Just wanted to sare the best way I've found to grind FS w/ Rifleman. I use dxr6b on voritor trackers (17.5Kpayout on Dant). StrafeShot2 kills 'em for 5K XP before they can even get to me. I can max in Rifles XP on one set of buffs.

Baz nitches also work great, you get about 5k xp per. Hit a lair on dath and you will easily get 75k xp plus the lair. The missions will grant you about 11k each.

If you are hunting in the right areas you should be able to max out your Force XP2 to 2 and half times on a set of buffs with rifleman...

Yeah if you're only maxing rifle xp once per buff set you are not being as productive as you could be. Giant Baznitches and Kamurith Defilers will cap me over 2 times per buff set and that is including the drive back and forth to the village.

Question for you, ochad: I've tried grinding rifle xp two distinct ways on Dath:
1. Taking those exact missions you mentioned from the outpost over and over.
Advantages: Money, and you KNOW there's a nest at the end of your trip and usually 5 critters per spawn.
Disadvantage: Travel time back and forth to outpost.
2. Looking for random spawns in the wild.
Advantages: IF you stumble across a good hunting area, a few good nests.. then massive xp.
Disadvantages: may take a while to find a good hunting area.
Which way do you hunt?
I've tried BOTH ways. It seems to me that method 2 works out better than method 1, MOST of the time, but occasionally I hit that dry spell with not good spawns/hunting areas.

I run missions. My strategy:
1. Get to lair and open up with AOEs on the layer untill layer is just below 50%.
2. Peace out and change target to one of the mobs. Have to peace or the AOE bug happens.
3. AOE all the mobs untill the spawn is gone and then finish off the layer.
I find that if I hit the layer down below 50% on the first attack it will spawn all 15 without me touching it again. If I get a break between spawns I kill all the surrounding layers no matter if they are others missions or not, sparing group mates layers of course. I also kill any spawns nearby before going to next mission or retrning to outpost. Doing this method I have capped 3 times in one buff set so I know it's possible, only happened once though.
The luckiest way is to find additional layers around your mission and wipe them out asap. I'll make 200k+ xp per mission set if all goes well and some decent credits too.
