that's pretty much the build of my lvl 25 Marksman right now.

I do use tactical stance occasionally and sniper for fun though

I didn't waste any points into the grenades after reading guides on the HGL forums.

I agree, though I don't know where to put the rest. And any chance to phase is not a bad thing.

If they made homing work for all gun types, I would be all over that. And hollow points just is not worth more than 1 it seems, as maxed it is nothing more than a single high-end mod. I can't decide though if just 1 into phase grenade is good enough to phase. If yes, then I can go for ele beacon.

What your lvl 50 build gonna look like?

how about this:

http://hellgate.ingame.de/skilltree/marksman/?l=50&s=0007a1070007a00700000000000

atleast ur crits will do good dmg and proc boosts lasts a while, and u have good beacon to take down anything u point it at.

i'm gooing personaly for this http://hellgate.ingame.de/skilltree/marksman/?l=50&s=0007a1070007a00700000000000
reason why= i want complete rambo style that makes beacon unuseless for me and full escape for running out dangerous places
gonna make MM whit other stats to but for now only rambo^^ (grenades/escape/fire skils (non-tactical)) (use only stun grenades)

Hi Chief. Ok I just got back from Test Center, testing out raptors + homing shot. I remember I tested w/ raptors long ago, I believe pre 0.6, and I'm confident it didn't work back then. However, a guildmate asked me if that combination worked last night, and of course naturally I said no, cuz it didn't work months ago. But that was then...so just to be sure, I went to test it today for a guildmate. CHIEF ! I'm so excited again about my Favorite class...U wanted to initially make a Rambo-like MM? Well..how about running around just mowing down mobs with dual wielding 600/min raptors (or the higher lvl types) and having homing shot work !?! I'm going to make another MM now, with something similiar to what you had in mind...using raptors. OMG so fugging awesome. I always liked th gun..but never thought it was viable cuz of it's crazy recoil (or missile spread). But once it procs, all that won't matter anymore since it'll all home in on a mob!!!

Note: I did this test on St Paul runs. As you are well aware, there are many barrels, crates, and other things you can destroy there. When there are no mobs around, it'll target those objects...np right? But what happens when there are mobs around along with these objects? Well it all depends on the distance between you and the mob. I say distance because when homing shot procs...it'll go straight for approx 3-4m, then home on a target. So for example, you can shoot it 45degree angle up in the air, it'll continue it's straight path for 3-4m, then make a sharp angle and home down to a target. And I'm saying this because the more distance there is between you and a mob, the greater chance it'll target barrels and crates rather than the mobs. But it also seems to be quite random. Sometimes half will target barrels while the other half targets a mob, sometimes it'll just by pass the mob entirely and target a barrel.

i think i know what my respec will be

A friend of mine have the ricochet and reflected maxed (the latter with item aswell). and he can clear a room of lvl 51-53 grogores (as lvl 46), if he gets the shit to proc! he has high crit mods/weapon, along with a crit bonus atm at around 500%, it looks SOO cool when it procs!

Btw use rapid fire aswell, whats more rambo than standing still while you have a room full of death comming against you, only moving at the last sec? or better, being so confident that you know they will go down before they reach you!

I know that rapid fire is the skill of choice. But 2 things, it makes you stationary, and I want to run and gun, and it is what nearly every mm is doing. So this is different by design. And so far, up to level 30 and about to do the 5 lies, I have had no troubles really.
