Hi all,
I just becale novice rifleman. What I have learned is: this is a great profession if u have a tank...
My question to you is: which 'pet' should I use to draw the attention of the agro away from me to the pet.
Should I use an (lvl10) animal? Which one is better?
Or a droid? Or a faction pet (i'm Imp)? The imp faction pet i got is a 'shooter' himself and seems to run away all the tame which causes more agro on me...
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Chalithra,

lvl 10 creatures are not what they once where so currently I would recommend a combat droid with good stats
high ham and keep a few droid repair kits handy at all times.

Oh, I thought this was going to be a thread about how riflemen make great pets. hehehe.
I'd recommend a bot. You don't have to be overt and you don't have to worry about the smell of a bantha.

Yeah, a tank is good. They need to make us REAL snipers so the mobs cannot even see us when we fire. The agro is especially painful when you are not master, as I'm finding out.

True. It's just those isolated times when Strafe Shot and Flushing shot don't work that is a tank is good to have. Agree, most masters can kill anything before it gets within aggro range, though.

We can be invisible to the mobs. But most masters are powerful enough and/or have enough melee defense to just run around shooting everything to hell and back.

You don't need a tank you just need conceal shot.

Tank + AoE > Concealshot (By far 
)

Conceal shot can cause random bleeds which leead to aggro. A tank is much better assurance of something not getting into melee range, though even without a tank, for a MRM, it shouldn't be a problem.

If you keep out to range you don't seem to get bleeds with concealshot. Also if you do get a 'miss', peace out, wait, start again.
I've started keeping my 'bot parked nearby and only sending him in to tank if the MoB aggroes or my camo wears off. That happens, he goes toddling across, starts swinging punches and I can go after the pool most damaged with specials / weapon change

"They need to make us REAL snipers so the mobs cannot even see us when we fire"
But they can;t do that!!! That would mean giving us a Real KENITIC weapon with no glowing shot going through the air. hehe
