Well, I have seen so many arguments for and against what to get first, and I'd like to know your input. Starting from Novice Rifleman, is it better to get Flushing Shot 2 or Head Shot 3 first?

**Note: In this profession, the attacks in the combat tree don't work very well. I got Novice yesterday, and hadenough combat saved from Teras Kasi Master for Flurry Shot 2. It sucks, only the speed helps lol.

So, Flushing 2 or HS3 first!

Yo if you need like...I dunno a slave or somthing well i need the money. Give me $$ and ill do almost anything.

HS3 has a higher damage multiplier than HS2, but is slower and uses more HAM. If you're not hitting the speed cap with HS2, HS3 will only give a very small increase in damage per second (~5%) which is not worth the greatly increased HAM costs.

The accuracy boosts from the sniping tree are nice, but gettingflushing2first will increase your killing power much more than any number of boxes in sniping.

HS3 is nice for killing a single target, since it targets one pool, but HS2 works nearly as well.

Flushing Shot 2 is nice if you have someone to tank with you, and it does massive damage. I used flushing shot 2 to killed an entire squad of STs before i give up the criminal life.

id get FS2 first, then go all the way up the sniping tree, once you do that you should have 4th tree at the 3rd block, then get the 2nd tree with conceal shot and such, and youll be all set
