Rifleman Archive

hi
ok i realize ill probably get some flaming for this but i personaly play mainly solo and find it more enjoyable than group hunting which is rarely very well planed and someone normaly ends up getting everyone killed
[groupleader:'tap the lair once!' followed by screaming as someone decides to nuke it and 6 rancor pop out sound familiar? hehe]

anyway my question is this now that smugler root is being 'fixed' in the next publish what will be the best purely pve solo template to use my final respec on
i only have one requirement and thats that i keep master rifles as its the profesion i have had for almost 2 years and the only profesion ive realy ever wanted to do in the game

if possibal please include tactics or pointers on how to use your sugested template
thanks for your time
soho

The keys to soloing seem to be with the abilities
Master Rifleman is good, but add in Cripple Shot or Charge Shot from Carbineer and it becomes more effective.
Stopping Shot from Pistoleer will give you a few extra shots without having to give up ground.
BH will give you a KD, bleed, a great defensive stance, some good weapon certs and some nifty general mods.
Go Combat Medic and you can really screw around with your target (though its kinda SP heavy, unless you're already into Medic)
Medical skills of some sort are good as well, even if its just to decrease the downtime between kills (I'm far to fidgety to wait for regen)

My Template, with points left over, is Master Rifleman, x44x Carbineer, x4x4 Pistoleer, Novice Medic and I can solo level 82s without ever being hit.

Aim, Stopping Shot, Leg Shot, Head Shot, Leg Shot, Head Shot, Cripple Shot, Alternate Head/Leg Shot and if they get close or warp onto you, use Charge Shot.

Works for me.
