got master rifleman yesterday, trying to do what i set out to do with this profession, kill the big things. right now i'm attempting a canyon krayt, but so far it seems to detect me no matter what, i'll prone from 70 to 64m, suddenly i'm under attack. from what i've read you can conceal shot a canyon krayt to death, what am i doing wrong? do i need mask scent? a person in another thread said he uses Cover+Sneak to get in range, does cover increase concealmeant? i thought it was for ranged defense..

maybe try getting them when they are laying down

I'm not MM, yet, but I know that many hunters have told me that Mask Scent is invaluable for stealth attacks on creatures. If you don't have it, It would be worth picking up via the scout profession. I think you get it at Exploration II. BTW, are you soloing this Krayt?

Well, there's also the random chance 1pt bleed the devs added to /concealshot that auto-aggros the MOB onto you should the bleed stick. Maybe you've just got bad luck...

I'm pretty skeptical about concealshot-ing a krayt to death being very worthwhile. First of all, /maskscent is useless. It should detect you when you get within 64 meters if not further out. Same with kimos and probably goraxes. 
On top ofthat, they just plain like to warp on you which is no fun. My advice is to get one or two trustworthy friends and you'll do just fine. You need one tank, one CM, and your Rifleman. I think you know what each person's role is 
It will also help(not completely neccessary) to have a Doctor for your tank to deal with the status effects- if they have trouble with them on their own. As long as everyone does what they should be doing, it reallywill be as easy as it sounds

If you're after killing the big things, there are better professions for that goal. And maskscent is useless indeed at exploration II, semi-useless at exploration IV (although it's very good to have during grinding rifleman), but it's definitely useless against krayts, they'll sniff you all the way from mos entha

I'm afraid I don't know why conceal's not working for you, but I can confirm that it's still working for me... I usually will go for conceal till I break it with a bleed and then apply dots and tank with melee skills. In your case, I'd suggest giving another shot at concealing from about 70m. Make sure you're prone and leave your speeder out as you will probably cause a bleed before you finish the krayt off and if you do, you need to get away till the bleed wears off before you go back to concealing.

actully to do it well here is the professions that are needed... MRifle, MCH, MDoc... even better if the combo is MRifle/MCH/Ranger (you can find them dragons better) with the Doc and hejust heals the pets...
never tired concealshoting a canyon... Juvy would be easy... don't think its worth the time to conceal... and don't maskscent... they break it everytime then agro...
krytes warp pretty bad... heres the easiest way around that... when you find one tab it for the target... then watch the little range mod on it... as soon as it goes to numbers you can shoot it (this could be upto 85m out)... all big creatures are like this, they aren't where they appear to be...
