As the title says I am in need of some help. I am a Master Rager first and foremost. I have picked-up and dropped rifleman more tmes than I can remember. I keep going back because of the conceal shot. It allows me to hunt the way I like, solo with a droid harvestor, and still be a viable threat out there in the wild. Currently I am back to 1-1-1-1, I don't grind so looking to master in the next 6 months really.

Some fiends want to do the vette or other dungeons that are in my opinion not well suited to Las Rifle/T21 that I currently tote around with me. I havea spraystick and a nice Ion Rifle, but neither of these seem to be able to do much in the way of helping like the occational deathblast from the t-21. Ihave a 2 and 3 /aim macro setup with mindshot, butwith thespeed at which battles move/change by the time my shot goes offthe target maybe either dead/close to death. End result is I feel inadequate.

Iam beginning to feel that (as I type this up) I should just hold off on theseclaustrophobic dungeons until I get higher up in the tree.If you have advice one way or another it would be appreciated.

in the corvette and the dwb you will not be the primary damage dealer until you gain a lot of speed. A speed attachement (+25 at your level) would help immensly but the 25-30 mill it would cost is probably prohibitive).

I would suggest ditching the /aim's as they just slow you down and really the targets in the corvette and dwb don't dodge that many shots. The t-21 even though slow or a dxr6b would be your best bet in there. Use flushing shot 1 and flurry shot 1 to place dizzy and stun on your targets - that will help your friends more then anything if you can get it to stick. If the state sticks then switch to mindshot2 for a bleed and then spam that headshot2.

you would be best off avoiding them until you are higher level but if you do not if you follow what I said you should be able to contribute more then just tagging along.

Grind out master rifleman with a speed sliced, then dmg sliced spraystick using pointblankarea on a lair. Takes a few buff sets.

Ya I ran it similar kind of things as a new Rifleman/Ranger that wanted to something else once in a while. Use the DPS calulator in FAQs and look over what you can buy. Think speed slices. Damage sliced spraysicks and mindshots are better than you would think. A krayted (one tisue, I.E. cheap) E11 with a speed slice can out DPS a Laser Rifle. I know very little about any other combat proff but I've seen dudes with powerhamers wacking the mind pool of big lizards... maybe you can team up with one of your guys and do a nice "hit one pool at the same time and watch him drop like a rock" kinda thing.

Stun and dizzy are very good
