how does that help me?

I Mastered Rifle before the change to ConcealShot, so I went Sniping IV, Counter-Sniping III, Concealment I, Counter-Sniping IV, Concealment IV.

Now that ConcealShot is much more user-friendly, Go with either Sniping IV first(The accuracy helps a LOT) or Concealment I. Then, do the other branch followed by Counter-Sniping III for FlushingShot 2 (AoE). Then, finish off that wonderful Concealment branch.

Special Abilities can help soooo much if you have Combat XP saved up as it gives you the much-needed speed mods.

I went up to snip3 then counter snip 4- then oncealment. And ofcourse upgrading my rifle spec abilities as soon as i could.

ya i already have 0/0/0/1. Thanks for your info.

took me a little over three weeks to actively master rifle. but i had been using conceal shot at 0100 for about 2 months to run bounty hunting missions. when i decided to go rifle i took up 0103 immediately due to all the banked combat XP i had. then my skills went a bit like this:
0100
0103
1103
1113
1133
2133
3133
4134
4144
and then went up the concealment tree.

Most useful specials below Master are /MindShot2, and /FlushingShot2 - your second bleed (stackable), and a very powerful AoE attack respectively. I'd go straight for those (possibly ms2 first off the bat, and the accuracy *does* help). /ConcealShot is **edit** handy, but there are better ways to get xp - very cool for killing huge mobs, though (see the 'Volsted vs the Peko Albatross' thread).

Hope that helps!
