what HE said

You will love rifleman twice as much with flushing 2.

ack, hmm.. I did it wrong then..

I started with Sniper tree & Abilities (Combat XP had 300k of it) and went 4-0-0-4 1st.. and now going up Concealment..

Currently 4-2-0-4, lol sounds like I went backwards.. still powering through it getting Mondo XP..

What's so Great about Flushing 2?

Thanks for the input, I have never used pets and don't intend to, is flushing shot 2 still worth it?

flushing2 is area of effect (a cone of death) that will hit any targets in range/close together. it is random-pool dmg, 4x dmg multiplier.

it can be dangerous if you're not going to be able to kill all the mobs that you hit with it before they get to you.

if you have a pet to hold agro on a lot of mobs, then you can kill several targets at the same time. imagine the xp possibilities

Now I just take my crappy level 10 pet buff him and throw him out for bait still can lay a nest of pickets out before he dies.. Flushing shot 2 all the way..

Without someone to tank for you, AoE will only be good in PvP, against weaker mob and/or you plan to kite those creatures.

AoE is great for xping when you have tank becos, your tank will draw all the aggro and it will only "steal" the xp from the creature it is attacking. You will received full xp from other creatures that attacking your tank. Important is, you need to make sure your tank already aggro all the creatures b4 your fire your AoE special move (Flurry2 or Flushing2).

I have level 1in both of these, and have enough xp for level 2 in one of them. My question is which path is better, and should I just go one for one all the way up or top one out and thenfinish the other?

if your intent is to master the profession - attaining the third box in countersniping is generally regarded as the Fast Track to XP, with Flushingshot2 coming from that box.

go countersnipe3 first, then do the sniper lines for accuracy, then finish countersniping for ranged mitigation and master

(this is generally the fastest way - though flushing2 works best with pets to tank for you and is a little tougher to control when solo'ing without pets. You may be best off to stick to concealshot + bleeds + headshot if you solo without pets.)
