1. As I started as a Artisan (twi-lek, not sure if this effects stats) my stats are setup really for an artisan, so what id like to do is migrate and change all my stats to make them more suitable for a tougher combat/rifleman proffesion....what do I changeEACH stat too?? Right now when i wear any composite it kills my mind, do I need to wear armor as a rifleman?? in paticular..composite?

A. I wear advanced kinetic ubese (70% resists). the encumbrance is much lower, and if you're only pve'ing, you only need kinetic resists (stay away from npcs that shoot). No, armor isn't necessary, but it really really helps. you can wear multiple pieces of ubese without being buffed, even with moderate secondary stats. Obviously, you do need focus, willpower, and mindpool, since all of your specials have heavy costs there. More importantly, buy alot of mind enhancing foods and drinks (ryshcrate, breath of heaven, fishak surprise, etc). those buffs significantly increase your capability to maintain fire. I buy them by them 5 crates at a time. finally, get a cdef rifle max experimented for low hams and speed. make a macro that will equip it, fire a warningshot (since you have marksman support 3) and then /peace. that's your "bail out" button. it will also increase your survivability tenfold. FYI: being a twilek does affect your stats, but it's not a variable-- you're stuck with who you are. Migrate as much as possible into your mind stats.

2. Obiouvlsy even if I master rifleman, im still going to have many skill points left, what other skills should I consider trying to master along with my rifleman skills?? I was thinking maybe CH or Squad Leader as I love leading groups, but im not totally sure, cause I know having master medic would be a big help in battle too, im open to any other ideas for skills.

A. I've done both-- master medic (some doc) and master ch. CH is much much more valuable to you as a PVE'er. All the medic you need is First Aid 4 and Pharmacology 3. that will let you use Stim C's experimented for effectiveness, and you'll be tossing 1k+ heals.

I really enjoyed the Ranger/Rifleman combo. It's fantastic if you're going to do pve (big game hunter for example), I'm not into pvp myself. I think there are certainstyles of play depending on what you want to do. If you're not going to pvp, maybe you don't need armor. It can sure help though, especially moving up the trees. That becomes a matter of preference.

As you proceed into the Rifleman tree you'll want to migrate your stats to your mind pools. Doctor and entertainer buffs are nice, food and spice can give you the edge in a tough situation.

It's important to play the profession in a way that let's you have fun. That is what it's all about!

you'll notice everyone will have a different template that suits them. i don't pvp ver much, i keep several sets of armor at my house depending on what I am going to do, but I have found lately that I am depending less & less on armor of any type.

I am currently:

rifle 4/3/3/3

medic 2/2/0/0

scout 4/0/2/2 ( i sometimes harvest or survey for creds for guild members)

brawler 0/0/3/0

entertainer 0/2/0/2
