Hi

I've just qualifed for conceal shot, should i train in it now or wait untill i hit the cap.

thanks

Concealshot will help you take on targets that you may not be able to handle with other shots. I would go for it now, but that depends on your fighting style. It takes patience.

I guess the real question is what is your next goal and what do you currently have.

1 x x x is important because Mindshot2 stacks with Mindshot1

Most recommend gettting to x x 3 x as quickly as possible, and I agree.

I personally feel that 1 1 x x will help you get there quicker than if you did not have Mindshot2 or Concealshot. The more options you have, the more you are able to adapt.

Heres some more info

i have 1 0 0 0 at the moment.

i have a gsp to tank

am currently killing ravenours tortons on rori geting about 3k-4k per kill

i wont be geting any bigger pets than the gsp

and i want to make master as quick as possible

Work the counter sniping tree first til you get flushing shot 2 then arm yourself with a Jawa Ion Rifle and start doing lair missions. Send in the GSP onto the Lair and you yourself target the lair and start shooting it the Jawa since it is stun does not damage the lair. If a mob breaks off and heads toward you spam warning shot or have the pet engage it as it comes after you IE have pet guarding you so it will aggro inc mobs. Then work up the sniping tree til its maxed fill in the advanced rifle techniques as you can or plvlit grouping with someone and using the c12 grenade trick to max cmbt exp to raise it first for the rifle speed enhancement. Either way save the conseal line til last. At beginning lvls you wil miss more then you hit and 2-3 misses means you get aggro.

Conceal shot is overrated. I've gotten a max of 4500 xp but that took about 10 minutes and two muon golds on an ancient bull rancor. You can get more xp faster with a good tank or a good group or both.

If you solo, then you need conceal shot now. Don't go crazy with it and go for Rancors though, its too weak. Use it to kill Rontos, Banthas, Faambas, etc.

If you have a tank pet, you might try MindShot2, for the stacked bleed effect while tanking.

If you hunt with groups all the time, and they are tanking for you.. then get to 0-0-3-0 as fast as possible. I am there now, and the damage is freaking incredible. My buddy is TKA and he will run in and get all the critters aggroed at once on him and then I use Flushing Shot 2 and hit an area effect for MAJOR damage. I am talking like 4 or 5 MOBs at once, hitting all of them for ~1000 - ~2000 damage EACH on EVERY shot. We can drop an entire pack of CL30 MOBs in 30 seconds.
