Hi, as of this moment I am a 1.-0-2-1 Rifleman and starting to bust ass up the ladder. This is my first hand at SWG and my first Profession, my other is as a novice CH and working on that too. I have been looking at the forums for a while now and due to some of the dates and the frequency of the updates for SWG I'm not exactly sure what the answers to some of the questions I've been hunting for are. So some of these questions may be things that people have asked before if not recently, but If someone would please answer them for me here that way I would at least know that they were up to speed. Just for help with giving answers that pertain to my situation, I am entirely a creature hunter, PvE all the time
Questions:
1a:Is there no longer a cert for the Disrupter Rifle? I got to Counter-Sniping 2 because that's what I was told gave you the Cert, but now I see nothing in my Cert list and I just realized it doesn't say anywhere that you can get a Cert at that level.
1b: If it is still possible to get a cert in Disrupter rifle then what advantages/disadvantages does it have over the T-21? I noticed that the prices for the Disrupter were way up there so I was wondering why it cost so much and if it would be a better weapon for my creature hunting.
2: I've read a few post about the (Exceptional) T-21 from the NightSister Elders, but I have also heard about the nerfing of the T-21, so is it still possible to get a Exceptional one? If so does anyone sell them? Even though I'm sure they are probably in the mid millions.
3: I rarely ever use cover because I like being able to do my Overshot for that one shot kill thing, In comparison how does the conceal shot rank up against the Overshot 1? and at my level how useful is conceal/conceal shot combo?
4: Any advice as to some good hunting for creatures? I have been tracking down Feral Banthas on tat (1400xp, 1 overshot kill) for a while now, and I have been going up pretty fast, anybody know of any other creatures that give pretty good xp with minimal rifle effort?
Thank you all in advance for your help.

Invisible Cert it is there

DXR-6 = acid, fast, high accuracy, ap2 = great gun - good for hunting stuff with acid resists.
t-21 energy ap3 = hunt everything else
both have there places. do examine and pick the right rifle for the situation
2: I've read a few post about the (Exceptional) T-21 from the NightSister Elders, but I have also heard about the nerfing of the T-21, so is it still possible to get a Exceptional one? If so does anyone sell them? Even though I'm sure they are probably in the mid millions.
They still drop - they are rare
they are worth most times in the 10's of millions
3: I rarely ever use cover because I like being able to do my Overshot for that one shot kill thing, In comparison how does the conceal shot rank up against the Overshot 1? and at my level how useful is conceal/conceal shot combo?
conceal shot works wonders on high level content you can't 1 shot kil. if you can one shot kill it that is always better. remember Overcharge 1 and 2 do much more damage to your rifle (which are insanely expensive if you have good ones.
4: Any advice as to some good hunting for creatures? I have been tracking down Feral Banthas on tat (1400xp, 1 overshot kill) for a while now, and I have been going up pretty fast, anybody know of any other creatures that give pretty good xp with minimal rifle effort?
Quenkers as always on dantooine - try to get an AOE attack.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
No prob - I would also suggest you read the Rifleman FAQ (stickied at the top of the forum)^_^

Thank you for everything, but If I can ask one or two last questions about Rifleman.
1:Are there any other "hidden" certifications? I was reading about some other rifles, the Berserker and another I can't remember the name of off the top of my head. When (if) do you get the certs for those, and are they any good?
2: AoE I'm assuming means Area of Effect, but what rifle shots do that outside of point blank single? Do I need to get to master and get Strafe shot?
Thank you again for everything

As for your next questions...
1. I dont think there r any more hidden or "invisible" certs in rifleman besides the DXR-6B cert. the other rifle u r thinking about would be the breserker rifle. its an ok rifle, stats on most of them that i have seen r about 5.0 spd @ 450 or so max dam. they do heat damage, so thats good, but they r AP0, so they r considered "limited use" rifles. personally as a master rifleman i do not have a breserker, and never plan to get one.
2. PBA is not the only AoE attack we have. i do believe that flushing shot 2, and flurry shot 2 r AoE, and flurry shot dizzies, so thats good, and as u mentioned Strafe 2 is a AoE.

The certs for all the new weapons, except the Scythe, are invisible. Berserker is at Rifle Abilities III. It's AP0 and Heat damage. I don't use it because I don't have one and the rest of my weapons are usually more than enough to take core of myself.
2: AoE I'm assuming means Area of Effect, but what rifle shots do that outside of point blank single? Do I need to get to master and get Strafe shot?
There are four AoE Rifleman attacks. StartleShot2, FlurryShot2, FlushingShot2, and StrafeShot2. Also ranged AoE attacks are NOT like melee radius attacks. Ranged AoE attacks go out in a cone based on the primary target.
Thank you again for everything
I've been working on a revised FAQ. Here is the link. It may be of some help.
