries)(18 Uses Each, 40 Minutes, can take two at once....)
And if Necessary, Canape (Can range from +600 or +700 to mind secondaries for 10 minutes)
If you take these foods mind cost should be nothing...see my post about grinding also about using the right weapons and tactics.

i like to hunt unbuffed cept for chef foods so my stat migration is something along these lines
600/500/500 health bars
600/500/500 action bars
1050/650/750 (not quite sure not in game atm) mind bars
reason i did this is so i can wear composite unbuffed. Ne'la on Eclipse server makes some super light ham comp with reasonable resists 80 kinetic/63base. after slicing i see ham costs of around 350 per stat.
i added more willpower than focus because ahrisa boosts focus(which lowers ham costs from specials) and willpower regens the mind.
pop a brandy, the action drink to lower ham costs of the rifle shots, pop 2 ahrisa and the result is only ham costs i take are to my health bar, resulting in minimal healing from rifle specials while im blasting mobs. ofc i am a MCH also which means my cats are tanking the mobs while i hs3 or ss2 them down
