I'm currently MBH, MRifles, MM. I love rifles and will never leave them (they can provide essentially artillery support, which is great).
I'm thinking of dropping BH entirely. The specials are nice, and the general ranged bonuses are pretty damn good, but essentially I'm just a pure combat monkey (which has it's good sides, I'll admit).
I'm completely at a loss for what to take as another profession. Ideas I've had are Smuggler (for concussion shot), Squad Leader (for grouping - as guild leader it would look good), Carbineer (with the +15m range arms, this essentially replaces the range of rifles, and has some good crowd control). I don't like Pistols as much as they are too close range. I'm looking for something that would compliment Rifleman, but provide a bit more variety in the game, but at the same time work well with rifleman. As I said I've got the +15m arms, which puts Combat Medic completely out of the picture, and creature handler is broken (and they wouldn't keep the aggro either).
I went further down the line of thought, and wondered about what exactly I liked about rifles in particular - and it was Sniper Shot and Conceal/Conceal Shot. I've seen ALRs out there that are far better than my T21, so I know I'll not be put out for damage. If so, I quite like the Squad Leader or Smuggler.
On the other hand, I could drop rifles to pick up something other professions that would compliment each other better - MSL, CM 4xxx, MPistols for example as a really really nice support role.
I'm just very confused, can anyone offer me advise or their experiences of any combinations?
Just thinking about it, MSL, MRifles, CM 4xxx would be pretty good, as I like conceal shot, but once I've pulled the critter for the group to bash to bits, I'll need to move around anyway. And with no minimum ranges, there's no reason why I can't. Plus SLs get a pistol (though my pistol skills won't be all that).
Does anyone have any experience of any of these combinations? Or can give advice as to which work well together?
