Master Rifles does more damage and you got conceal and sniper shot. MBH has a bit of variety and more defenses. I went with MBH/M Doc, the marksman tree in rifles and a +25 rifle speed belt. Its nice for kiting as I can heal but Id have to say I'd rather do more damage.

Thx for your reply, I will miss MBH but I think rifleman just goes better with ranger, do you agree?

Well, by itself it'd be mbh hands down for me, advanced critical, underhand, eye/torso/confusion...
But however, you're also going ranger and by that you would enjoy rifleman for cover, conceal, and sniper shot. You'd miss advance critical, crazy damage with no windup. Btw rifles have no states to apply, although startle shot can delay someone for like 4 seconds.

As a stand alone profession, I would say that MBH would be a better choice. The irony is that Rifleman seems to be best when you're using specials from other professions.

Wait a second... We've got Clone Trooper armor now, three kinds even? But... Where are our X-wing helmets already?
I know this is off topic, but...
YEAH! Where are our X-wing helmets, or the Rebel Fleet Trooper helmets?!?!
and can we bring back the Endor Rebel Spec Forces helmet?

As a MR/MCH i have the same template issues as the OP more or less, Ive been MR/MCH for over 18 months, its what my character is, so I never really thought of swapping, but I will say that being only a MR I dont outdamage people as i should, the difference between MR DPS and other professions isnt what the nerf callers would have you beleive.
( I can, in groups , be easily outdamaged by a MBH/Mcarb using a proton carbine, or an advanced laser if he wants to prove a point)
For solo survival, i think Id take MBH every day, much more varied attacks.
Rifles works well with pets,for you I guess the gamble is will rangers eventually get some camo bonuses that make conceal more useful than it currently is.

Pick up Master Rifles Master Commando...hitting someone with a Head Shot with a very nice Plasma Flame Thrower is beautiful.

I don't know... Master rifles/master commando somehow seems like a waste to me. Not enough good specials.
I mean, Master commando/master bounty hunter or master commando/pistoleer might be more interesting.
