So live, typically people would build a Master Rifleman / Master TK combo- is that still viable by itself to hunt krayts, DJM, Elders etc? What would need to be mixed with it? I guess the process would be, KD 2, switch to rifleman, pop off a few shots with your T21 and then switch back to TK. Usually medic isn't needed since TK is so tanky, but what to mix with it? You could go master brawler to get some more tankiness, you could go master marksman etc.

Any suggestions?

Most folks are going to dual box a Commando with their stacker. Myself and a couple of guildies have messed with a rifleman tank, build. It works really well to pull, and can take a beating. However, the lack of COB kind of hurts its overall damage mitigation. This assumes that you are using the rifle as your primary weapon.

This is one of the builds we used effectively. MRifles/Pistols xx44/Pike xx4x/TK 43x4. Good state def, good melee and ranged def.
If you ran a MCommando/pistols xx44/Medic 334x, you could macro the rifleman and just heal with the commando as needed. You could probably dual box most things with this.
I am not certain you could main tank without any heals at all. With heals, it is probably viable. Ancients, elders, Acklay, etc... all have significant burst damage, and this is where a rifleman stacker struggles.

Hope this helps.
